Apparently, Victor is having the same problem. You may want to reply and let him know. I doubt the both of you have a bad drive, though it is possible. Looks like contacting Sony for support is going to be the best option.

Are you putting the CD/DVD in the same drive, or in a different drive?
I have been doing quite a bit of work on a Sony DRU-120. sometimes the software doesn't acknowledge the newer technology, and other times it is the drive I am trying to play the disks I have made on, the older drives don't recognize the +R/RW disks.
I know that the DRU-500 is supposed to have the ability to work both technologies ( -R/RW & +R/RW ). But, since I have not actually worked with that certain drive yet, I wonder if there is some kind of toggle to use somewhere to burn either as -R/RW OR as +R/RW.
Also, which edition of Roxio are you using? I do know that I have been having alot of problems with Easy CD Creator 5 Platinum and the DVD burner, even with ALL the possible updates/upgrades I can get my hands on.
I switched to Nero 5.5.9 Burning ROM software AND I have also used Roxio's WinOnCD 5.03 and NTI CD Maker 6.0 without any problems ( or at least as many problems as Easy CD Creator ). I prefer Nero overall, it is very easy to use.
I have noticed that certain DVD players will play the disks I make and others won't recognize them at all. I would try the disks in different players ( if you have access to any ) before throwing them away ( as a friend of mine has been doing, LOL ).
I have 2 APEX DVD Players, one is an older model than the other. The DVD's I burn will only play on the newer model ( funny thing is I bought the older model almost a year after I bought the other one, and didn't know it was older until I started having trouble playing DVD's I was making ).
Good Luck
Laterzzz,
Jim

Hi,
Well here is the new news...I got one DVD to work out the four I burned. The that works is easy. Just pop it in there and it knows whats going on. The other three, its comes up with error messages in the orginal burner itself and with other DVD players that it can't read them. Here is the interesting thing though, I can go into Roxio and then go to disc information and I can see that there is a track on there. But if you try to read that track it comes up with an error. Any ideas?
