Are you burning ISO files or the Audio & Video folders using Nero. I'm burning ISO files using DVD Decrypter and I'm wondering if that's why your scans look a million times better than mu Verbatim scans.

OK I stepped back to the B7P9 FW from B7S9 and my burns are way way better almost like night & day with Verbatims.
