I haven't had a chance to compare yet (on my 403), but I'm "hoping" that the Memorex -RWs are the cause of the problems I'm having with some of my recent recordings. It was only the second time (after a reformat) I used these discs, and 2 out of 5 had skipping/corruption issues. I'm guessing one of these 2 may be relevant to some in-motion (i.e. not so stable) filming, but I'm rather annoyed that I had to become a master of some recovery software and techniques to get back the footage. (I'm planning to write up another post for that to provide some tips to others after I tried those tips myself on the corrupted VR-mode disc.).

The reason I said, I was "hoping" it's the media, is because otherwise, it would mean:
- either the DVD403 is very sensitive to recording conditions/vibrations
- or, my particular unit has problems!
So, I'm blaming the media for now. I did get some Sony, and even some TDK discs recently, though, but haven't recorded on them much yet. We'll see...
