What do you mean by burning multiple copies? How are you doing that? Are burning from folder set or an iso image file? (Best method for multiple copies)

So some burns are successful? That shows that the VS program is working correctly.
What DVD make are you using? Some such as Memorexc, Maxell, store brands are unreliable.

Try using some quality DVDs such as Verbatim or Tayo Yuden.

Have you tried using a different program to burn the folder sets such as ImgBurn?

I assume that the folder sets all play properly using a software video player such as VLC?

Have you tried using a different program to burn the folder sets such as ImgBurn? NO

I assume that the folder sets all play properly using a software video player such as VLC? YES

So there is nothing wrong with VS program in creating the video if the video plays correctly. You also stated that some burns were fine which means that the software works correctly. So that leaves the media, your burner or some compabitibilty problem between your burner and the media.

That's what I thought-but wanted to ask if any problems with VS7.
Thanks for your help
