. . just remember, getting older is mandatory
but growing up is optional !

 

Thnx for the replies on the tape wrapped Discs. Since I'm only going to be burning what I really want this time around, and converting, I'll want to at least save some videos in VTS/VOB format to them. That way if I want to convert to another different format I'll have them available. Having both set of files will burn a hole in my pocket hdd wise.

That mom n pop shop I posted about has the tape wrapped discs. I'll see what brand and post back see if you guys used them and if good to go b4 I pull the trigger. I'll be trying locally as well when the stuff is good. Online otherwise.

I never thought I'd say this but things are tight out here. When the Dunkin Donuts start closing you know it's bad. Lol...

 

We have car dealerships closing like crazy around here . . of course, we had way too many to begin with . . .

If you want to get a good deal on a home, just come here to the metro Deetroit area . . .

Ha ha ha . . bunch of people been living way beyond their means for decades . . kinda snuck up and bit them in the old patootie!

 

For storage I've got 1tb in the computer plus a single 1tb external plus the new 2tb external. All 3 are WD's & the externals are USB. Also the boot drive is a WD too. Speaking of Western Digital my SA 8300 DVR from Comcast has a 500gb My DVR Expander on it that has been working great for about 18 months now. WD now has a 1tb DVR expander but I really don't need it so I haven't bought one. It's just that in my experience WD drives are so relieable that I won't buy any other brand.

 

Has Taiyo Yuden sold out to JVC ? If so how will this affect the Quality of Taiyo Yuden . I haven't seen any articals to this affect, but a friend of mine pointed out this to me
JVC Taiyo Yuden White Inkjet Hub Printable 16X DVD-R Media (Value Line) 200 Pack in Tape Wrap

Rick,
Yes, JVC recently bought TY. JVC is pretty fussy about quality so I hope that continues under their ownership.

Best Regards,
Russ

 

Thanks a lot, never thought TY would sell out. Always thought they were a major player

 

Quick question...What is a good brand of Glossy Printable DVDs, and a link if you have one.
I've heard that the print surface is Superior to Matte, would like to try a few to see

 

SMS's watershield TY's are incredible! TYG03 is there id. I use them all the time. Never one coaster!

 

Rick,
JVC is a good company, and everything stays the same, except TY will have more money for R&D. I expect good things from this marriage!

@Russ

I just did a scan of a JVC +RX16 TY T03. Not a pretty score. This one was a 77. The one I posted yesterday in the scan thread had a better score but a worse disc.I'll not be buying anymore of them. TY branded JVC is now 2nd tier IMHO. I hope they read these threads.

 

I may have misread earlier (a few weeks ago) but I'm pretty sure that TY bought JVC's part of the media market or something like that.

GM,
I went and looked it up, as I read it in the news, and darned if you aren't right! LOL!! TY bought the Media division of JVC. That's an even better thing as JVC has no say in what TY does, so no interference in TYs operation.

Sorry,
Russ

 

Now that is good news, I was worried some, as we all know once a big corporation takes over things most of the time things go sour, so as long as Ty has the major say so I am happy.

 

@ bratcher How's that 2 TB fairing? Is that a 64 mb cache? I got WD to send me a link to their 2 TB and it was a 64 mb cache. Is it the regular series or Green, Blue Caviar, etc... Also is just pure Sata interface or does it have a E-sata interface as well? Thnx. I'm going shopping soon and I'm also a WD man all the way. Any lil input goes a long way.

Now about the whole JVC thingy. I don't know why they went on about this making them more accessible to the masses and cutting costs bit when they're still MIJ as of now anyway and costs can't be down. Also they are still selling what millions or w/e of the original TYS they have in storage until full JVC comes into effect if that's their plan.

I don't see any sense in putting both out after the move as faithful TY users will most likely stay w/the original ones and JVC will suffer. so I see no matching of prices w/Verbs or some other very good media any time soon even in B&M stores if still MIJ.

That OM sale every so often will always be better than a more expensive online TY purchase imo.

OT here, but did Japan get lazy or something? Even their cars are being called in by the millions. Lol... Very unusual of that in all my experience w/their so called quality stuff.

 

It's a My Book Essential 2TB 3.5" USB 2.0 External Hard Drive. The web page for it is here.

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0316300

Works great & I'm very happy with it.

 

Okie. Doesn't specify cache but has to be at least 32MB. Thnx.

 

Your welcome....
