    I've been using them for 2 [lus years now and never had a problem with the, but I must say looking over the latest supermediastore.com specials Shop4tech may be a thing of the past. Just my 2 cents worth

    very glad to hear from both of you and your successes with Shop4Tech, nice deals indeed~ :)

    i no longer "diss" Shop4Tech anymore as many members have come to me with POSITIVE and good experiences with them as of late :), they've definitely improved since i last used them about 2 years ago~ that's very good news~

    you have to understand that being "burned once" (no pun intended), you can imagine how i feel about a company that HAS scammed me before, once bitten, never forgotten~ :) but, i just might give them another chance to "make things right" with me in the future, thanks for the heads up~

    docTY~

    Many thanks for the kind words gear. You REALLY helped me out with your mechanical wisdom and knowledge when my old klunker let me down. This old diesel mech is way behind in the newer electronic auto industry. Thanks again my friend.

    Again, here is another awesome Maxell 8X DVD+R (Hitachi - made in japan) -- I just burned this earlier (DUKES OF HAZZARD UNRATED). Damn, I guess my DRU710A loves these baby as much as them YUDEN and Verbs MCC004 "Advanced Azo". I'll be scanning some of my old CMC MAG so newbies can see how they turns out. It ain't gonna look good, that's all I can say.

    I'm working on a spindle of those MIJ Maxell's right now. They are working fantastic.

    Alcohol, do you have a read out of a Maxel MIT 8x R03? How would that compare to the MIJ?

    Cheers.

    Either car.mike or saugmon asked me about my TDK 8X +R printables that coded as Moser Bauer. Here is the answer.

    Fortunately, these were given to me by someone who "couldn't get them to work right", so I didn't spend a penny on this crap.

    let me ask you guys this, does it make a difference on burner model on a scan?

    its not like i am a noob to this.... but i have ran a few scans on my verbs 16x rated (burned @ 4x) with my litey, the results are similiar but not equal to some of the ones posted and the same goes for my ty's .....

    i'm just curious.

    I'm sure that the burner that you use would be a factor in the quality/results of the scan as well as the media that you use.

    I think I will try to learn how to do a scan with DVDinfopro. I have the registered version. I assume the help menu should provide information on how to use it.

    I want to see what the Maxell MIT ritek R03 scan.

    I use one that has been burned correct?

    I downloaded and ran the latest Beta version of DVDInfoPro and I can not get it to work. I am going to uninstall it and reinstall the other version and see if I can get it to scan.

    Anybody else had this issue?

    @9mmruger1

    Honestly, I think the Maxell 8X DVD+R (Hitachi - made in japan) has more quality than the R03 (Maxell MIT). Perhaps, it's my DRU710A that has got used to burning them (Maxell 8X +R "mij"). However, I could be wrong though, but I've never and or rarely use Ritek before. I remember using just a spindle of 25 Maxell MIT somewhere last year, but I can't find it anywhere to scan now.

    @alcohol

    Do you use DVDInfoPro? I can't seem to get the beta version to scan?

    Any ideas?
