2 Hour Dvd Recording Typically Freeze Up, 3 And 6 Hour Ones Much Better

I have a Magnavox ZV450MW8A.  At least half of the recordings I make at 2 hour speed freeze at some point.  The best speeds, though not perfect, are 3 or 6 hours.  The others so so.  I use Verbatim RW and R 2x.  The 4x give me disc error messages. Is is th disc type?  Is it the speed?  Somewhat frustrating because 2 hour play is the most common one I use and I am tossing out over half the discs. NOTE:  I test these by ff on my computer.  SOMETIMES, the computer sticks/freezes, but playback on on DVD machine does not.  Other times, it freezes/skips on all players.
