With regards to standalone playback, it's probably the type of media you're using rather than the brand? (i.e., DVD-R as opposed to DVD+R or something). Some things to consider:
- Older standalones dont like DVD+R
- You might want to burn slower
Some other brands that are recognized for their quality are Tayo Yuden and Mitsubishi Chem; or pretty much anything by Verbatim should be decent.
- Also, are you burning DVDs or what format and are you certain your standalone supports it
- With PC playback, how are you trying to do it?

well i used OPTODISCW002 DVD-RW Discs, i have an Sylvania 19' all in one DVD/VHS TV and manual said that the player supports CD-/R/RW, DVD-/+R/RW etc

I'm thinking that it's the Discs, because a lot of people with this same drive is having the same problem with generic Discs like OPTODISC.

Yes indeed that;s what i suspect too (i just also wanted to present altenate possibilities). Try using different media to rule that out
