FWIW, here's a summary of the methodical tests I did with 10 identical
brand DVD-RW discs, numbered #1 to #10.
#1 BAD
Contents = Short MPG movie (video/audio)
Lounge DVD player? NO
PC PowerDVD? NO
IsoBuster displays: Open Session 1
Track 01 0 4.38 GB
Surface scan initial message: "This is a packet written disc. Errors
are not abnormal..."
Surface scan results: About 48,000 errors when canceled at 2%
#2 BAD?
Contents = MoT movie (video/audio) Family tree
Lounge DVD player? YES
PC PowerDVD? NO
IsoBuster displays: Open Session 1
Track 01 0 4.38 GB
Surface scan initial message: "This is a packet written disc. Errors
are not abnormal..."
Surface scan results: About 46,000 errors when canceled at 2%
Question: Why can it play in lounge without any apparent flaws?
