How is your friend burning the DVDRs? Are they + or -? Is he using UDF or ISO? What is your OS? | |

Also try burning slower. I had a DVD-ROM that could read +R disks, but it had trouble reading the ones I burned at 8x. | |

It would be helpful to know what model DVD-ROM you have and what model DVD burner and software your friend is using to burn.
Is there so much data you can't fit onto a CD-R? | |

Are you sure he is not using a packet writing program, such as InCD, Drag to disc or Sonic DLA? | |
