One time i was banging loudly and i ejected some kids in bits and pieces. But I hadn't considered it a bad thing, your DVDR probably had some pent up sexual frustrations.

My mate broke my Handsome Boy Modeling School CD a few years ago, he swore blind that the player just made a funny noise, then a clunk, and when he ejected the disc it had split in half.

I always thought that he just stood on it and didn't want to say so.

cheap dvdr's. stay away from them. there's loads of info on this. the plastics they use for these low cost dvdr's are composites with sand and other shit additives added to them to reduce the manufacturing cost. in some cases the lazer is literally melting straight through the dvdrs while they're spinning in your drive. that's why when they come apart inside you hear the bang.

at work we bought a spindle of 100 cheapo dvdrs off those ebay sites, and never again. out of the first 10, 5 split apart during the writing stage.

waste.

Yup, play it safe, always buy from your reputable local pound shop.

yup- happens alot. i work in a pc repair call centre. i think its to do with the speed in which they spin the disks these days. also to do with quality of disks.
