| 598667 | 2007-10-08 06:33:00 | LG writer. Verbatim DVD+R no problems. Always close them, always use max speed, not one problem ever. Have also used Warehouse CDs no problems. In the past I have used HP CDR 2x speed via LPT port, that not good but the CDs I made then is still working now. Had coasters thou, if no coaters every file worked. |

| 598668 | 2007-10-08 20:26:00 | JJJJJ: Did you say you had a BTC drive? BTC's are junk drives, and in some instances, can't even read discs they have written themselves, as you have discovered. The discs can still be read sometimes in other dvd drives though. I have an NEC 4551 and use Verbatim DVD+R 8x discs, no problems. My NEC drive is quite rare, but other good drives are Pioneer DVR112 and BenQ DW1800/1810 drives. Both of those with Verbatim DVD+R 8x/16x discs will have excellent burn quality. You can find the pioneer for less than $50, while the Benq can be found for under $70. |

| 598671 | 2007-10-08 20:52:00 | Same with the TDK CD-Rs I had that died, couldn't be read in ANY drive but I had kept them in their cases, in a closed CD cabinet | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 598672 | 2007-10-08 21:01:00 | Would someone reccomend a good,good GOOD, dvd read , write drive. I've got a BTC 48R/48W/24RW. Internal IDE. It's slow and sounds like a 40 year old deisel engine. Thanks, LG Super Multi www.newegg.com however, for older, more beat-up discs, it doesn't read off it very well, you'll need more of a CD / DVD-ROM only for it to properly read them excellent for burning DVD's of all kinds though |
