And see what happens if you don't completely fill the disc. I used to be able to fit 2 hours 10 minutes of material in SP mode onto a blank disc - now I try to limit it to no more than 2 hours 2 minutes - that final 8 minutes (which is being written to either the very inner or very outer edge, I forget which) seems to tip it over the edge and render the disc unusable.
Ideally you would take the machine apart to get up close and personal with the laser but a cleaning disk could well do the job just as well. Laser output will degrade over time as well, especially if you use it a lot so any gunge on the lens will have more effect as the laser ages.
yer i'll buy that though not too comfortable with the idea of pulling the machine apart for fear of doing more damage. i do have a disc cleaner which can be used & has been in the past . will give it a go. but any more good ideas will be great:)
