Mich_v_g Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Okay, So i've finally decided to cave and buy some taiyo yuden. I have found a great website with decent prices and they give the media id for all their discs. The only questions I have now is... does it matter if I get dvd+r or dvd-r? the -r are less expensive so i like that factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianymaty Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Depends on what are you plan to archive on them. For DVD Video use DVD-R for more compatibility with cheap or older DVD players and a little more space than DVD+R For Data use DVD+R for a better defect management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mich_v_g Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 (edited) oh one more question actually.... tyg02 is the 8x right? That means i can burn as quickly? is there much differnce between those and the tyg03 16x other than the speed they can burn at? Reason i'm asking is i burn on two different burners. one newer than the other. Currently i have tdk 16x discs that i burn at 8x on the newer one and 2.4x on the old one. if i burn any faster than that with the old one it starts skipping (not sure if it's the burner or just the disc) Here's my info for my two burners: Old one: I 09:37:21 ImgBurn Version 2.5.1.0 started!
