16x Discs instead of 8x

Now, my DVD Writer is 8x.

Thie discs I sually get are 8x, but there now only doin these sort I usually buy in 16x.

Is it still ok to buy them?

 

Yeah but burn at the lowest speed for best results.

 

ok thansk mate.

 

No. Avoid 16x media with the PS2. It causes a lot of people problems with PS2 backups, even quality media like Verbatim. If you can only find 16x media, go with Taiyo Yuden's. I have very limited experience with 16x media, but the couple TYG03's I burned do work. I would still recommend you buy some quality 8x Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim media online. If you can only get 16x media where you are, look for Sony 16x DVD-R's with an octogonal spacer (piece of styrofoam) on top of the 50 spindle. Also make sure it says Made in Japan on the label. Those should work, but I can't guarantee it. Again look for quality 8x media, if you can't find any, then pick up some 16x Taiyo Yuden's under the Sony label.

 

I just picked up a pack of 100 HP dvd+r's 8x at staples for $30 originally $70. They said they would take em back if I said I didn't like the playing quality lol. But they work awesome. I took a burned iso that worked slow from my old dvds that didnt really work. Now they work.

 

That's a gamble. They'll probably code out as CMC Mag. They might work now, I don't know about 6 months from now. The price is awful, you could got TY's online for a lot cheaper.

Here's 100 TYG02's for half what you paid, with free shipping

Next time you shop for media, look around online first.

Ah well, I was obviously to tired last night.

Thanks for suggestions anyway!

 

Tokijin, i see you have the same problem linking to supermediastore.com as i do, what's up with that?
Mine never links correctly either. Glad your back man

 

Yeah man, weird huh? You know how anal I am, I sat there and played with that link for 10 mins and couldn't get it right. It's definitely something with their scripting or something, no other links I use do that. Thanks for the welcome back man, much appreciated.
