Probably the simplest suggestion would be to record more slowly onto a<br>good quality DVD-R and use the 'verify' setting. If your player's<br>reading is below par you might still have problems, of course, but it

My sony combo dvd/vcr needs absolute perfect brand new dvds not to have these artifacts but it will accept non-standard dvd resolutions while my toshiba dvd palyer needs 720x480 otherwise it will not play correctly but it will read a dvdrw with fingerprints that has been erased 100 times...
