  1. fancy going thru all the pain and trauma of losing your face in a nasty way, then waking up in hospital with a Doctor hovering over you explaining what happened, then showing you a mirror and finding out the donor's face is even more ugly than you was before :lol: .

  2. All kidding aside, with all the info on various forums that is available there really is no excuse anymore (other than a gross manufacturing defect) to have a crummy burn...just no excuse.

     

    your right , there is so much info available now that no one should be getting bad burns anymore. its not as if we are in the infancy of burning dvds anymore.

    of coarse ,every now and then someone will have a problem due to faulty media or a faulty burner, but that can soon be figured out and rectyfied from the log file in ImgBurn and/or a question or two in here :thumbup:

  3. You totally missed my point.

     

    and you didnt read my post very well and missed a few points ;) ( in bold below)

    let me simplify this

     

    its all about the individuals "Combination" as to whats good and whats bad with dvd's

    everybodys set up is differant .

    the combination consists of "Your" writer , "Your" standalone player and "Your" media.

     

    what works for some , doesnt always work for others .

    edit..........................

    that doesnt garranty it will work for you on your "Combination" or "set up",

    edit............................

    what doesnt work for some works for others. so you can only use peoples opinions as a guide

     

    anyway , who actually said to throw the memorex away ??

  4. let me simplify this

     

    its all about the individuals "Combination" as to whats good and whats bad with dvd's

    everybodys set up is differant .

    the combination consists of "Your" writer , "Your" standalone player and "Your" media.

     

    what works for some , doesnt always work for others . this is why the log for ImgBurn is so detailed, it helps us to help you figure out the problem when your disc doesnt work in your player

    there is no such thing as the "Best" burner , wether its an NEC, LG, BENQ or whatever. they are all much of a muchness . burners are divided up onto brand names and non brand names , thats all .

    a Plextor is possibly the only exception , but again, you will usually pay more for the pleasure of owning one .

     

    there is no such thing as the "Best " standalone player either . as long as it can play both -R and +R then it is doing its job, obviously if its RAM capable as well and you have a dvd recorder that can use RAM discs, then thats a bonus , likewise if its a divx/mp3 player , thats better as well

     

    there is no such thing as the "Best" media . there IS good and bad out there , from cheap and cheerfull to the mutz nutz stuff . Taiyo Yuden does appear to be the exception here though , mainly because its more compatable with differant burners and differant players than any other media. HOWEVER , that doesnt garranty it will work for you on your "Combination" or "set up", again verbatim is high up in the list, but that wont play on any of 3 panasonic players :angry:

     

    then your into the communication between manufacturers. a better drive is one that has more firmware updates than others, as this will allow you to use the latest media that becomes available , and if you can flash the firmware on your player, likewise, this will let it handle the latest media as and when it becomes available

     

    regarding media , as mentioned , taiyo Yuden is the most compatable dv5/single layer amongst differant players and burners, and is usually a safe bet , but members have bought the cheapest crap available, and they swear by it :o ( thats doesnt mean the dye on it wont fade within 6 months though :lol: )

     

    again on media, Verbatim is consistenly mentioned both here and in a previous forum as being the most stable Dual Layer media . this being reported from peoples experiences with DL stuff ( right from the days when it was ?7/8 a disc !!) . ridisc/ritek/ridata being named several times as being very poor regarding burn failures

     

    we can only say what has been mentioned by people testing differant things and combinations over the time as to whats good or bad which is good or bad , but as i said earlier, what doesnt work for some works for others. so you can only use peoples opinions as a guide

  5. PI in the 900's and you call that successful?!

     

    =))

     

    but telling someone to throw out a set of $30 DL discs when in fact they can be utilized is very poor advice imho.

     

    at this point i just thought id mention that LIGHTNING_UK is the author of this program ;) somehow i have a feeling he knows what he's on about :thumbup:

     

    from testing ourselves, and feedback in here ,only verbatim have been consistent as reliable DL media so far ( same overall opinion in a previous forum we all frequented that had over 2 hundred k members ) , Nothing else was capable of giving decent burns time after time like the verbs . if the maxell work for you, then great :thumbup: but in general they have proven to be pretty low down in the quality levels for dual layer discs

  6. silly question, but have you played VCD's on the 2 players before, and are you satisfied that the bin file contains VCD compliant structured files ? ie the 4 folders for vcd or is the bin just contain a video/audio file like an avi or an mpg

  7. Yes, Corny is a decent sort of chappie, why only the other day i was telling him i hadent had sex for a few days, he was so helpfull ,. he was bending over backwards to try and help me :w00t:
