I agree. Verbatim DVD+R DL media is the best.
I'm just a fellow Toast-user so please don't blame Roxio for any misguidance I may provide. And do let me know if your issue gets solved. Cheers from Eugene, Oregon!

Verbatim, especially if you have an internal superdrive.

Not that it matters since the Gurus answered but I suggest Verbatim+R.

Thanks.

The minus DL must be a new media because when I went to several box stores yesterday to purchase the plus DL they only had the plus DL's.

My burner does not support the minus DL.
