Special2k, which burning software did you use?
I've used IMGBurn.

from my experience neither recorder nor media nor software makes a difference.
even high quality media on a high quality recorder will result in DRE.
its the chip or the laser adjustment.

Thats not true, media and burning speed is very important.
I have 7 dvds burned (all verbatin -r), 3 of them give DRE's the others dont. The 3 that dont work were burned at 8x and the ones that do are at 4x.
Also, for GC games (for the Wii games I dont get any DRE's with the 4x discs), it helps if Connect24 is turned OFF and if the console is restarted after turning it off.
I tested this 5 times, with always the same dvd)!!!!
--Connect24 ON

Almost 16h playtime after that without DRE's.
Ps: not sure if its important but my console is in the horizontal position.
