Thanks Stinky- that helped.
Imgburn was able to to burn the files, but I got thousands of failures during the verification step. I clicked long enough that it just kept going, logging each error as it went. It got held up at 90%, as every sector was having a problem at that point, and so I just cancelled the whole thing and ejected the disk. Funny thing, it played just fine on my PS3, which was fanastic!
Now....ESB and ROTJ....here I come
thanks again
Assuming you DL'd the complete and total file without interruption then it has to either be the disc media you're using or your drive. I would 1: Ensure your drive is running its newest firmware. 2: Try burning another fresh disc and see if it returns failed sectors, if it does then - 3: Try burning on a much lower speed. If all else fails you could disassemble the drive and clean its lens, but that can be a pain in the ass. Even though it returned an apparent shit load of errors, that might amount to only a handful of stutters here and there throughout the entire film - if it plays and those minor hiccups don't bother you then all's well that ends well.
My drive used to sometimes have trouble when burning BD's (occasionally fail while initially burning, or would return verification errors and I would notice hiccups while watching), until I switched to using Falcon Pro's - and I haven't had a single coaster or error since (but those are expensive - about 4 bucks per blank. Your TDK's, although I've never used 'em, run about the same but you pay a lot more for that additional layer on blank BDs.) For me it was the disc media I was using, it's likely the same problem on your end.
