Thanks for the offer, Eric, but on third try with a different media brand I 
was eventually able to produce a DVD that was acceptable to the drive on the 
system.

Both the other iso burns were on media that I have used successfully in 
cooking off couple dozen video DVD's created on this and other burners.

Like I was saying, DVD technology is _so_ torally lacking in public standards 
and reliability....
