I have a Dell XPS with a DVD-ROm and DVD Burner. It came loaded with Roxio Creator LE-Dell Edition which I use to burn copies of DVDs. I have been using for several months without any problems. However, recent DVDs I have made in a program called Power Director 5 by Cyberlink (to put home movies onto DVD) have caused problems. I take the DVD I created in Power Director and use Roxio to make a second copy. Towards the end of the burning of the copy I'll get a message saying the program was unable to read the source disc and I should check for dust, fingerprints etc. I have had no problems copying other DVDs or CDs since getting this message It seems to only occur with recent DVDs made in Power Directot 5. I tested a DVD I made a few months ago in Power Director and had no problem burning a copy of it. Does anyone have a clue what the problem might be?

It's almost certainly down to the discs themselves - some discs are great for movies, others are totally useless. All I can suggest is for you to try another batch
If it ain't broke, fiddle with it until it breaks, then fiddle with it until you get it fixed

Bad discs? Get a free copy of DVD Info Pro and check the disc for errors. Clean out your burner using dry air; protect your eyes.
Cyberlink Power Producer, even the lite version that you got with Director has a DVD copy program. Did you try that?
Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.
