polopony Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Taiyo Yuden +R 8X supports burning up to 16X and Verbatim +R 8X also supports up to 16x ,You wont get any better discs, with the Verbs dont get the 'White Pearl " type the dye manufacturer is memorex (crap) you want the MCC dye. These are all I use with an NEC3500 burner and not 1 bad burn so far _NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG 2.1A (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Empty Erasable: No Free Sectors: 2,295,104 Free Space: 4,700,372,992 bytes Free Time: 510:03:29 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: MCC-004-00 Book Type: DVD+R Part Version: 1 _NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG 2.1A (ATA) Current Profile: DVD+R Disc Information: Status: Complete Erasable: No Sessions: 1 Sectors: 2,285,872 Size: 4,681,465,856 bytes Time: 508:00:22 (MM:SS:FF) Supported Write Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 6x, 8x, 12x, 16x Physical Format Information (ADIP): Disc ID: YUDEN000-T02-00 Book Type: DVD+R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcspider Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 polopony i found the discs you sudjest on the net thank you but i only found 4.7 gbs i can only make images of around 7.5 gbs up to now can you sudjest any that size thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polopony Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 once you get above 4.3 gigs you're into Dual Layer (DVD9) discs that you can put 8.5 gigs worth of video on without compression . These discs are a good bit more expensive than single layer (DVD 5).If you need the D/L's then use Verbatim Dual Layer +R discs they are the only discs that give good results consistently. I only use DVD5 4.7 single layer, remove all the junk from my video, use a little compression and they play and look fine and cost about $ .40 cents each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volvofl10 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 mcspider you mentioned -r in the first post , depending on your burner you may only be able to write -r and not +r. likewise, depending on your burner, you may not be able to write dual layer discs with it anyway, so check this out before you buy any dual layer discs ( there not cheap ) if your drive will only write to -r the -r taiyo yuden 8x are equally as good as the +r ones Polopony mentioned for dv5 work. they are the only ones i use .

chewy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) thanks volvo yes it will write dual layer just wonderd was there a certain make or die that was better In order of quality and consistency SL TYG0X's Yuden T0X's everything else DL Verbatim + format nothing else ranks a gross generalization!

mcspider Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 (edited) thanks chewy i found Verbatim discs on the net but there are 3 speeds i have a 16x dual layer would you sudjest the 2.4, 4, or 8 speed discs as i know sometimes its better at a lower speed many thanks oh i have one last ? and i understand we dont talk about copy write in here and i hope this doesnt brake that rule but i made my iso and as i said its 8gb and i put it onto a dual layer disc complete i was going to reduce its size and tried to use shrink but i couldnt find the file in my folder am i right in saying shrink wont pick up iso files or have i done something wrong i understand if i am breaking a riule asking if so please just answer about the speed of discs Edited January 28, 2006 by mcspider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 could save me a few dual layer discs since i reauthor main files only and break up unusally long compilations into 2 disks and am still waiting to see a high quality scan of a DL burn, I'll stick with SL disks(whose technology has almost matured).

volvofl10 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 also to open an ISO in shrink , FILE button >open disc image ( on sub menu) you have ISO' s associated with winrar in winrars settings , simply go to winrar, and remove iso as a file association . in winrar OPTIONS>SETTINGS>INTEGRATION and UNcheck the box next to ISO and Ok it as for write speed with dual layer discs, it really depends on what speed your burner can write to D/L at . whats the exact make and model of it, or what speed does the manual say it will wite to D/L at ?

cornholio7 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 choose the pi/po option in dvd info pro and insert a disc , if your drive doesnt support scanning then you cant start the scan. alternative there is buy a drive that does like a benq1640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
