My verbatim DVD-R's coded out as MCC 03RG20

My verbatim DVD-R's coded out as MCC 03RG20. Is anything coded as MCC considered quality media? Please advise..

 

That's the MID for Verb 16x DVD-Rs. Yes they're MCC but some here prefer the 16x DVD+Rs MCC 004.

 

yes its considered quality media or Taiyo Yuden either or is your best choice

 

If I where you, I would do a quality test with nero, just to see if they fix them. Those MCC03RG20 a while back had problems (quality was inconsistant 35-85 percent) . I am curious to see if they are safe to buy again. I prefer my DVDs to be at least 90 percent quality. Let us know what you got on your quality test. Incidently the verbatims 16X+(plus) are testing out at 96 to 99 percent for me.

 

There was some talk awhile back how the inner hub markings varied on the Verb 16x -Rs where the perferred marking was MAPA and the less desirable = MAP6

 

MCC is good. CMC Mag is bad.

 

CMC Mag makes both. Your answer is oversimplified.

 

I'm pretty sure the maker of CMC Mag does not make Media and tag it as MCC.

 

CMC Magnetics does not make Mitsubishi Chemicals discs.

 

CMC Magnetics makes CD-R and DVD+/-R discs for Verbatim in its Lin Kuo factory in Taiwan. These discs use the MCC or MKK M-code for the DVD, but the CD-Rs generally use the CMC ATIP. All Verbatim/MCC discs manufactured in Taiwan come from CMC Magnetics.

Verbatim discs are also made in Singapore (DL media) and India (MBI). These are the facts. If they conflict with the popular bias against CMC's ability to manufacture good discs, perhaps that bias should be altered. Most, but not all, problems with CMC product have to do with compatibility--the support or lack thereof for a particular M-code in the write strategies of a drive. Mitsubishi has far greater support than CMC has, and that is the chief reason why discs made in the same factory, on the same equipment, often with identical dyes, will not perform the same way on a drive if their M-codes are different.

 

Here's a recent test of an MCC03RG20 after I backed up a wii game.

95% is nothing to hang your head about. Pretty much at or above average results for -R verbs.

 

i must agree with PLayr on that last statement

i myself had roughly 300 of those 16x-r's that had that bad inner codeing.took them bad boys back.

if you got a 95% on a -r that is awsome.consider that a great burn, BUT how does it play? that is the only true test right there....

 

Works fine.

Just thought I'd share since jony218 said he was curious to see how they burn.
