Hakan and I have very similar machines. I am able to burn DVDs on mine (I've been using those nifty DL - double layer - discs recently; wow, what a nice, hefty capacity!). The only time I have trouble burning a DVD is when there is copy protection on the disc (as expected).
    

Are these data disks (basically just copying files) or video, capable of being played in home DVD players?  How do you create them?  (I attended Alex's DVD lecture at Warpstock Europe, so if you're creating video DVDs I think I have the information - it's data DVDs that I need to create).

  
The DVDs which do not copy for me (no surprise) are video DVDs, not data. So, for instance, if I want to knock off a copy of one of the girls' DVDs so that it won't get so badly beaten up in the car (i.e., a copy for my own personal use, as allowed by US copyright law), I am unable to do so. RSJ shows a negative amount of required disk space, effectively making the copy operation impossible. Again, I am not surprised by this behavior whatsoever.
Hakan, I also use the Staples-branded discs (-R's and RW's), and they usually work fine for me under RSJ 6. From the System page in CD-Writer Control, my system reports:

MATSHITA "DVD-RAM UJ-842 " RB01 "MATSHITADVD-RAM UJ-842 " N/A cdatapi disabled RAW-3 MATSHITADVD-RAM_UJ-842__R
    

I have RSJ 6, but there isn't a System page under CD-Writer Control, only General / Cache / Recorder / Status / Info tabs, and none of those mention the drive - where did you find the information above?

  
In between Status and Info, I have a System tab.

From CONFIG.SYS:

DEVICE=C:\OS2\BOOT\JJSCDROM.DMD /V /FC+ /FX+ /FM+ /R:1 /W

[...]

BASEDEV=DANIATAP.FLT /EJ /A:1 /U:0 /TYPE:ZWL /RSJ

[...]

REM *** RSJ CD-Writer File System ***
BASEDEV=LOCKCDR.FLT
REM BASEDEV=RSJIDECD.FLT
DEVICE=J:\CDWFS\RSJSCSI.SYS
IFS=J:\CDWFS\CDWFS.IFS
RUN=J:\CDWFS\CDWFSD.EXE -p "C:/VAR/TEMP" -c80000 -b16384 -t2 -i3 -s0
REM *** RSJ CD-Writer File System ***

(I think those are all the pertinent lines.)
Cheers,

  
And to you, my friend.
