Not an issue of media, can't even get it through the first part of the process. After 3 pristine originals, same issues each time, inability to copy with any of my available programs ( CloneDVD2, Nero, Roxio and Shrink) plus a windows copy and cut and paste, I just gave up. I typically use Verbatim, but writing isn't an issue since I can't get that far. I'm guessing it has something to do with disks shipped to this market, and the issue is too pervasive to be an isolated incident. Hopefully, nobody picks up on this as a way to copy protect. I've copied over 100 films in the last 1+ years with SlySoft's suite and never had this kind of problem, so I guess I was due.
