Possibly; but blank DVDs like blank CDs *are* blank.

No not a blank disk. Apparently I have failed to explain it where you would
be able to comprehend what I said. I'll try again.
1: I burn a disk.
2. The burn is successful.
3. The verification process fails.
4. I take the disk and play it in a dvd player and it plays fine.
are you with me so far???
My question is on the disk failing to verify. If I can play the disk on the
home dvd player, then it should verify ok. But it doesn't.
Oh, and by the way, please don't come back with something inane like check
your firmware, or update ide drivers, because I've already check that. duh.

Nope.
Clean the LED on your drive, using any of the various cleaning tools out
there. If that doesn't work, then replace the drive.

I buy a hundred or so DVDs a month. None I've bought so far have been
completely blank, they all have had format information so the OS and Apps
can recognize what they are. Where do you get your "blank" DVDs? ...and how
do you get them to work.

Your PC won't ignore errors, your DVD Player will.

Bad idea. Cleaning the LED on a DVD usually ends its life. The old "CD
Cleaning" discs are for CDs, not DVDs.

Look again.
They ARE blank.
No format information on them or even needed.
They write their own when you write the disk.
If you look closely at the active side of a CD or DVD, you can even SEE
the areas that are written, and those that are not.
Look at them under a microscope, if you want to see the exact details.
Unwritten CDs and DVDs are blank; I repeat: BLANK!
They'd be pretty much useless if they weren't.
I'm not quite sure how rewritable CDs and DVDs work when writing over a
given track.

They work for both. LOOK at their specifications.
Besides, it's either clean the crap off the Laser or throw the drive
away. Your choice.
