i haven't had a problem backing up any dvds till now. the movies are white noise (2004) and marksman(2005). they read fine and once i insert a disk to write to they each get up to 88% then message pops up saying write error (caused by bad media). which is generic error message but my driver is up to date and the disks are perfect and i use good quality dvds for my burns. the write message error details sayss "Write DVD 10 11 W2." exact same message for each movie. it's not computer configuration/haradware since past movies have done well. any insight to the error message?
