Are you saying its not a verbatim? That its been faked? What evidence can you give me, something good enough to take to the police? That is serious enough that I am going to make a bunch of hush money off of this!! CDr king faking disks. They will pay me a lot to keep quiet. Please give me evidence to use. I've brunt 4 more coasters but got a successful burn of one disk now. Guess I should stop burning, as these disks are worth their weight in gold as evidence. Please post back as soon as possible!

I am sorry, we don't buy blank media by the box here. Its by the piece. If it helps, these were PHP120 per piece, about US$3. The 25 piece spindles I am using cost me PHP15 each and one label says BenQ and the other says HP . The store I got it from is very reliable though, they have been in business for a long time with close to a 100 branches all over the city and their name is actually CDR King . They started way back as a few small kiosks in malls selling only blank media and empty media cases . Verbatims (all types) are more expensive than other brands because, they say, it comes from Singapore.

That doesn't look like Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DL blanks I don't live in the US, so model numbers might not mean anything. Here is a phonecam pic of the DVDs. Edit: Hmm, can't attach it. Photobucket to the rescue: Edit2: That's a little big, smaller: Big image: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/silkshadow/IMAG0021.jpg BTW, the store confirmed to me that these disks are not only made in Singapore but physically from Singapore itself.

So I got a new Wii and I am trying to burn Wii games. Yesterday I burned a bunch of Wii games (about 30 normal 4.7 disk images) and they all burned and work great. Today I am trying to tackle burning some dual layer games. I've tried Super smash bros, new super mario and metroid today. So far I've got about US$40 worth of coasters, so I stopped and am posting here for some help . It all seems to go well till about 46% which is apparently when the next layer is being burnt. I've got a fast quad core CPU running Windows 7 x64. My drive is a Samsung SH-s203n, updated to SB02 firmware. I am technically inclined but don't burn much (I am a hard drive freak) and have never burned a DL disc before. As such I did my homework today on what are the things I need to do before burning: So as far as the DL burning checklist: 1) Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x - check 2) Newest firmware - check 3) Optical disk cleaner - check 4) Drive plugged into sata port which is set in bios for ide - check This is the last log: I 18:31:33 ImgBurn Version 2.5.0.0 started!
