It is quite possible the roxio has changes their packet writing protocol,
and is does things differently enough to make the old dvd's incompatible.
First thing I would do is log which ones have been written since upgrading
Next would be to revert to old version of roxio and see if they are
readable/writeable
I would not chance adding information with a different version of
'drag-to-disc'. Given this problem, and potentially others, I would start
over.
For all the time it takes, re-record them. And again I suggest a complete
burn, not drag-to-disc'
