I find certain brands of PC DVD disk drives & recorders to be very finicky and it seems to be more the recorders than the disks. For instance, my PC at home will write to almost any -r brand it seems except for a certain model of Maxwell. However, the Maxwells work fine on my work laptop but it's even more finicky and refuses to record to seemingly anything but Verbatim and that specific Maxwell.

Obviously, when manufacturers settled on a standard for writable DVDs, they should have spent a little more time actually standardizing.

With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.
