Hey thanks for the info on Memorex... that's kinda what I though. Although I always lumped verbatim in that group too. Good to know they are better quality now. I may give it one more shot on the lowest burn setting and yes I believe imgburn defaulted to udf 2.5 from the logs I saw.
I have a Sony BDP-s360 but will have a buddy try this disc on his PS3 - maybe it's my player who knows. I saw earlier in the thread that some with this player had to use the converted 23.79 (?) fps version instead of the 24 fps...
thx again.
