Thanks for the help.
I searched the forum before posting, and I read a post by DSE/SPOT that said the newer DVD-Rs needed to be burned at higher speeds to reduce errors.
I currently use 8x disks burned at a lower speed, but its hard to find ones that have a printable surface. I can find the 16x ones, but there are warnings on the package stating they may mess up older burners. I looked for a firmware update for my burner, but its just too old.
