Commercial engraving of CDs and DVDs is quite different from what we do at home. A master is burned on a special alloy and then copies are made by "stamping" blanks.

High speed burning used to cause some problem on old DVD burner (3-4 years ago). Also, unless working with SCSI, it is not always a good idea to burn directly from one burner directly to another (disk to disk). The use of a temp file on the hard drive is safer.

Have you changed DVD player since the recording?
Is the disk damaged?

One other thing. I've seen freshly copied DVDs working perfectly until someone put a label on them. DVDs are more sensetive than CDs and an incorrectly placed label can throw the DVD out of balance and makes it impossible to read on certain player.

Hope this helps
