| 1188744 | 2011-03-24 02:17:00 | I have used asus and pioneer drives for several years without any failures. I have encountered problems with media though, some combinations of drive brand and blank DVD media brand just don't mix. |

| 1188746 | 2011-03-24 02:57:00 | Liteons have presented no issues for me over the last five or six years :) I get my media from www.blankcd.co.nz with Taiyo Yuden being the best |

| 1188747 | 2011-03-24 21:39:00 | at the risk of a minor hijack . . . . I used to burn a lot of DVD's and I used princo's for a long time as they were cheap and seemed to work fine . However when I go back to those disks now many of them are corrupted and won't read, they all worked fine immediately after they were burnt . When I discovered this I did some research into brands and reliability and settled on Verbatim . They were consistently in the top 3 at the time and available all over the place quite cheaply . (Taiyo Yuden do rate better but are only available online and cost more) . I did this a couple of years ago however and things change . Incidentally Verbatim are manufactured by Mitsubishi (or were 2 years ago at least) who also rate well and you can even find disks from both brands with the same media descriptor, amusingly though the Verabtim disks are cheaper . |
