I now use Verbatim blanks, and haven't run into a problem with them yet.

I've got some DLs like that (not Verbatim, those work ). Only one of my drives will burn them half decent, and one drive will only support them at 4x (they're 8x discs), and won't even start a burn.

I keep the Verbs for best, and the Ritek-coded ones for testing purposes.
