Ive been experiencing quite a few error 84 (media write error) lately.

A job will start running and then I'll notice in the activity monitor that
the "KB per Second" number for some of the streams shows the same number
ie: 17804 at which point I know that those jobs are going to fail and I'll
end up with an error 84 for those streams. The job will then start again,
sometimes using the same media, sometimes a new media, but it will
generally succeed the second time.

Any ideas as to what is causing the first job to fail ?
