Just because they do not burn with YOUR drive does NOT make the discs
unreliable. In MOST cases it is most likely poor firmware of the drive
ITSELF. If a disc is created to the DVD specification it "should" work in
any drive that supports the standard. In reality SOME drives are better than
others at meeting the DVD specifications.
