Disc's won't play or load times excessive

CloneDVD is getting positive feedback from Windows about the WRITE but your drive is lying. Quite simply, it is not writing the data correctly but tells Windows each time "all OK".

Time for better blanks or burner and never burn slower than 4x.

What is the drive in your laptop? And what firmware is it on, you may there's and update available, failing that you could get an external drive for your laptop or a replacement internal drive

Im having same problem burning at X6 and all of a sudden i cannot use disc unless on the computer have been using Phillips for about a yr and until recently everything was fine now i have had to trash a whole spindle.50 disc down the drain.

The best luck I've had using cheap blanks for grand kids cartoons is rip to the HDD and use ImgBurn to burn the blank and setting the burn speed to half the media's rated speed and using the Optimum Power Calibration setting in ImgBurn. Different blanks require different laser power settings. I've had good results this way and a DVD doesn't last 6 months when used as a Frisbee anyway.
