Pioneer A07 problems

[simonwood]

I've noticed on the dvd's I've backed up recently that towards the end the dvd will freeze up. This happens on my dvd player hooked to my tv, my dvd drive on the computer, and my portable dvd player.

I've had it for a while and I've backed up many dvds as well as burned many cd-r's and dvd's for data. Do you think it's wearing out or is there another problem. I have the latest firmware on it, also.

Thanks

*edit: Also, if this helps, I only use Ridata and Ritek dvd-r's that I get from newegg.com. I used Nero, DVD Shrink and DVDDecrypter for my burning software.
