JuJuBean Posted September 22, 2010 Share Posted September 22, 2010 (edited) I have been on a quest to find the perfect CD-R. At first I tried Verbatims, but reading one of Lighting UK's older posts, he claimed that Verbatim CD-Rs are garbage (although their DVDs are still good). Instead, he mentioned Taiyo Yuden CD-Rs are much better. Having said that, are these genuine Taiyo Yudens? I purchased them from a store claiming they sell genuine Taiyo Yuden and also have a guide showing you how to spot fakes. Purchasing CD-Rs, and then having to return them after reading these forums is getting to my head. I've attached a print screen of Nero Info Tool, hoping that this will assist the investigation. Also: The CD-rs have a frosted circle hub, and the serial in one of the hubs reads: EF059B0617980 The serial in the dye area is extremely tiny and reads: 80 PG3174 Thanks guys!

dbminter Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Well, the manufacturer field says Taiyo Yuden, which genuine TY's do. But, of course, that field can always be faked since it's just a simple field where they can put any text they desire. So, I guess I'm not much help. But, my Taiyo Yuden CD-R's say that and they appear to be good. Well, they finish burning and they do play back, anyway. I personally felt the sting of Verbatim CD-R's. They are CMC Magnetics, the bottom of the barrel stuff. I felt personally betrayed. They make such good DVD-R and DVD+R DL media, I just thought they'd make good CD-R's, too. Epic FAIL! So, I returned them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
