    Thanks! Yes you're totally correct about DVD + R holding more information! As it happened to me just recently myself trying to transfer some stuff that I have made previously from some DVD + R .iso  and transfer them onto a DVD - R. And Imgburn told me that there wasn't enough space. The Trisonic wholesale store is here in the city in another borough but it's not too far. By train I could probably stop by and check out those trisonic which I see they have in dvd minus r and maybe dvd plus r. If they code out to mcc 00 whatever and I could get a good buy on them I will. Although the verbatim just look neater and are more specific to my needs. Most of my data is in the MP4 format which I found out was the best way to go because I was having a lot of small issues here and there with MKV. So I had to transfer everything back to MP4. The rest of the stuff like my series DVDs, and TV series DVDs I make DVD video disc of in a smaller size format using some other software, and so yes some of it is DVD video. Tbh I feel like converting most of my stuff which is very good stuff anyway to DVD because that way I could just shoot it into any player, and not really have any issues whatsoever. But we're talkin a lot of video work here, so might be something that if I start to do I'm going to have to buy a lot of DVD blanks. Did you ever use  Trisonic DVD/CD blank? Mostly in the .99¢ stores. Who would think they're MCC stock!?

    Happy New Year!

    Okay so I'm going to need to get some more discs For this pretty huge project I have in front of me. What do you think of the DVD + R blanks today? Do you think I should play it safe and get DVD-R, or should I go DVD + R who some software people say are better made discs then the DVD-R? In your experience are +R better made? They seem to look better made when I compare them myself. Have we come so far that issues with +R are almost negligible? Even with book-setting? I have some Memorex DVD+R Lightscribe that code out to CMC MAG-M01-00, and Verbatim DVD+R that code out to MCC-004-00. These Verbatim even look better made, and have the Verbatim logo on top with lines on the bottom to write your disc info. I'm leaning towards these. The shiny Verbatim I purchased code out to CMC MAG. AM3. Prodisc makes Maxwell and are at a video shop near me. My old Sony DVD+R code out to RITEK-F16-01. They've held up over 10 years now, though I wouldn't pass them by the DVD+R MCC-004-00 Verbatim. Have you ever checked different discs from the same spindle and seen different MIDs? Thanks.

    P.S. Unbelievably so the Trisonic DVD-R coded out to MCC 03RG20! No wonder they sell them for about 3 for $2.00 or so. I'm going to look into the Trisonic, and decide between them and those DVD+R Verbatim. Just that the Trisonic don't have any space specifically for writing like the Verbatim.

    Believe me that I couldn't believe it myself when I saw it. What I'm going to do is I'm going to take screen snapshots when I catch it again okay. And it's either going to be that the same DVD had different ids with different programs or that there was mixed batches of disc in the same spindle. You really can't let any of these companies get by with anything these days and sometimes it's not even them. Let's say they sold some oversupply of something or some stash that they had of something and they gave it to somebody else to rebrand or whatever they'll just do whatever they want with it. All I know is that the disc involved one program had it as a ritek f-15 or whatever and the other one had it as a CMC mag. I'll check just to make sure and I'm going to post back with screenshots if it's possible. I think the program that put up a different ID was copy to DVD 4 the older one. I'm going to check again okay.

    That's that's what I was trying to tell you about that some programs will ID them as ritek, and other programs will ID the same disk as CMC mags. So I don't know if it's whether the program is not doing its job or whatever. Now I must say I just put in some more verbatims I just got rewritable DVD+R and there coding out as MCC - 004-00. The shiny ones that I purchased not so long ago are coming out to CMC MAG AM3. So yes it seems that some of the non-datalife series are being made by MCC. That's great, though even if we've come a long way I still rather be safe with DVD-R, as even today the +R can't be 100% trusted compatibility wise. I'm not going to lie though that those dvd plus r e rideables that I just mentioned look really really nice! You can see the deep purple ink that's used by MCC. Well they said that CMC might have got their act up a little bit by getting the ingredients or whatever from MCC though I don't know if that's completely true. I just found some Sony's from about 13 -14 years ago and they're still holding up with what's in them. And they code out as Sony straight up and down.

    Yes exactly what I'm saying! Now I don't know if it's the app that's reading the media ID for example imgburn, or some other app like dvdfab Etc, but yes even with image burn the same DVD I would put in would ID out with different names etc etc. For instance one will come out as a CMC mag whatever, and then one will come out as in rytec F 15, 16 whatever. I'm going to give it a second look and check just to make sure, though yes I think even the verbatim ones I bought were doing that. Excuse the late response I got caught up with the holidays and all this DVD project I have ahead of me.

    You actually might be even more right than anything, as I do notice these Verbs get touched up quickly via tiny dust etc... I think something is going on with their tag because some I seen say CMC MAG and some tag out as Ritek F 16 or whatever. Prodisc makes Maxwell and they were pretty good, even here at a mom and pop they have the white coated printable ones straight from Prodisc. I'm just afraid to use something else that my burner might not like. I'll have to take a risk with some. TBH I burnt some Fujis from a 5pack, and some Trisonic from a 3 pack and was surprised. I'm even surprised that the Trisonic have a non-ink look, and wondered how they manufacture them without ink? I'll put some of the above mentioned in and post their I'd tags. So far no coaster or bad burn from about 150 of these shiny printable Verbatims. They're $22 bucks a 50 pack with about $8 bucks shipping, so @$50 bucks here there not bad. I wonder when the shipping goes up? That's why I got 2 packs to try instead of one. I'll also get some JVCS see how they make out and brand out.

    @dbminter You were right. The Verbatims are CMC F3, and these are the shiny ones not the branded Life Series. You think it's true that CMC polished up their act, and are putting out good media? I haven't had any issues at all. Some are Ritek as I posted, and then some say CMC F3. I would have to experiment with a pack of Data Life Series and see what they brand out to.

    So what media is really good these days? Are the JVCs really CMC Mags?

    I bought these because I thought the branded ones from the Verbatim Store were like the branded from Best Buy.

    DVD-R 4.7GB 16X VX Shiny Silver 50pk Wrap

    DDDecent price at @$22.00 plus $8.95 shipping. They didn't raise the shipping when I added another 50pk. Fast shipping. Were there just now. Now if the branded from the Verbatim Store are not Life series as the Best Buy then I'll check them out. I have a nice burning project with some series. The Walking Dead 1-7, Batman Animated Series including Justice League, just to share a few. To kill time I burnt some Trisonic DVD-R and very surprised for .99cent store pick-up.

    CMC Pro Taiyo Yuden 16x DVD-R Silver Lacquer Media- 100 $37.95

    SuperMediaStore.

    Are these bad as well?

    I just want to backup my DVD collection on to some good blank media and I'm not going to need to be printing anything onto the DVD disc so I don't think I need any thing fancy except that it's good media. Which do you suggest? Thanks.

    Those Verbatim DVD-R 4.7GB 16x DataLifePlus, Shiny Silver 50pk Spindle is $28.00 at The Verbatim Store. Lil steep though quality.

    Yes Ritek has their hands in many other brands. They're nothing like those CMC Mags or memorex. Remember Maxell? Well the company that makes Maxwell is pro disc and they got them by me at a mom n pop shop nearby.

    I really don't know what happened to these burners of mine? I mean they were working okay and I burned a couple of DVDs to backup my video collection just fine. Then all of a sudden they decided not to work. I think Microsoft has their hand in a lot of this stuff you know. I think they just want to monopolize on their stuff like apple does.

    I want to help imgburn logs and guess what? Imagburn is not keeping the logs either. So something definitely wrong is going on. I can't even get the logs the logs are not there.

     

     

    Something's not working and it could be the blank media itself. I'm going to take back that batch of 100 disk that I bought at Best Buy and get my money back or get a pack a dvd minus R. At this point I'm very skeptical about verbatim, this never happened to me before at all. And I never never ever have problems with image burn with nothing except in the beginning when things were getting iron out and we had the upper and lower filter situation. That was about it though. I'll get back as soon as I do a couple of things. I'm transferring all my video files to another place in case I have to do a clean install. Thanks so my! I'll post back soon.

    Okay I found the Cure! First of all Windows 10 is very very very specific! If the name of your DVD drive in Windows 10 is CD-ROM it will not read a DVD for the life of it. So what you have to do is Click on file action scan for Hardware changes and also double click on the file name that way it could change it back to DVD+-ROM/CD-ROM. It's a combination of those things. I'm too tired right now I got to hit the sack. I'll get with you guys later.

    Solution!

    @LIGHTNING UK! Imgburn just recognizes it and tells you the make, model, firmware. It doesn't give any indication of a discs in the drive.

    @dbminter Yes though this is a DVD+-R/RAM and it was one of the best back when burning was the thing. Matter of fact got it through either here or at digital-digest.com. Windows 10 opens and closes it via right click and I've used both CDs snd DVD+-R blanks. There's much online about others having similar issues with other burners.

    Now that I'm here any suggestions on a Windows 10 compatible DVD+-R, CD-R burner? 

    One last thing it goes on and on when anything is put into it before it stops. I could see Windows show hints with a disc icon when it's reading.

    Lite-On, Asus, Sony Optiarc if they still make them? Thank you.

    Here's the solution after an all nighter and having a never quit gene. It's the one where you go into device manager and manually pick the updated driver it suggests. It's something like CD-ROM.

    my Pioneer is just as old and it has no problems whatsoever. Nothing showing up is not even reading movie DVD disc or anything like that. You think I can change something in the Bios make them both Masters or something like that?

    I think it's a driver situation and yes it has to do with it being just a bit old but not it because it's not functioning. It is considered a ram drive and RAM is basically obsolete. I'm not sure if it ever did work when I put a disc in when I first put it into my system because I didn't try it out you see it shows up on the PC and on imgburn and everything else. it just didn't work. my Pioneer is working just fine though. So I'm just going to buy a brand new DVD writer or two. Thanks though.

    Hello how's everyone doing? Been a while. I started backing up my dvd collection and everything' was fine until i decided t5o use my 2nd drive which is a Samsung as noted above. Why isn't it reading my brand new Verbatim DVD+R blank which in fact is a Ritek- F16-01. My Pioneer is just fine. I don't think it's because my Sammy is set as slave is it? Thanks. Btw no disc shows up in imgburn besides the RITEK. Even a normal DVD.
