Also, *avoid* Khypermedia DVD-R disks with the Pioneer drives, those disks are cheap for a reason. I got consistently unreadable disks (in the last 25% of the data burned, the first 75% was OK) with Khypermedia. They are sold here in Boston by Microcenter, in case anyone is tempted by the low price. The Verbatim disks I used were more expensive but error-free.
