Beware: Verbatim branded CMC DVD-R 8x "Pearl White" Media

Thanks for the info creaky.I'm glad I only use the plus format on the dlp +8x.

 

I believe it. There is gonna be alot of upset people on the Verb bandwagon.

 

I wonder what Kivory666 will say. Hes got to have an opinion on thisw one. People you have to read the whole thread that Creaky posted. Click on the link. There are pic of Verbatim CMC discs.

 

seems like a blow to the Verbatim team doesn't it creaky? hehe

i was not aware of this either, but will look into it myself; i am w/ saugmon on this as i ONLY use 8x and 16x dvd+r format for Verbatim myself~

the boys over at cdfreaks seem to have a higher regard to CMC MAG media, hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but that will never sway me, regardless of what they say...CMC MAG sucks a** and i personally will never use it again~ that's MY opinion of it.

@ aland..hehehe..i'm basically up to my eyeballs in TY media, with the occasional "bad batch" or "are these genuine" questions headed my way...but, i still stand in the TY camp and am solid as an oak~

Did you read the whole thread over there? It seems as though CMC has become MCC. These discs are new. Did you see the picture? I have a feeling that the new 16x will have a new media code. All the Verb happy crew better stock up now because their media is going downhill fast. I for one would not pay Verb prices for CMC made media.

 

@aland

yes, i read the entire thread...i am well aware of the discrepency of CMC MAG and MCC discs...but, as i stated earlier, i don't have many of the Verbatim dvd-r format, just 1 spindle of 100 i bought retail, so at least for me PERSONALLY, it doesn't apply to me. i ONLY purchase dvd+r format for media...whether it be TY or Verbatim~ and so far i have not had ANY problems w/ my MCC003 or MCC004s (8x dvd+r and 16x dvd+r Verbatim respectively).

after this announcement of Verbatim's new pearl white media, gonna stick w/ my TRUSTY TYS YUDEN000T02 for awhile...glad i stocked up when the going was good~

 

" Is it Live or is it Memorex " Here we go again. Kivory666 is 100% right. I will stick to his trusty Taiyo Yudens also.

 

welcome back aboard the TY bandwagon~

 

Interesting... Taiyo Yuden will rule with no close second now... I need to see how this develops...

 

Those folk over at cd freaks have always regarded cmc mag at a much higher level than us intelligent ppl here. Don't get me wrong I learned a lot about my litey over there but their opinions on media suck. I'm still a verb dvd+r dude and will remain to keep it 1st on my preference list as long as it's made by MCC. If the +r's start being made by cmc mag, well then scoot over kiv cause here I come to your wagon.

Edited for spelling- believe it or not the word intelligent. Guess that makes me NOT SO intelligent.

 

INTELLIGENCE is a virtue we have here at AD~ always plenty of space here in the TY army~ we'll see how this pans out...this is a very good thread to shed some light on these new findings...i remain a dedicated dvd+r guy..in both TY and Verbatim..BUT, in the near future if i EVER get any Verbs that code out as CMC MAG...oh boy, my confidence in Verbs will be shot to he**~

 

Man this would suck if all verbs got converted to thid, im lucky the ones i just bought are the MCC 02RG20 otherwise im pretty much scr3w3d ill have to buy sony instead unless i can find an online aussie store that is trusted and get some TY's

 

That's a good point Mort81. I am a "Junior Member" over at CDFreaks. I usually read up on hardware/firmware issues over there. They have the thread categories for optical drives nicely formatted. BUT, when it comes to software and media, AD RULES... I usually don't stray too far away from DVD related issues, but I know that the "Freaks" can't touch AD in this regards!!! I share my findings from CDFreaks on drive info here, and I am usually able to give a few words of wisdom about media and the various burning programs gathered from AD there. I am here about 90% of the time, though.

Someone should take a look at how they have their optical drive category is formatted. I think that it would be just as beneficial here as the "new" Nero forum has been. AD is my proclaimed home, but I must continue to expand my knowledge base... Maybe a couple of you Senior Members could pass this recommendation along if you think it would be as beneficial as I think it would...

 

LOL.. It seems to be a labor of love, though... LOL

 

you know you like it creaky...that's your BREAD AND BUTTER of AD~
