I am using Verbatim DVD+R discs. I  have been  told that these are the best. I have not had problems with these in the past. I do not know why Image Burn is identifying these as CMC MAG media.

Posted

Probably because you bought them in a brick and mortar store?  If so, even though they're Verbatims, they're cheap ass CMC MAG media :horse:  You'll want DataLife Plus media, but you can only get that online.  If you got just Life series Verbatims in a store or online, they're junk.  So, Verbatim is the best choice, but you have to get the right Verbatims  Yes, even Verbatim mixes their quality releases with junk CMC media to squeeze an extra buck out of their customers.

 

 

Well, if you've used them before in the past, maybe they weren't always CMC MAGs.  Companies are known to change their manufacturers from quality to cheap CMC.  I put Optodisc on my shit list because after a run of high quality discs they produced, they switched to CMC MAG and 50% of their discs failed.

 

 

If you can find one of these Verbatim DVD+R's you have successfully burned in the past, load it in ImgBurn and see if it's DID/MID/Disc ID/Manufacturer ID is CMC MAG.  If it is and you had no problems in the past, then your drive probably needs replacing.  How long have you been burning with it?

 

 

Still, you shouldn't use CMC MAG, even if they do successfully burn.  Their longevity is highly questionable.

Yes, I bought them at Sams Club because they had the best price.  They are just Life Series. I had no idea that there were DataLife Plus and that you could only get them online. I have also bought them at Office Max. This is kind of crummy and misleading for Verbatim. Thank You for the info. 

I am using an ASUS laptop with a DVD RW drive that is about 2 years old. I have looked online at AMAZON.COM  and found Verbatim DataLife Plus DVD-R  Discs. I have not used DVD-R but I hear they are more popular and are compatible with my burner and player.  There are many choices available. 8X, 16X, White and Silver Printable. I Do not need printable. I am going to order a 50 pack of the DVD-R 8X Silver discs and see how they work. There is a number 94852 that I do not know what it means. There are different numbers for the different kind of discs available.

Yeah, I learned the hard way by buying Verbatim CD-R and DVD-R at Office Depot.  They were CMC MAG and they were Life series.  I promptly returned them for a refund because Verbatim didn't make them.  CMC Magnetics made them.

 

 

I don't know why DataLife Plus series is only available from online sellers.  I'd have hoped Verbatim would offer the discerning buyer a choice of quality or crap instead of just crap at brick and mortar stores.

 

 

I buy some DVD-R from Amazon.com that don't say DataLife Plus but are the higher quality.  They have the AZO brand on them.  I don't know if the DVD+R you bought say AZO or not.  If they don't, then you'll want something online that says either AZO or DataLife Plus.  My inkjet DVD-R are DataLife Plus but my branded DVD-R from Amazon.com don't say DataLife Plus, just AZO.  Yeah, it's all too confusing when it shouldn't have to be.  It's only done that way to squeeze an extra dollar from buyers.  :greedy:

For DVD-R, here's what I get:

 

Branded AZO non DataLife Plus: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00081A2KY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Inkjet DataLife Plus: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A0CV9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

 

These are made by MCC, Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation, aka Verbatim.  Notice how CMC is just a rearrangement of MCC?  I think it's done on purpose to try and fool people.  :shifty:

The DVD+R I am using just say Life Series.  I also found on Amazon, Verbatim 4.7 GB up to 16x Branded Recordable Disc AZO DVD-R 50-Disc Spindle 95101. I like the higher burn speed.  They are also less expensive. These have more customer complaints though. I am going to trust you that DataLife Plus and AZO are both good.

I used an AZO DVD-R disc to burn and I still got  a Power Calibration Error.  Is there a way to adjust the power  calibration of the drive? The Computer is only 2 years old. I do not think it is the drive. It plays DVD's ok.

Well, they're MCC media so you're using quality media.  It can't be the media, since you get the same error on CMC and MCC media; it's most likely the drive.  It probably needs replacing.  If your computer is 2 years old, have you been burning discs for those 2 years?  In other words, you got successful burns before in the past but aren't anymore?  If you've been burning for 2 years, then you're lucky it's lasted that long.  Most drives I've had needed replacing after a year at best.

 

 

Unfortunately, just because a drive can still play DVD's doesn't mean it hasn't failed in writing.  In fact, just because a drive still writes other kinds of media, it can still need replacing.  My experience has been that when drives fails to write DVD+R DL at the layer break, they'll still write DVD+-R and RW and CD-R/RW fine.  Dual layer media tends to fail first.

 

 

Near as I know, power calibration errors aren't the result of a power calibration setting you can change.  Power calibration is down to the drive.  Seems to me if there's a power calibration error, that's a hardware error, if you've ruled out cheap media.

I have burned a lot of DVD's in the last 2years. I have gotten successful results until now even with CMC  discs. I mostly burn single layer discs. Only a few dual layer. I just burned a CD successfully. The burner is built into my Laptop. I'm not sure if that can be replaced or if I should order and external Burner. I have noticed that new, thinner laptops do not have a DVD drive. When I need a new laptop I will probably need an external DVD burner anyway. I really think a DVD burner should last longer than a year.

If you do get an external burner, do not get a slim model.  Get a full height drive.  Slim drives are mostly junk.

 

 

Yes, a drive should last longer than a year, but they generally don't.  That's the problem with things made to sell for a profit.  They're designed to die early so you'll buy another one.  I've had a Blu-Ray drive from LiteOn that died after 3 months.  However, I've had a good run with my Pioneer Blu-Ray burner.  It was a year and a half before I had to replace it and it only needed replacing because sometimes, like 1 out of 10, pressing the Eject button would not eject the tray.  Pressing it again would.  It still burns fine and I still have it in reserve should I need it.
