Official docTY Taiyo Yuden thread

you can select burn speed in nero express next to the destination
drive. after you choose speed, you get to select number of copies.

 

Thanks. I think I'll watch for local deals. They seem to be
about the same as what you quote.

Verbatims should come around on deal sooner or later. My price
point for these is 50 cents. I'm very patient.

 

now if we can find verbatim DL's for .50 cents each we all will be buying them faster than we can breath...lol

I got some SONY accuCORE dvd+r. when i run them under nero cd/dvd speed disk quality test, i always get around 50-60 quality score. My burner is up to date, and i tried different speeds. The media code is YUDEN000 T02, not sure if there fake. There also made in japan. I was also wondering if the media on there would be safe?
thx
EDIT: been going through the quality test and even got lower scores...how accurate is nero quality test? and should i be concerned?

 

your score should be a little higher. how is the playback?

 

Im not sure what exact model number it is right now but it was one of the nec brand. playback is great. not really concern about them though.
thx 4 replying

 

Those SonyX8 MIJ +R TYs are the best there ever was IMHO. Your scores should be a lot higher. Have you looked at the coding on the inner core of the blanks(may need magnifying glass) and compared the numbers to the DocTY post on the first page of this thread? Those will confirm the real deal.

 

Both ID does match the number on the sony, so they are genuine.
thx

 

dont wast those mij sony's. its like extremely rare now days.
stock them up if you can. i only use them to backed up good movies.
other wise i just use verbatim's.

 

I know theres some lightsribe users in here check out this sale at Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817130009 Chris

 

They ought to be giving them away. Not too keen on Lightscribe. Can. Don't. With shipping they come to more than I would pay.

 

garmoon agree with you on Lite scribe. I know a few members are into them, so i posted it along.chris

 

those were 9.99 when they were onsale last time at
new egg too. i guess i will have to wait for them to be
9.99 to get them.

 

Well, I think I have finally learned my lesson. I just tried to watch "A touch of frost" that I backed up a couple of months ago on a vebatim 8x dvd. Got about 2/3 thru and it started to stall and and then pixels, etc. unwatchable. tried to copy disc two and no go with dvdfab express at about 80% thru. I have been using Taiyo Yudens for the past two months, either 8x or 16x with absolutely no problems. playback has been smooth and error free. I always check the quality with nero and if less than 90% I discard and burn another. My problem with A touch of frost was a Samsung dvd burner which had outlived its usefullness and mediocre blank media. Using a good(liteon) burner and the best blank media(taiyoj yuden), I have had NO problems with playback. Then bottom line---make sure your burner is up to diate with firmware and is burning accuarately, and use Taiyo Yuden blank DVDs. Of all the blank media I have used, Taiyo Yuden gives the best results. Bar none.

 

I hear ya bro...I am a TY fan by far, [TYs are 90% of what I burn with]BUT I would not give up on Verbatium, they are very good media...I believe the problem like you said was the play/burn stand alone [which I do not put to much stock in- although their are some here that has had some luck]. I use verbatium for my DL disks and have had much luck...I have burn over a 100 w/ them and I am very happy other then the fact they cost to much- that is because I use easy to use programs... dont give up next to TY ...Verbatium is the way to go

 

@cziembo,
I think that you should give those Verb's another chance. What did they code out as? You have come to a great place in the discovery of good (or great) media but don't discount the Verb's, especially if they are MCC 003 or MCC 004. Good media in my book. I use TY, Verb, Maxell (hitachi), and some Riteks with good/great success.

Another thing you should consider is the "score" you get with Nero CD/DVD Speed. It is eyecandy really but a higher score means it's better most of the time. With this method of scaning I have many discs that score over 90 that are more than 2 years old. The discs are MCC 003's, TYG01's, YUDEN T02's and some Sony's believe it or not.

I'm not gonna steer you away from TY's because they are 'tip-top' but don't be afraid of the Verb's (DVD+R).

@greensman

If those Sonys are 8X +R and MIJ, they are genuine TY T02s. They will get great scores.

 

Yeh, should of been more explanatory on that. lol. I do have some Sony's that are the YUDEN T02's (and TYG03's) but I'm talking about the SONY08D1's (i think that's right, i don't have one handy..). They have been pretty good media but I stick with the TY's and Verb's now because there's no doubt....

.........c

edit to fix sony code on DVD-R 8X.......SONY08D1

 

Haven't seen or heard of any of those D08s.

 

I definately wouldn't put the blame on the verbatim's, that is as long as they are made by mitsubishi chemical co. and they are +r booktyped dvd-rom (which I doubt they are because I don't think samsung dvdrw's are capable of bitsetting). Verbatim media (MCC) is all I use and they even perform better FOR ME than taiyo yudens. My verbs 2 - 3 years old still play back flawlessly. Now if it's -r media that you are using, I would recommend taiyo yuden over verbatim.

I would be more inclined to put the blame on the samsung dvdrw and it's firmware. They are no good right out of the box IMHO. You should see much better results with that lite-on dvdrw and it is bitset ready to boot. Keep the firmware current.
