Problem burning to DVD-R but not DVD-RW

[simonhunter]

I've been using Intervideo DVD Copy 2 successfully on my main pc (Pioneer 107).

I've not got a second PC with a Sony DW-U18A and am having problems burning a movie. It works fine on a DVD-RW (which I used to test that all was ok) but when burned to DVD-R the copying finishes without errors but the disk is unreadable (tried both DVD durners & 2 DVD players).

Tried two types of DVD-R (both Ritek dye), 3 coasters so far could do with some help before I've got a pile of them!!

Any suggestions?

The Sony must not like the Ritek's, try another brand.

Or update the firmware on the sony. That could fix a compatibility problem with the media.

The only media U can be sure of in a Sony Is Sony Media <> that said my 500 burns Ritek G04's fine (@4x)
