Disk Not Empty

This spindle of disks is giving me this grief. Brand new disk just placed into drive for very first time. TDK 1-16x.

Maybe your drive doesn't support them?

 

The disc info certainly looks messed up and is missing stuff.

Guess they stamp their brand on various different disks, past 2 spindles were 100%, then this one the packaging and disks all look different, while the lable/branding is the same and they don't work. So TDK is unreliable...

I returned the defective TDK dvd-rs to the shop, found 1 with the old packaging and they work. Examined the two products, everything seems to be identical, appears to be the same disks in a with new packaging but the new ones must be different because they don't work.

It's the dye/MID of the disc that's important, not the brand name. So yeah, they probably just switched the product they stamped their name on.
