I have Pioneer DVR-107 8x DVD-RW/DVD+RW drive in my G4 desktop and the DVDs I burned work fine in the Pioneer drive, but all 3 of my TIPB 500 spit them out.
Any ideas

I used 2.4x dvd+rw and a Verbatim DVD -R
Both work on the G4 desktop and are rejected by all the PBs.

To answer my own question....
took 3 of my TiPB to local Apple Store. They all read the DVD-r that they burned.
The "Apple Genius" said that some DVD-R blanks work and some don't, since DVD-R hadn't come out when the TI 500 was released!
Apple's 4x didn't....
Verbatim 4x didn't....
Matrix DVD-R 4.7GB 1X-4X Bulk by shop4tech (matdvdr4xbrd/b) $0.69
WORKED!
Just in case someone else is having problems!
