Question about Taiyo Yuden media

@davidw001,

Thanks for the kind words on my image/disc. What printer do you have? I have the Epson R300 Photo Printer and I used genuine Taiyo Yuden 8X DVD+R Silver Inkjet printable dvd blanks from "supermediastore.com".

Yeah, I can't wait for Unleashed: Unrated to come out, so I can have another backup (I don't mind having 2 different versions). I've seen an article somewhere that mentioned an interview with director Louie Leterrier, and he said the "unrated" version will have all of the actions on it.

 

Well, I got my TY's today and they're definately real. I used DVD Identifier to check one of the discs and the manufacturer name is Taiyo Yuden Co. Ltd. and the manufacturer ID is TYG02.

 

GG000110 on inner ring. There's an indented code on the very inner ring that has GG at the end. I believe these were made in Japan.

 

Just got some of these same discs myself in yesterday from supermediastore.com. 100% satisfied. I don't even want to finish my Verbatim stack now.

 

the best thing to do there js78 is just make sure your buying them from a good dealer ,supermedia store.com ,meritline.com ,rima.com and even newegg.com you wwill never get fakes from theses dealers

 

inner hub DOES in fact check out accordingly~ NICELY DONE~!

man, i miss my TYG02s i have so many TYGO1s 4x dvd-r media left~

wish you the best of luck w/ those AUTHENTIC TYG02s, you heard that from docTY if anyone argues with you~ LOL

 

I got a 200 spool of Taiyo 4x off Supermedia store.
They are burning fine. But I am little disappointed at how bumpy around the edges they are. It reminds me of the cheap Office Depot Brand.

 

as to the "bumpiness" that is apparent on the bulk spindles, i noticed this too, BUT, it DOES NOT affect the quality of the disc, it is purely aesthetically NOT pleasing to the eye~

 

 My recent foray into Taiyo Yuden ownership has yielded the following results:

 The blue Taiyo Yuden manufactured FujiFilm discs seem to be ideal for marking with my silver Sharpie

 When I write on the yellow Taiyo Yuden manufactured FujiFilm discs with a blue Sharpie, it appears black

 Why, in the name of good taste, would FujiFilm have Taiyo Yuden manufacture discs in such an ugly color as the pea green discs?

 On a side note .. FujiFilm sells slim jewel cases in 5 colors and DVDs in 3 colors. Why don't they have Taiyo Yuden manufacture DVDs in red and violet?

 If you notice a bulge in my cheek, it's because this post is 'tomgue in cheek'

 By the way Doc .. my BenQ is eating these suckers up! (It loves 'em)

 

@catfreak

i JUST might have to bust out MY new Benq 1640 outta the box soon huh? seems like if your Benq LOVES these TY bad boys, then MINE should be no different?

mine is still in the box from newegg, i bought that 1640 after both YOUR recommendation and saugmon's success with his 1620s it IS a replacement drive once one of my main drives cease to function/burn~ but, so far, all my drives are still kicking despite 1000+ burns on my 2 main drives

so, at least i know i have got myself a winner waiting for me in the closet...perhaps someday, i'll build a 3rd computer and slap that puppy in there so i can SEE FOR MYSELF what all the ranting and raving regarding this Benq 1640 is ALL about

have a good one my friend.

I just started using Taiyo Yuden media and I successfully backed up four movies today: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Unleashed (Unrated), Undead, and Kicking & Screaming. I'll be doing Kingdom of Heaven tomorrow.
These discs are great! TY is my new best friend. lol

 

welcome to my little club dakotafan~ i am known around these parts as "docTY", leader of the Taiyo Yuden army~ may you have continued success w/ the TYs, let me know if any problems should arise, have a good one~

TYs are MY best friend too~ he's very likeable wouldn't you say? LOL

docTY/ doc Holiday~

 

This isn't true at all. I've been using Prodisc for as long as I can remember. I burn movies, ps2 games and gc games and I've never, not even once had a problem. I get excellent results from jitter tests as well. Many other people besides myself recognize Prodisc as a quality media. So pay no attention to this condemnation of Prodisc.

 

everyone has THEIR OWN opinions regarding media my friend, MANY MANY others here will AGREE with my "condemnation of Prodisc," i AM NOT ALONE in this~ MY experiences with Prodisc myself were NOT as pleasant as YOURS have been~

whatever floats ur boat, everyone has their OWN PREFERENCES on media~

happy burning w/ your Prodisc~

No offense to Made In Taiwan media, but I'm 100% agree with Doc in this case. I would take the Fuji DVD+R "Made In Japan" over the "Made In Taiwan" anyday and anytime period. The Fuji M.I.J is manufactured by Yuden Co. Ltd, code: YUDEN000-T02-000, which is authentic Taiyo Yuden media. However, we're entitled to our own judgment and preferences, so take whatever that you're desire to.

 

@ kivory666 - I agree. Everyone has a different opinion; no need to state it in caps. Anyway, you were stating it as fact that Prodisc is no good so I just wanted to show that there are other views. No biggie.

 

@ gulliver

at least we agree on the "right of one's own opinion", hehe that's about as far as i will go in this discussion about Prodisc's quality, as for me personally, they aren't even in the same league as Taiyo Yuden discs...

lastly, i did not say anything along the lines of, for example, "FACT: Prodisc are BAD MEDIA, stay away at all costs", i didn't even imply something so severe, you obviously took it as such

once again, merely an opinion from PERSONAL experience and also a generalized opinion that many others have had too~

no worries, as agreed upon, i respect your opinion(s) about Prodisc, even though they are completely opposite of mine~

docTY~

 

My personal opinion regarding ProDisc is this: I would purchase them if my only other options were Memorex and TDK.

I haven't even had success using ProDisc made CDs (I got slickered on them, Verbatim was printed on the disc)
