Hi NoOp,
I have just written 3 dvd's as a test, 2  -R and 1  +R  all are 
readable. The same files that are on the unreadable discs transfered 
from xp machine via memstick.
Am starting to think may be the dvd's I used were defective, they were 
the last on the spindle (Sony) That doesn't gell though as they were all 
readable on the old XP machine.

Fstab
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
/dev/scd1       /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

lshw output for the 2 drives . Don't know if it's important, but no 
reference to
dvd+r .
