Ok. The media I bought are as follow:
- TDK DVD-RW single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-2x;
- TDK DVD-R single-sided Data/Video 4.7GB 1-4x.
Is there anything wrong whith these types of media? Advices?
Here are some informations about the report from "dvd+rw-mediainfo".

It is interesting to note that the only media to report correctly its
Media ID is a new (never touched) media. Even on the correctly burned
DVD-R media the Media ID is not provided by "dvd+rw-mediainfo"...
I don't think my problems were related to the quality of the TDK
DVD-R/RW. What do you think?
Thanks,
