yeah all u have to do is make sure there are no really large spots of dust/fluff on it. tiny ones dont matter. ive burnt games and movies with some tiny bits here and there but it doesnt seem to affect it. however, try not to get any dust on ur DVD-R (although sometimes that isnt possible when the freshy opened disc contains some!).
Ive gotten a huge blob once on a cdr. it was a verbatim metal azo which was real dark blue and u could see the spot from a mile away! when i played it everything was fine until i got to one FMV where it went spastic and this distortion that had all the colours of a rainbow took half the picture for about 1.5 seconds. It was the spot that did this no doubt about it. its like unburned in that area.
so watch out for big peices on unburned discs.
