Hmm

My guess would be a messed up drive since you say you burn at the slowest speed possible and that he has tried different DVD+-Rs :(. He should also consider flashing the drive .. if possible as that could solve the problem. The amount of errors towards the end of the DVD seem to be above allowed levels and that's what makes the DVD unviewable...

For a long time, the only way to flash a MediaTek based drive was to use mtkflash in DOS. Of course, manufacturers often released self contained Windows Flashers, but these were not suitable for recovering dead drives or for flashing back to a backup. Eventually, a neat tool called MTK WinFlash appeared which was capable of flashing many MediaTek based drives from Windows, and you could specify the firmware file to flash onto your drive. This program was even capable of recovering some drives by flashing directly to the IDE port where a misflashed drive was connected. Unfortunately, this program does not work on some newer drives, and it is incapable of backing up a drive's firmware. The latest program for flashing drives in Windows is called LtnFW. It has many useful features such as backing up and flashing the firmware, and it works for almost every Liteon manufactured device. Unfortunately, it cannot flash to an IDE port, so it cannot recover misflashed drives.

IS THAT THE ANSWER

Check the size of the files on the DVD. If the total size is greater than 4.7gig,
the overburn option is enabled, and causing the error.

Alternatively when using CLONE-DVD, use the COPY TITLE option, and disable
any MENU's LANGUAGES etc.

Yeah, if you're going the lets-overburn-this-dvd route then you need to get some highquality discs :)
