Thanks, John. I can see that now. I should have gone to the home page
and checked it out.

I have been using Ashampoo 2009 Free version for some time now, and I
really like it. The newer version linked in this threead should be even
better.

How did you check them? The most useful way is by scanning them on a drive
capable of returning PI/PO error rates and using software like Nero
CDSpeed or DVDInfoPro to perform media analysis. When I do that, I usually
find that drives which have reverted to generic strategy on unknown
media produce discs that may superficially seem "ok" but actually have
rather high error rates - particularly towards the end of the disc. I
usually reburn such discs on compatible drive/media setups if the discs
are going to be used for long term backup, or interchanged with someone
else's drive. This can be especially problematic with video DVD players
that may unexpectedly refuse to load discs, or develop stuttering and
pixellation towards the outer portion of the disc.
