I'm about to purchase my first batch of Taiyo Yuden's(I currently use Maxell coded Ritek). My question is: there seem to be so many different media codes under TY, i.e. TYG02, TYG01, etc. Is there a better one to buy? And also, DVD+, or DVD-?
lube99 -- Not sure about different codes, but I do know that if your burner can make the DVD+R booktype to DVD-Rom then that is the way to go--I always buy them from Supermedia Store to make sure that I get authentic TY's--because I do know that there are fakes out there--Good Luck Whitfield
lube99, The TYG01 are for speeds up to 4x, TYG02 are for speeds up to 8x, and so on. So in all probably the TYG02, or TYG03=16x would be your best bet. However, this forum suggests keeping burn speeds down to 4x. HTH, Rich
@lube99 Here you can find everything you want to know about TYs, from the docTY: http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/296925 Also, depending on your burner and firmware update, you might get better result burning @X8 with media rated X8 or X16. Read that forum and you will get a lot of info.
