Not sure if this is hardware or software, but maybe someone can help.
I am using a Lite-on DVD burning. I've been encoding my own video using Nero Retail release and then burning it to DVDs. I noticed with the TDK DVD-R I have that I fail to burn like 35% of the discs. Even though Nero reports it burned correctly, I can just look at the DVD and tell if it's messed up. And when I play the DVD most work until close to the last 20-25 mins of the disc then crash. A friend of mine gave me some of his TDK DVD+R disks and every single time I used one of those it worked perfectly, and I blew through probably 30 disks!
Anyone have any ideas what I may be doing wrong? My DVD recorder lists both DVD-R and DVD+R. I don't really understand what the difference is and the +R's seem to cost more, on average.
