does this happen with other software/OS, too? The DVD-writer included in my
notebook (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo D 7830) had a firmware bug. It was able to
write DVD+RW but it ruined DVD+R. Fortunately, a new firmware was available,
which can now write DVD+R, too. (IIRC this bug was specific for some DVD+R
brands.)

Anyway, I think it's a good idea if you'd post your computer and/or writer
model, because it still could be a problem with the software (or an
incompatibility with other hardware).

HTH,
 Mike
