I just got pwned by TDK 16x DVD+Rs 300x over

Motherfvcker!!!!

When burning with Nero, no errors reported. Now, all I fvcking get is CRC errors. Even on freshly burned DVD+Rs, it gives me CRC errors. I thought it was my drive but nope, my Office Depot DVDs... no problem. The older 8x TDKs are fine too.

Motherfvcker!!!

I've had good luck with TDK 16x DVD-R discs. I've gone through a 100 stack with no issues burning at full speed.

I've never used the minus ones. These were purchased from Fry's in the 100-pack. They have a grey surface... there are also 16x DVD+Rs with a silver surface.

Ummm tip for everyone.

Get MADE IN JAPAN discs. Most of the time, those are Taiyo Yudens, but I guess people here aren't exactly media freaks. Check out cdfreaks.com for more info..

BTW, run a scan with CD-DVD speed and check the quality. Also post a screenie if you can. If you can't just tell me the media code.

Compare these and you'll see what I mean

http://www.atotchat.org/~montavis/dmo/comp/3540-2.JPG - Taiyo Yuden discs from Fry's. They were branded as Sony discs, but they said Made in Japan so I picked them up. This is known as a very good scan. Not excellent, but very good

http://www.atotchat.org/~montavis/dmo/comp/3540.JPG - CMC Magnetics DVD-Rs, branded as Memorex. Memorex uses CMC discs. These were bought in Aug 2005. CMC used to be crap, but they're a little better now. That said, if you think Memorex = uber leet, no it's not. It's just decent. This is an AVERAGE SCAN.

http://www.atotchat.org/~montavis/dmo/comp/3540-3.JPG - FAKE Taiyo Yuden discs. While the media code is like a TY disc, look at the sheer # of errors. Clearly a fake. These were GQ discs @ Fry's for like $5 / spindle or whatever they sell them for. I never buy these and they were given to me by a friend.

My personal rule is to burn at 8x max, or 6x sometimes. EVEN if I'm dealing Taiyo Yuden discs that should burn at 16x fine.

Second.. get a quality burner Benq or NEC.

Good advice! I usually stay away from DVDs made in Taiwan and pretty much everything made outside of Japan

All the DVD+R I've ever burned are made in Taiwan. While not as "good" as the TYs, I've never had any problems until now with the 16x TDKs.

I have an NEC 16x burner.

Yeah, it's only Verbatim or made in Japan stuff for me, but the MIJ stuff is getting harder to find in stores now.

It never goes on sale either.
