Which brand DVD's do work?

Hello everybody,

I bought a SMDL to play backup games on my cube. It works fine, only I can't find any decent Mini-DVD or normal DVDs to get it working.

I tried 8cm Verbatim mini-dvd-R (Mediacode MCC 02RG20): does not work
I tried 12cm DVD-R TDK (Mediacode TTH02): does not work
I tried 12cm TuffDisk DVD-R (Mediacode MCC 03RG20) : does not work
I tried 12cm Fuji DVD-R (Mediacode RITEKF1) : does not work

Only 1 type worked:

Panasonic LM RF30E (Media Code: Matsuhita Electric Industrial Co.LTD)
These disks work perfect, only these are expensive: 4 Euro each.
I'm using a LG HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4081B.

I also tweaked my laser a bit; It was 205, I changed it to 180.

Ritek G04 are almost impossible to get and the Panasonics are to expensive. Can somebody tell me what media to get? I live in the Netherlands, so a media listed on following site would be great : www.nierle.de

Thanks in advance,

Maurice

 

Have you ever updated the firmware for the burner ? Just may do the trick.

 

Hello,

Yes, the burner is updated to the latest firmware.
