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).

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 know that  different models (and indeed, model runs) may use drives of 
different manufacturers with varying firmware  revisions. How does this 
compare to yours?
