Not all dvd-r 's are created equal

So I've gone round and round with importing video from various tape media, and then went through the nightmare of burning projects to dvd with faulty dvd-r's. Note to whoever: If you want to use imovie or idvd to burn dvds, don't buy offbrand or store brand dvd-r's. If you do, half of the time you'll just burn coasters.

Of course, my dvd-r's were the last thing I thought of, after wasting a solid 2 days of scratching and banging my head, thinking I was doing something else wrong.

Lesson learned.
I finally went back to the store and purchased some Apple branded dvd-r media, which I hear is pretty reliable.
