Kenadjian Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 In my opinion, Verbs with MCC dye are the best out there. But it all depends what your drive likes I suppose.
cornholio7 Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 i would still place TYG02 above verbatim dvd5 media
chewy Posted June 28, 2006 Posted June 28, 2006 know where anybody can find a misplaced pallet of tyg01's?
lfcrule1972 Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 Like corny I think the TYG02's have the edge on my NEC's and BenQ but wouldn't mind purchasing either for my DVDs...
chewy Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 MID: TYG02 Silver Thermal #223 james over at cdfreaks is getting consistent pif total below 40 with this batch, OMG
volvofl10 Posted June 29, 2006 Posted June 29, 2006 gotta be honest , i stuck with TYG02 , even when TYG03 came out , cant fault them
Grain Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 know where anybody can find a misplaced pallet of tyg01's? I have about 15 non-hub printable TYG01's left, and have quit using them and started hording them ever since my online media shop quite getting them in. My favorites are definately TYG02's though, extremely consistent.
Grain Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 I find it hard to believe that they still think PVC is still top drawer even though it's been discontinued for 3 years. I'm sure it was the shit back in the 1-2.4X days, but has it even been tested on new drives to any extent? Don't recommend anything that isn't available anymore IMO. What will I have to drink? How about a New Coke LOL
Movie Junkie Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Considering that less then .5% (not a typo) of my many burns with both Verbatim DVD-R 8x and DVD+R DL 2.4x discs have had problems I personally would consider them "Top of the Heap".
Grain Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 I've never had good luck with TDK disc's, todays burn is no better. Not sure why digitalfaq likes them.
lfcrule1972 Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=685 The scratch proof variety were ok for me in the tests above but nothing that special....
blutach Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 (edited) The Taiyos are pretty pricey out this a way. I'd use them for real important stuff like data backup. The Verbs suit me to a T for DVD Vid. And, of course, I only use Verbs for DL. Warning: If you use Nero, the media won't matter - Ner0 will find a way to fuck it up for you. But, unless yer a spy, what you doing here if you like Ner0?

lfcrule1972 Posted July 12, 2006 Posted July 12, 2006 There was me thinking you were a fan of Nero blu !!

polopony Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I was just visiting OFFICE DEPOT and I saw Verbs on sale but on the side it made reference to AZO Dye can it be that Verbatim is going to abandon MCC and cheap out like everyone else, anybody know anything
A_T Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I was just visiting OFFICE DEPOT and I saw Verbs on sale but on the side it made reference to AZO Dye can it be that Verbatim is going to abandon MCC and cheap out like everyone else, anybody know anything I have Verbatim discs made by MCC and Taiyo Yuden that declare themselves "AZO+" - I don't think it it any way means they are lower quality.
polopony Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 any scans available? I would really like to know if these are excellent blanks because Office Depot has spindles of 100 for $23 an unbelievable price
A_T Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 any scans available? I would really like to know if these are excellent blanks because Office Depot has spindles of 100 for $23 an unbelievable price Below is a scan of a recent burn of a Verbatim "AZO+" 16x DVD+R Printable. They are excellent Made in Taiwan discs and carry the MCC 004 media code. If you are looking at 16x DVD+Rs then 100 for $23 looks an excellent price. However if they are called "Pearl White" they are using CMC Magnetics dye which is only average. Also make sure they say "Made in Taiwan" on the packaging. If they are "Made in India" they will also not be as good.

polopony Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 Thanks all I'm off to ODepot to pick up 100 cant pass up the price
blutach Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 I use them (Advanced AZO) but only 8x (MCC-003) and they are terrific. Here they are A$0.70 per blank, so that's a great price. Regards
