| 599631 | 2007-10-09 11:13:00 | Verbatim for me now... other discs do work, but if you compare burnt discs after a period of storage you can see a difference then again the error-correction mechanisms means cheaper brand discs are still quite readable even though the quality is not so good oh and make sure you store them properly too no matter how high quality the discs are..non of them will work if they're kinda..bent..(bad past experience..) |

| 599634 | 2007-10-09 15:45:00 | everything you didn't need to know blank dvd's ( . digitalfaq . com:80/media/dvdmedia . htm" target="_blank">www . digitalfaq . com:80) Verbatim Sony TDK all top rated . Princo and SKC bad . Imation questionable . the media brand means nothing . Verbatim became infamous in 2002 by switching from high-quality MCC ID media to the inferior CMC ID media, although they quickly returned to using MCC . It is the media ID that is important, as it reveals the disc manufacturer . Unfortunately, this is not written on packaging or anywhere else . Companies want consumers to be oblivious to this sort of behind-the-scenes information . To learn the media ID code, a blank disc must be put into a computer DVD burner drive and the ID read by a special utility . Some burning software reads the code by default (DVD Decrypter, for example, in ISO write mode) . There are also a handful of freeware or trialware tools available |

| 599635 | 2007-10-09 17:12:00 | Kinda got put off Verbatim. Was given a couple as a donation, one or both ended up as coasters TDK +R is my medium of choice now. On third spindle and don't recall any having become a coaster. Sony aren't too bad either |
