Hello all. I'm very new to this so please bear with me. i'm just wondering what brand of dvdrs will work the best when burning dvds using anydvd and dvd clone2. Thanx in advance.
Hi pstamer I would recommend Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden (in store Taiyo look for made in japan only Sony or Fuji - usually 8x). Those 2 are very compatible with the different burners. Another suggestion is to make sure your drive's(burner) firmware is update to date. This will help your drive w/ the read/write strategies of media. edit: spelling
Thanx binkie7. My firmware is up to date. I have an LG Super Multi with lightscribe. I will look around for the Taiyo Yuden discs. Much thanx.
No problem pstamer Verbatims are usually easier to find in store. The Sony & Fuji mij 8x are usually made Taiyo. You can also buy them online - if you need help finding them just post back where you located - someone here should be able to point you in the right direction.
Well then you're in luck! I use http://supermediastore.com to buy genuine Taiyo Yuden. Much easier and cuts the quess work out of who the actual manufacturer is.
Actually, I've got one more question. What's the difference between dvdr+ and dvdr-; and which one is better? Thanx for all guys.
Ah the - or + question! +R is said to be superior - the one difference is it can be booktyped to make the disc appear to be a DVD-Rom - making it almost universally compatible with DVD players. Your burner would need to support booktyping. Some LG's do. You would need to check your model though. -R is cheaper online and has a higher compatiblity w/ dvd players than +R (non booktyped). I use both - mainly -R because I usually buy online and I also use the inkjet printable (cheaper).
