if u use k3b to burn your dvd's go into setting and put in 16mb buffer.
that may help u. and u need to use good media. cheap media isnt cheap
in the long run.

Hmm, it seems to me your keyboard is seriously broken. Evidenly the shift
key is stuck at 0, and your Y and O keys don't work very well. Oh, and the
apostrophe seems to be intermittent.

Cheap keyboards detract so much from the credibility of your message.

Not sure you want to do this... 32MB is the k3b default for DVD burns

Clean the lens and try a slower burn . If you can beg or borrow another burner
try that.

Unmount DVD icon. DVD is still in the drive. Re-mount DVD icon. The
content is visible and "mounted properly".
