@ireland glad to hear your Memorex DVDs are still good, so are mine but they are only 3yrs old. BUT they code out as RicohJapan, and not CMC mags. I've used Imation also. XcopyXpress loved both those "bad" media. Of course I knew no better at the time. I have changed my ways since then. Media and programs. But XcopyXpress still works with AnyDVD.
For got to add this i was using a hp-100 and hp-200 burner's in 2000,2001 and the burns were 25 min..using 2.4 Memorex disks.. as compaired to 9 min burns using 4x dvd disks today.. @garmoon i still use xpress-rf and platinum-rf and they have no ripper and anydvd is needed and the programs work great even on to days movies (sony}..rf means ripper free....also there is no 321 nag screen also the rips are much faster then clonedvd..
@ireland Early on I downloaded a little program called "321 Gone" and it ripped out the watermark and 321 warning and FBI warning. You just click on it when Xpress was finished ripping and before putting in the blank. It also enabled the copy to be copied.
@garmoon Yes i rememder 321 gone..and i do remember the guy who wrote it. i also have platinum v5.0.0.13 which can do dl disks(have not tried dl disks with this program) ..i removed the ripper so it can be used with anydvd.and it has no nag screen. i just used it the other day..i am very happy with the pix,looks great on a 40inch screen.
@kaity Verbatims are just fine that you find MIT, the only thing wrong with your statement is that i have YET to see a Verbatim dvd+r DL that is "made in taiwan"...all of them (well at least the ones i have used) are 100% "made in singapore" other branded DL media you might find a MIT (as in the Ritek/Ricohjpn produced ones) under an assortment of "Brand names"...but, at least to my knowledge/experience thus far, ALL my dvd+r DL Verbatims are "made in singapore"... but, no worries as to the SL Verbatims...all of mine in the single layer are made in taiwan~ docTY~
