G'day John. Personally I use ink jet printable Verbatim disks, (CD-R, DVD-R, DL-DVD), and very, very rarely get a burn that doesn't verify correctly, and the last one I had that didn't verify was because it had a fingerprint (mine) on it. Stick on labels should be avoided as well, especially in iMacs where the drives run hot, and labels might come unstuck. I've tried TDK and they're junk. What brand are you using?
