Do you have a PC or a Laptop?

just came across something. check it out. http://www.electricattic.net/en/mediumspeederror.htm . My guess is, the problem results due to poor DVD quality, try changing the brand.

I have also had this problem. With me I can't burn bootable cd's with 'phillps' brand yet can burn movies.

Have you tried lowering the burn speed?

- let us know how it goes.

The firmware on your burner may be updatable, search for your burners make and model on the net.
