| 371779 | 2005-07-13 05:12:00 | I just read the DVD writer roundup at Anandtech.com and it seems that the Pioneer DVR-109 produces a massive amount of errors when writing to Verbatim 16X DVD+R media. I am concerned because I use this media quite a lot for archival purposes. Should I be worried at all? Personally I haven't seemed to have encountered any problems with this media but am worried about the long term effects of using the verbatim discs. |

| 371782 | 2005-07-13 05:47:00 | The test was quite recent, they used the 1.55 firmware with the pioneer drive. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with this drive and Verbatim 16X DVD+Rs (MCC004). | jeffreyyan (719) | ||
| 371783 | 2005-07-13 05:54:00 | Dunno . Dont have a 109 . Only a 106 on the other PC, and an Asus DL DVD burner on this . I usually use Laser DVD blanks . Cheap . BUT I've never had a prob with them . But they're not 16x either . Only 4x -R . |
