Yes, you are right, I don't believe in it either, just kidding 😄

If CMC changed the manufacturing process is not the same MID, by the way CMC is not the same as MCC. In my case, I'm not concerned about playback compatibility, technology evolves and luckily I never had such problems. From my point of view I prefer DVD+R, more trustable and longer life by design, unless quality media is a crap. There is an old article that explains it, not online anymore, but I kept a PDF copy, see it attached in this post. Regards Why DVD+R(W) is superior to DVD-R(W) - Myce.com.pdf

I suggest you Verbatim DVD+R (MCC004 MID), very good quality, the one that you use is a 2nd class blank DVD media. http://www.digitalfaq.com/reviews/dvd-media.htm Aside from that, DVD+R technology is better than DVD-R. Regards

DVD+R(W) is superior to DVD-R(W) -> https://www.myce.com/article/why-dvdrw-is-superior-to-dvd-rw-203/ As far as I remember DVD-R has 8 MB more than DVD+R, it's been useful for me a couple of times. Regards

Are you burning at max speed? Try a lower one . . . Regards

Surely enclosures are ok Did you have a look to the BIOS settings?, maybe something is different now. Did you try to boot on safe mode and burn then? (use a rewritable disc) Regards

The enclosure power supply must have 12V for sure, but which is its maximum amperage?. The Pioneer 2209 needs 12V to operate, but same question, which amperage does it need?. You can find that info in the labels of each one (output). Which is the brand and model of the enclosure? is it UASP capable? and your system? Regards

Mitsubishi is the manufacturer also of Mediarange (MR508) and has same MID that one of pointed Verbatim, quality differs a lot by the way, these Mediarange discs are crap and Verbatim are good. Kind regards

Usually people only talk about the brand, but I think it's important to take into account that same brand can use differente manufacturers. BRAND: Verbatim Datalife MANUFACTURER: CMC Magnetics Corp EAN: 0023942438113 MID: CMCMAG-BA5-000 CAPACITY: 25 GB SPINDLE: 25 discs CMC seems to have done a good job in these discs, high quality from my experience. And as you already know CMC had a very bad reputation in DVDs. BRAND: Verbatim MANUFACTURER: Mitsubishi Kagaku Media EAN: 023942437420 MID: VERBAT-IMe-000 CAPACITY: 25 GB SPINDLE: 10 discs Very high quality, possibly even better than Verbatim Datalife because the price. BRAND: Mediarange (MR508) MANUFACTURER: Mitsubishi Kagaku Media EAN: 4260057128980 MID: VERBAT-IMf-000 CAPACITY: 50 GB SPINDLE: 25 discs Crap media despite the manufacturer is Mitsubishi Kagaku Media, it's necessary to burn it at 2X always, and even at that speed is not guaranteed that you get a coaster. Lot of uncorrectable errors after starting to verify second layer if you burn it at more than 2X, always. BRAND: Verbatim MANUFACTURER: Mitsubishi Kagaku Media EAN/UPC: VBR260YP20SV1 MID: VERBAT-IMf-000 (same MID that Mediarange MR508) CAPACITY: 50 GB SPINDLE: 20 discs Great quality, I think one of them failed, I'm not sure. BRAND: Verbatim MANUFACTURER: Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. Ltd. EAN/UPC: VBR260YP50V1 MID: MEI-T02-001 CAPACITY: 50 GB SPINDLE: 50 discs Superb quality as far as I know. BRAND: Primeon MANUFACTURER: RITEK EAN: 4260027613119 4260027613119 4260027613119 4260027613119 4260027613119 4260027613119 4260027613119 4260027613119 MID: RITEK-DR3-000 CAPACITY: 50 GB SPINDLE: 10 discs Seems to be a very good quality aswell, 8 discs burnt, no coasters, at 2X and 4X. I'm thinking to switch from Verbatim (the ones made by Matsushita) to Primeon (made by Ritek) because at same price I can get one Primeon spindle more, all the discs I've pointed are HTL made. I read this thread -> https://club.myce.com/t/ritek-bd-r-dl/306005/16 But I don't understand the pictures, the more 'equalized' is the graph better quality has the media?. So Primeon RITEK-DR3-000 is a quality media or not?. Kind regards

I've burnt several RITEK-DR3-000 (Primeon brand) with my Pioneer 209DBK and always is succesful, at 2x and 4X, I'm wondering if stay with Verbatim, a bit more expensive or switch to Primeon, I would like a common sense answer if it's possible Btw he is burning at max speed, 8X, try 2X or 4X instead, surely it will be fine this time. Kind regards

Try to burn it at 4X instead of 8X Kind regards

I like this article, despite it's a bit outdated and I don't share some pointed thoughts, on the other hand it contains very interesting links with info I didn't know and commentaries of people sharing their experiences. http://cdm.link/2017/02/a-generation-of-cds-is-already-rotting-and-dying/ Kind regards

Yes, I think you are right I supposed a firmware update could solve the problem after reading this thread: http://www.dvdadvdr.com/forums/showthread.php?t=69854 Note for the original poster: Any data in the disc after the burn process is finished? Kind regards
