my DVD burner is having a lot of trouble burning data DVD+R's. I am trying to be in the presence of backing my music MP3 collection up on DVD+R's to save space, since my CD-R collection has become disorganized and all over the place. However, using Nero, I am having a 9/1 failure ratio. Most of the time, the DVD finishes successfully, but when I transfer the files onto my other computer to make sure it's working, I keep getting "cyclic redundancy errors". How do I go about avoiding getting these errors? I know blank DVD's are so much cheaper than they used to be, but still, I don't buy a 50 pack so I'll have 40 coasters.

Can someone help me? I am totally at wits end I have heard about External Hard Drives, but hearing the crash ratio on those and the fact I'm currently on a budget, I don't forsee getting one anytime soon. Can someone help me stop having dud discs?

try lowering (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/309522)the write speed of the drive and try a different brand of disks

tried to slow it down to no luck, still received errors.

I usually use Memorex, I always have had best luck with that brand... until now that is

try some Taiyo Yuden - they are much better quality and you can get them for about the same price.
