    Moo Yooz,
    Been using 4X Taiyo Yudens without problems for some time.
    Suddenly I have a problem.
    Can’t burn to them.
    Burner is Pioneer DVR-107d.
    Updgraded firmware but to no advantage.
    Burning unsuccessfully from DVD-A and a thing called “Record Now”.
    And while I can’t burn to the TYs, I can burn to an old 4X Memorex DVD-RW.
    Seems strange doesn’t it?
    Any thoughts for the Ole Master Burners in the community?

    Just sounds like a bad batch of discs.

    I’ll fish them out of the waste basket, put ’em on a spool and see if I can get supplier to come good.
    Is there an acid test I can perform to see if these discs are faulty?

    Seriously though,—how does one determine if a disc is good or not?

    Did it record? It is good. Did it not record? it isn’t good.
    That is the test I give them. don;t buy cheap discs tho so never have any trouble.

    Have always used Taiyou Yuden.
    Highest quality and am at a loss to explain these failures.
    Never a problem with this blank media before this.
    Just bought another spool,—talk about loyal.
    Ready to try a test burn.
    Stand by.

    OK.
    New spool of Taiyo 8X.
    One failutre.
    Message in mid-burn tells me to use another media OR writing speed.
    Was burning at 4X.

    Used same media, Taiyo 8X,—-burned at 8X.
    Success.

    Only thing different is writing speed.
    This make sense to anybody?
