wxp, p3-933, 756 ram, no other programs running,

I'm using the dvd-rs from meritline with the purple die that were recommended,
but when I burn video files to them (divx, etc.), 90% of them don't work (that is, some
of the files work, but not most, and my computer locks up when trying to read the bad ones
for minutes at a time).

I've tried nero and the BHA software that came with it, all 'coasters'.

Already upgraded the firmware after the first one failed, is it just these dvd-rs, or the drive- it's brand spanking
new, I can return it and lose the %15 restock if it doesn't work.

tried prassi as well, ordered another brand of cheap dvds, same problem (one entire
dvd came out successful and about 80% of another on the different brand),
gonna rma it, can't use it if it won't back up data
