If all attempts at using JVC blanks fail, then it's just the blanks that 
dont work. There is no guarantee that any batch of blanks will work 
flawlessly with any chain of components, software or otherwise.

Before you stock up on blanks, buy a few ones and test them, then buy as 
many copies you need of what works.

Can you try in a DVD player somewhere else? Workplace, school, friend, 
neighbour, library? If you want to sell something, you need to test playback 
compability anyway. Making it work in your player only is not sufficient 
testing, as people have all sorts of players, and like yours, they can be 
tricky sometimes.

Other things you can do:

* Burn at a different speed
* Burn with another software
* Create an ISO from the source (dont copy files to harddrive first) and 
burn the image
* Extract the source files with another software

Folder2ISO is available from this Dutch page, but just click the Download 
button and off you go;
