silkshadow Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) 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!

silkshadow Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) I 18:32:20 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: CMC MAG-D01-00) (Speeds: 2.4x) 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.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Does the packaging have anything written on it? Can you get a picture of that too please if it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkshadow Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Does the packaging have anything written on it? Can you get a picture of that too please if it does. 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.

spinningwheel Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Someone isn't exactly in the know about the discs, here's a little reading material for you to share with the store clerk: http://www.google.com/search?q=CMC+MAG&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=&oe= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkshadow Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 (edited) 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!

spinningwheel Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Read post # 2 again. You do not have Verbatim DataLifePlus discs, you probably bought their 'value line' or 'budget line' media, or they pawned it off on you as the good stuff. I don't know CDr King or how they do business, but I would suggest buying off of the net and avoiding anyone who sells you media one piece at a time from open packaging...ever heard of the saying...buyer beware?
