Okay,
Thanks for the info,
no i do not have a dvd printer,
what i do is after the dvd is done burning,
i have a labeler(i think i spelt it right)
sorry i have bad spelling,
anyway,
i put small thin lables on the top of the disk,
with the name of the disk,
because my writing sux lol

btw,
since im talking about this,
do any of you guys use lables?
on your dvds?
and also does it hurt to put the label on the dvd before burning
(if i remember)
i apply the label after burning but sometimes,
i forget.
so do it screw up the burning or..?

hope all that made sence(lol)

thanks,
Stan

I second that about those 4 on-line stores, I personally prefer supermediastore.com but the other 3 are also good.

Stan,
Don't use the labels anymore!! I haven't heard anything good from using them. lol. I have heard that when you use them it throws the disc out of balance and causes other problems on top of that. ;)

Hopefully someone that has used them will respond but it's a NO NO at my house. Like ZoSo said SHARPIES!!

...gm

the green man is right, they will screw up your disc's and computer, of course not always but why take a silly chance on expensive equipment, sharpies all the way.

Okay,
Thanks for the advice.

i use markers also. if i have a disc i really and want to keep nice will use and inkjet hub printable disc.

I agree with the other guys . do not in any circumstance put a label on a dvd. I did early on and had 100% failure rate on over a hundred. I would prefer to be skinned and rolled in salt before I would ever put a label on a dvd again

remember inkjet or sharpies ONLY!!

I don't even put labels on CDR's anymore!! Many of the CD's I put a label on have become partially or totally unreadable. Dug up one yeaterday & only 50% of it was readable so I put what files I could save from it on the hard drive then tossed the disc. Put a label on a DVD? No way!! It's either a sharpie or inkjet printable media for both DVD's or CD's......

when buying online why are the +r's more than the -r's?

i havent burnt alot of -r's are they as good as the +r's or any difference?

heck supermeidastore has 200 8x-r's for $56.99 delivered.(premium line at that).. thats unreal... im just not to sure on the -r media????

+Rs are more expensive so they must be better LOL--you can book type them. I have no idea either since I've burned probably 3 -Rs in 4 years. Good question.

i justburnt 3 8x-r's today at 8x. got 2 good scans and 1 that wasnt so hot.

i know docTY said you will get a point or 2 less on the -r's compaired to the +s's which really isnt much. im just not sold on the -r's for some reason. i havent had any bad luck with them(knocking on wood right now).

but hell $57 for 200 shipped that is getting to hard for me to pass up..


edit to add.

was looking around and founf these.the watersheild scratch resistant disc. prices are comeing down on there.

http://meritline.com/taiyo-yuden-16x-dvd...-printable.html

ok got a question. been loking at media at SMS found these 8x-r TY's.

http://supermediastore.com/taiyo-yuden-w...x-100-pack.html

whatis the difference in these and the other 8x-r's
http://supermediastore.com/taiyo-yuden-w...-media-100.html

Rob it doesn't make any sense that they are that much different in price. I don't think it would matter which discs you got BUT I would go for the ones that are $29.99 shipped. Just me but I like my money and a $10 savings is GOOD in my book. lol.

You already know what I think about the TYG02 discs so I don't think you could go wrong unless you DON'T buy them.... :P

I've answered this a million times lol, its marketing. they football the DVD dash R and make money on the DVD plus R format

Rob all i use is the DVD dash R well 98% anyway yeah there fine. actually i think the DVD plus R are hyped to much but its personal choice. the structure is the difference between the two formats JoeRyan could give us more detail I'm sure

what the hell are you waiting on get them lol

Rob ZoSo is so subtle. :P I agree to some point. LOL.

....gm

TBH I haven't had a problem with either format and I have more +R in stock right now but I would take either format in TY. :D

yea i think im gonna pull the trigger on the 200 for $57 and then at meritline they have the 16x-r hubprintable water sheild TY's for $36 for 50ct cake.

great prices on this media right now...just waiting on meritline to come down on the inkcart for my Epson printer... missed the last time they had 36 carts for $36...

edit to add...

plus free shipping cant beat that with a wet noodle.....


@ZOSO

you hear the boys are gonna get together again next year???
think even under the name Led Zeppelin, instead of the Page/Plant tour....(wonder in jason bohnam is gonna join them)

I think I would wait till best buy puts their +R 16X Verbatims on sale for $12.99 @50, 200=$ 52 + tax. Then you can booktype them.

yeah they played in the UK last week and word is a tour is in the works for next year and yes Jason is playing drums. let us know how you like the DVD dash R format once you get them

first post of the new year in DocTY's thread...cool

well i'll bet 15 8x+r TY's that OHIO STATE wins tonight......

It's Half Time right now and they are 14 points behind. Just send me 5 TY's. HeHeHe

@cincyrob

My LSU Tigers just beat the stuffing out of your Buckeyes. Did you really believe OSPooh could beat the SEC in a bowl game. 0-9 and counting. I'm glad we weren't the first to loose. 31 unanswered points on that defense!! Geaux Tigers!! National Champs-this time the AP agrees LSU #1 Georgia #2 and 5 total SEC teams in top 15! What a great football season. I have a bad hangover this am. It's time Big Ten and Pac Ten have championship games like the rest of the country. I'll take all the TYs now!!:)

I also prefer supermediastore, the +R disc seem to work best for me.I print most of the copys I make,I have a Epson R260. It is getting harder to find the compatible refills for the R260 and the name brands are way to costly, I may have to go back to the sharpie myself soon.Anyone knows where to get the good Epson compatible refills ?Ty and batim all the way.

@garmoon

my high school team that lost in the state championship game could have beat ohio state lastnight...they looked awfull....... all they had to do was keep on attacking LSU like they did in the first quarter and it might have been a different game....oh well bring on spring training is all i got to say...lol....

meritline has some good deals on ink for the epson printers.. thats where i get my ink from

ive only printed on about 4 of the silver printable TY's those bad boys look sweet i think.. need to order me some
