eSkRo Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Hi guys! Happy Holidays! been a while since i've logged-in Ok.. So i got myself some Verbs today! A spindle of 100 DVD's! I went to FuturShop and bought them as they seemed cheap ($18,99CAD)! I bought exactly these ones --> Verbatim 16x DVD-R 4,7GB (Taiwan) [MCC 03RG20] (click here for Online Page) Question #1 --> Taking the fact that im in canada, did i made a good deal for the price? Question #2 --> Also, Are those made in Taiwan any good? Question #3 --> ImgBurn detecs the media code as this one (see screenshot) Even DVDInfroPro detects it as that code (see screenshot) whats up with that? -Thanx-
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 I guess the 'value series' uses the same cheapo dyes that other manufacturers use... keep clear of them in future!
Cynthia Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Hope they stay away from selling those in the EU.
eSkRo Posted December 27, 2009 Author Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) hahah ok,,, at least i didnt pay them FULL PRICE! still an OK deal i guess,,,, for the price,,,, . . Should i have went with those instead --> Fujifilm 100-Pack 16X 4.7GB DVD-R Spindle ($16.99CAD) ??? . . Like are they any good? . . Or top 5 DVD Medias are? thanx Edited December 27, 2009 by eSkRo
Cynthia Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 Only way to know how good media is with your burner is to do some scans.

Ok thanx Cynthia.... im gonna burn a DVD Video and will post results here... hope i recall how to do so using DVDInfoPro... EDIT BY ME: ------------------ oh no,,,, i forgot i have deamon tools installed,,, thats gonna mess up my graph right?,, Edited December 27, 2009 by eSkRo
Cynthia Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 It shouldn't affect your scans. It's mainly the max verify speed that can be lower than expected.
eSkRo Posted December 27, 2009 Author Posted December 27, 2009 ok will post my Graph results once i have it! thanx!
jeff_nz Posted December 27, 2009 Posted December 27, 2009 I think Cynthia is referring to a disc quality scan (PIE/PIF) which is not the same thing as Graph data. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=2168
eSkRo Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 aaaahhh! So, i shall post the (PIE/PIF) Scan Result right?
Cynthia Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Could be nice to see how good/bad they are.
eSkRo Posted December 28, 2009 Author Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) uhm,, where's the pipo scanning option in dvdinfopro? Edited December 28, 2009 by eSkRo
dbminter Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 Man, that even Verbatim chooses CMC Magnetics stuns me. At least they offer a better alternative quality media. For now, anyway. Hopefully, they won't become another Optodisc for me where I stopped getting Optodisc media after they switched over to CMC's which wouldn't finish burning, etc.
