    Here's a scan of a DVD+R DL. Verbatim 2.4X MIS if I'm not mistaken. Burned it at 4X via NEC Optiarc 7200S. One of my favorite drives :D

    A player locked up while playing it. And yet, it's one of the best scans I've seen of this disc type! I'm guessing the player had an issue. Because the scanning drive, was able to play through the supposed area, where there was a problem. Ah well, have to reburn it anyway, because something else was screwed up LOL!
    I'm used to these looking a bit rough on one of the layers :S

    Still running my same burners. Die hards. Though BD burner #1 can't be trusted to burn, it still reads 99% of them without stutter. My optiarcs are still going :S I'm thinking they don't know how to die.

    Supermediastore carries my media. JVC/TY are still excellent media for dvds. And I use "That's"(TY) found on ebay. I've heard panasonic makes good BD media too.

    Hope you have a happy new year Rob ;)

    I've gone through meritline. Not for media however. I generally stick to newegg, and SMS.
    Some of their media is expensive. I usually wait for a sale, or coupon code ;)

    Hello all, long time no talky!

    I don't do much burning anymore myself, only for those dvd isos that won't play oorrectly by my media players out of my network storage.

    I always preview movies in dvd format to see if I really like it before commiting to bluray, then I buy. Otherwise (normally) it is rip - view - delete.

    Mmm, I'm more of a HDD storage/backup kind of guy myself. The only DVD's I've burned lately, were picture discs for family.

    Blu-rays take up quite a bit of space. Especially 3DBD's. Though that may be remedied soon. But even 15TB, only goes so far :S

    Best storage for bluray is on pressed bluray discs, hands-down.

    I only have 6TB permanent storage but with an additional 9TB addable/swapable.

    Burned this with my wonderful 7200S @8X. I expected it to be a bit worse. Though I suppose the jitter is high. This iHES drive is not the best for reading though. But, it was convenient :p Verbatim Life series.

    Can anyone give some guidelines to burn DL discs propely ? I'm using the best i could find , Verbatim MKM-003-00 , i burned at AWS speed , i can scan the Disc Quality at 4x and it looks pretty good but i can only do the Scan Disc at 8x and it shows some bad sectors . Should i be concerned about these sectors ? I also checked a pressed DL disc and no red sectors appear .
    It's a problems that starts with the second layer, i'm using ImgBurn and the Layer Break is set to Automatic .
    I also did a disc at 4x and that one actually looks worse . So, maybe the golden rule to " burn at lowest speed possible " is not valid anymore ? Is there another software better for DL or i'll stick with ImgBurn ? It's a PS2 game i'm trying to burn but patched to look like a DVD Video .

    Hi flowrent- what do you mean it's "patched to look like a DVD Video?" What type of disc are you burning- data disc, DVD-Video, etc. I don't know what type a PS2 supports.

    I don't use Imgburn. You're using Nero utilities to check the discs. Do you have a Nero suite?

    In general, you can ignore the bad sectors. Almost every disc has them but the software won't write to them.
