   I just burned a DVD with 6.2 G.   After burning I viewed the DVD and it worked great.  I have an Imation D20 burner and printer the burner is acting up so I did not use it.  I printed the DVD's and now I have 30 worthless DVD's because none of my DVD players will read it.  I have never had this problem before does anyone have any ideas?

   I'm wondering about the quality of your DVDs. If you're using some el-cheapo printable blanks, it could be that the aluminum layer is too thin, so that the ink used for printing actually changes the reflectivity of the disc. We've heard some reports that it works better if you print the discs before you burn them for this reason. That way, the burner can perform optimum power calibration calculations based on the reflectivity, including the label.

   Thanks for your help.  I think I have figured out the problem.
