Works fine here. Go out and upgrade the firmware for your writer - for most 
people that fixes it. If that doesn't help, I would recommend that you try 
different burner to make sure you didn't get a bad batch of media. 

Unfortunately, even with all standards out there, there are still some 
drive/media combinations that simply don't work well.
