[MacDV] Memorex DVD-R Fails in Superdrive

[Gerhard Kuhn]

I have successfully burned Verbatim, imation and a ton of no name DVD-R 
disks that I bought at
   http://www.effectuality.ca/
I have made a couple of coaster but they were the result of leaving 
other programs running in the background while the disk was actually 
being burned.  We have a Sony set top player and all the above disks 
run flawlessly.  My brother's Pioneer also has no trouble playing them. 
  One of our friends has an off brand DVD player and it plays the movies 
fine but has trouble with the audio at times, either drops out 
completely or is of annoyingly poor quality.
