Verbatim Media Code...

[eSkRo]

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-

I guess the 'value series' uses the same cheapo dyes that other manufacturers use... keep clear of them in future!

Hope they stay away from selling those in the EU.

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) ???

.

Only way to know how good media is with your burner is to do some scans.

EDIT BY ME:

------------------

It shouldn't affect your scans. It's mainly the max verify speed that can be lower than expected.

[eSkRo]

ok will post my Graph results once i have it! thanx!

I think Cynthia is referring to a disc quality scan (PIE/PIF) which is not the same thing as Graph data.

True.

[eSkRo]

aaaahhh!

 

So, i shall post the (PIE/PIF) Scan Result right?

[Cynthia]

Could be nice to see how good/bad they are.

[eSkRo]

Under 'Scan'.

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.
