Andy, thanks for taking the time to provide such valuable information.
:-)

In fact, I was searching why my dvd writer failed to write the lastest
Prodye DVD (MEdia code DT-D03/004). 3 times in a row, the beginning of
the disc was unreadable.

I will try some more Prodye and check for PI/PO errors with qpxtool. 

I'm still wondering if I've bought bad quality media or if my pioneer
drive is failing.

Cheers
