Media vs Burning Software ??

Is a strange subject. You would have thought that in this day and age, burning a CD or DVD would be a relatively painless exercise.
Anyway, I have an external Iomega Super DVD and use Iomega HotBurn Pro software, and I also have Nero. I have got so many coasters, so I was looking inline at a prodcut by InfnaDyne called AccuBurn-R, which gaurantees no data loss, user errors, and no more wasted disks.

I am not sure what to do. In a way I am tempted to buy it, but I am a bit sick that the software I have isn't doing it. Maybe it is the media I am using. I don't problems burning CD's with my internal laptop CD Burner using Imation disks, but I have thrown away so many DVD disks it isn't funny, and they don't come cheap and it is very frustrating. I have mainly been using TDK disks for DVD, which PC-Guy told me (see my post below) are made by CMC media which he reckons may be total cr@p.
What say you ?

Well I see it as both. 
I've always used CopyToDVD and ritek dvd-r's well I found that if I burn with BAO I have better compatibility. I found dvd players that would only play +r but after burning with BAO that changed. Now I can burn -rs and the players play them with out a problem. Well that just my option and my results be that it could be different for you with different hardware.

I don't agree at all, they are 100% hopeless crap... there should be no doubt at all about that.
TDK also stamps good media, but clearly enough noone would like to take the risk ending up with CMC's- since there's no indication on the box about the dye used.

Another resource (CDRlabs forum) had TTG01 as "TDK made by CMC" - and some people rated it better than most other "made by CMC" - another set of results were poor though - some suggestion that it was sold as 1-4x but the 4x identifier was not correct - leading some drives to write at 2x - try 2x, if you have some to use up and they are not forced to 2x - perhaps it's 2x media that's been respecified?
I only had 4 left yesterday, and all 4 screwed up when I was trying to burn a few things leaving me with 4 disks that appeared to contain no data but wouldn't be accepted by my drive, so gladly I do not have anymore left to use.
I know it's off topic, but does anybody know if an Xbox needs to be modded so it can run games downloaded from eDonkey and burned to DVD-R ?
