Thanx for the thoughts -- think it is resolved.

Disks play on 3 out of 6 of my dvd players.

Blanks from near the top of a stack of TYGO3 Taiyo YUden 16 x dvd-r's

Other disks I burned yesterday had same issue.

Using toast to copy the original burned disk or to burn a disk image 
exported from DVD SP using build did not work at first. Verification 
was OK.

Then I tossed in a CDR lens cleaner and reburned OK. So Stuart's 
guess of a dying burner was closest to the truth.

UGH -- what a time sink.
