If there are any updates, Software Update always catches them within 7 days, it's set to check automatically ... so no, I don't think there are, and there certainly haven't been any recently.

Oddly enough I've just tried another disc off the same spindle - has been used maybe 2 or 3 times - and it loaded up immediately. I'm now doing a full erase on it, and we'll see whether the drive likes it as much after that. If it's still ok then, I'll burn something on it, erase and burn again ...

I'm wondering if this might just be a dodgy batch of DVD+RWs?
