Ok thanks everyone for all of the info. I think i am a little wiser now. i will go look for some 8x ty's. Let's hope my supplier will take the 16x discs back otherwise i certainly do have a lot of coasters.
If it were me and this is what I did to my 1633, I crossflashed it with some patched firmware to a 1653. Made a much better drive out of it imo. Firmware covers more and recognizes more media. Here's a link to the f/w http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html and here's the f/w's you need. Do so at your own risk. The second one will convert led back to light-on way: red burn, green read. • CS0T - patched - crossflashing - fast burn FBD/FBDX (for 1633S, 1653S etc.) • CS0T - patched - crossflashing, multi-colored LED (for 1213S, 1613S, 1633S, etc.)
@aabbccdd The 4x DVD-R (valueline) at SMS can code out as TYG01 as well as TYG02 and TYG03. I guess it's a crap shoot what you really get though.
Dunker yes they can BUT i have gotten 1000s of TYs from supermediastore in the last year or so i havent gotten any TYGO1s in over a year ,they phased them out about a year ago
Thanks MORT81 i crossflashed my firmware to CSOT as you said and i think it has done the trick. Made the burner so much better and i can actually use the dvd's that i have also thanks to everyone else who posted.
