DON'T USE THE CHEAP MEDIA.
May a suggest you get the Verbatim or Mitsubishi media that uses the
new AZO for accurate writing.

I had the same problems, failed burns just about all the time.
I moved to Mitsubishi 24x with AZO and no failed burns.

Have you downloaded the patch from the Nero site so you can burn at
24x?

www.nero.com

If it doesn't have a brand name at the front in maybe a panasonic.
I've seen a few oem panasonics and they don't show the brand name on
the front.
