I have experienced the same problems that you are indicating above with some of the cheaper DVD-R media (Memorex, TDK, Samsung included). So recently I decided to buy some of the Apple boxed media(5 pcs per box, $24.95 per box). The thought being since they have a list of players compatible with their media/drive, it would perform better (since my player is on the list). And also they probably were less likely to change something in the media "dye" like some of the others. Pioneer is also and option but they are much more expensive ($9 is the cheapest I have found them) and I think they make the Apple media. So far I have had excellent results, no skipping, locking, or media errors. Just wanted to share.
