I am using a sony drive to burn images. So do you think that might be
the cause of the skipping on peoples dvd players? But they said it
played fine first time and then started skipping on the 2nd and 3rd time
they played the disc. That makes me feel like it's a disc issue more
than a burner issue.

Plextor, Pioneer, and NEC all make solid, good DVDRW drives. IMO,
Plextor 
doesn't warrant the price premium, but whatever. Nobody makes an
'excellent' 
DVDRW drive anymore, back like when Plextor made the absolute, bar-none
best 
CD-RW drives <16X.

But third party/community support is nil compared to both Pioneer and

Agreed, Lite-On DVDRW drives are crap. Sony simply sells rebadged
Lite-On 
units, so they are also crap.
