I've had issues with blank DVD's before - sometimes they can't be read, and OS X just kicks it out, like you mentioned. This didn't happen when I was backing up my iTunes library though, thankfully.
I don't know why this happens, because the DVD is straight out of the package - brand new.

Too bad iTunes won't restore the music on the backup discs.
I have iTunes 7, and I backed up to DVDs. In Windows Explorer, I can see the songs in the folders, but iTunes won't import them back into iTunes.
Its ridiculous.

Paul, you're just choosing File > Add to Library? It seems iTunes should be able to load songs from any connected media or disk. I wonder why it is having trouble with DVD's...

I'm having the same problem. It looks like a lot of people are having this problem with iTunes 7. I Haven't found a solution yet.

My problem with i-Tunes backup is that it is only looking at my CDRW drive and won't look at my DVD RW drive - I can't seem to point it ot the correct one - any ideas

David, try going into preferences, advanced and selecting your second (DVDRW) drive.

iTunes 7 new menu option, Back Up to Disc, works really well.

I am having a major problem backing up my itunes. iTunes won't continue burning the backup disks after the first disk is done. It prompts me to put in another disk, but after it says it's checking media... it just kicks the blank disk and I am dead in the water. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I am using top end Memorex 8.5 gig DL DVD disks and I'm ready to pull my hair out when I waste a perfectly good disk after the burn stops with one disk.
