The original poster is not attempting to play or even mount the DVD.

There are two cd/dvd-rw's in this box.

Sorry, the correct command is 'dd if=/dev/hde of=dvd.iso conv=noerror bs=2048'. Next time check the man pages to get an understanding what it is about to do.

If you have a utility called readcd, it has an option to disable the drive's error correction. It may not work with all drives.

If the disk plays in a standard DVD player, it should not be anything unusual. The name on the disk (Memorex in this case) has little to do with the manufacturer. Memorex DVDs are made by CMC, Richoh, Fuji, MBI, MCC, Princo, Prodisk, Ritek, Taiyo Yuden, TDK, and others. Each DVD has a media code that the drive must recognize, or it will refuse to use the disk.
Not all DVD recorders are created equal. This means each manufacture may or may not comply to DVD writing standards. The disc themselves are more different than you think. Each manufacture has different quality standards. xbitlabs has did a good review on the quality of DVD-R and DVD+R.

PC DVD drives don't have a problem with disks that are not finalized.
This is not true. For multisession disk, each session or track is finalized. If the session is not finalized, the drive will have problems reading it. Like what tekkieman said the disc have to be finalized in the drive that wrote the disc.

All what tekkieman is trying to say the media player such as other standalone players or software players will have problems.

I can now use k3b to make duplicates.

Thanks guys
