I don't understand how this can be a media issue when I buy in hundred packs and only the last 20 started doing this and now the new hundred pack is still doing it.

14. Hey, you're wrong! I've been using this so-called "junk" blank media forever, and it's always worked fine. But suddenly these same discs from the same spindle don't work. I can even use some of this cheap blank media with other programs. Nothing has changed except Clonedvd or Anydvd. So you don't know what you're talking about!
Bad quality blank media can vary in results from disc to disc, even within the same spindle. With good blank media you can play "find the bad blank" game. With inferior quality blank media you get to play "find the blank that works" game. And even when inferior blank media does work, you can play the "will my backups still play after 6 months (or even after two years)" game.
Use good quality blank media (Taiyo Yuden Premium, Verbatim, Maxell Plus, Maxell Broadcast Quality). Avoid Ritek, Memorex, Regular Maxell blank media that you can find in most stores that are not made in Japan, Fuji, TDK from Costco, and Princo. Also, on average, it's wise to avoid blank media that's made in China or Hong Kong.
If you're using double layer blank media, use Verbatim +R DL (preferably made in Singapore) or MAM-A 8x +R DL.
I will upgrade to a better media when these discs are gone.
Then that's your problem--not ours
All drives die over time.
but I'm surprised they would
If you know drives die, then why be surprised?
Also, is this from AnyDVD or when DVDClone is working?
Your problem has nothing to with Anydvd
No the VSO Inspector does read the disc with a bad file
If your scan is showing read errors, then you've produced a bad burn. If the scan doesn't produce read errors, then the disc can be read in the drive that you're doing the testing on; a good scan does not indicate, however, that the disc will play in any given standalone player. The reflective layer used in blank media plays a significant role in playback compatibility, and the reflective layers do differ depending on the disc manufacturer and type of blank used.
Does calling me a liar qualify as a "personal attack"?
Not when it's the truth. You've admitted to not using recommended blank media; you didn't go" thru all those steps". "[Going] thru all those steps" is not the same thing as passing over them. I told you the truth. You didn't go "thru all those steps". Next time do so before wasting our time.
And you still haven't posted an Anydvd log .zip file for some unknown reason. You'll note it's one of the basic requirements that's requested from
