Ok some history.
I have a eMac, 1Ghz, 1Gig Ram, 200Gb Hard Drive, and Lite-on 8x DVD +/- Writer.
The problem being the DVD Writer.
I found the standard DVD Writer to be pants, my friend with 17" Powerbook says the same about hers, so she bought an external..Seems to be Apples only poor point for me.. i don't like to be restricted to -R only, i prefer +/- Rw. I have enabled support for this drive, so all media can be burnt in finder, though i don't like the fact that finder doesn,t support multisession. So i use toast titanium, which enables me to use multisession, which is great for weekly backups.

Anyway, i am trying to burn 3 avi's to a RW dvd, now once the burn is complete, i try and drag them back and finder says its having problems reading and writing..
I have erased Cd, put some docs/pictures other avi's, they burn, and i can copy back to finder. I have used other Cds, but its just these 3 avi's..
I can move the originals from location to location, no probs but once on CD, they won't copy back, yet they play fine from Cd..
Any help, please..
cheers Declan.
PS, i am 100% sure Writer and Media are not faulty..
