I discovered my problem. I bought Dual Layer DVD +R discs because that is the only dual layer media my "highly rated" Benq DW 1655 burner can support, but I see right in my S97 user manual, that it doesn't support +R media. Even though some discs worked, it isn't "officially" supported. I also was reading that if I changed the "bitset" on DVD Decrypter or Nero when burning to "DVD-ROM" it increases the compatability chances, but I think that my quickest and easiest gaurenteed solution is to get another cheap DVD player for my home theater just to play my burned backups. I should be able to pick up another one for $25 like I did a year or so ago. And if it isn't the best, I will use it in our bedroom and move that one to the home theater.

Fun, fun....

Thanks everyone.
