Ritek junk
Same Ritek junk
You should only use Verbatim +R DL (preferably made in Singapore) or MAM-A 8x +R DL
These are only good if they are made in Singapore. Otherwise, they are Ritek--the same stuff sold under Memorex and TDK's name. So, typically it would be wise to avoid Sony +R DL as well.
Follow these steps in the order they are listed:
1. Visit your burner's website, and update your burner's firmware if possible.

2. Use good quality blank media. Use Verbatim +R DL (preferably made in Singapore) or MAM-A 8x +R DL only.
If you use junk blank media, then you should expect problems.
4. For "+R, +RW, +R DL" blank media, change the booktype of the blank media you're using to "dvd-rom", if your burner supports bitsetting changes. This step improves the chances of playability in/compatibility with (standalone, mostly) dvd players. The best way to do this is through the software that came with your burner (if possible).
Otherwise, use Nero cd-dvd speed to do this if you have to:
http://www.cdspeed2000.com/
This is a free program. (Insert the blank media in your burner. Select your burner in the drop down box at the top of the screen. Click "Extra", then "Bitsetting". Make the change to "dvd-rom" and click "set".)
If Nero cd-dvd speed doesn't work for you (options are greyed out), do this:
a) Download and install imgburn:
http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
This is also a free program
b) Insert your blank media in your burner.
c) Select your burner in the "Destination" drop down box.
d) Click "Tools"-->"Drive"-->"Change Booktype"
e) Choose your burner type
f) Under "Change For:", select what you're using
g) If your current setting is "dvd-rom", leave everything alone and exit Imgburn and ignore step "h)"
h) Under "New setting", select "dvd-rom". Click "Change" and then "Ok". Exit Imgburn
Some drives lose their settings each time you eject, so you might have to do this each and every time before you burn.
You can skip this step if your burner defaults booktype to "dvd-rom" automatically with the various +R types of blank media.
You can also skip this step if you're using dvd-r, dvd-rw, or dvd-r dl blank media.
Not all burners support bitsetting.
