I've discovered that my car is very sensitive to the type of DVDs I am burning and also to the brand.
Working
Samsung Pleomax 8x DVD-R - works most of the time
Not working
Samsung Pleomax 8x DVD+R - works at start, but after some time, it starts to throw some errors, then it cannot play the rest of the songs but neither those who were working at the beginning. At some point, one DVD remained inside and could not get it out until I stopped the car for a while.
What are you guys using?
PS If there's interest, I will centralize all answers.

I've only tried DVD-R and they've worked fine...
I just hope that collective experience will make it easy for all of us.

So no one's interested in this subject?
Additionally: there are just too many "brand names" but only a few "manufacturers" of media so unless people have a method of knowing who made their media (not its brand name) - you could use DVDInfoPro for example - the exercise has little merit especially as different drives have different tolerances.

People will be less interested if they have no problems.

I am interested in what is written on the DVD disk or box, so we all know what should work and what should not.
I am pointing out that what is written on the box is not enough. In fact many "box brands" are only available in very few territories.
On the other hand all MANUFACTURERS sell in all territories.
It is also known that sometimes the box name is the same but the manufacter and recording dye used changes - potentially presenting new compatabilty issues.
