Unreliable DVD’s

You’ll like those Taiyo Yuden disks, I use those and they work very well.
Using a Plextor PX-716A drive (and Nero) they burn at 16x with great reliability. Sound strange you say? 🙂 The algorithms used by Plextor for their intelligent “unknown brand” methods were developed with the help of Taiyo Yuden, so needless to say they burn known Taiyo Yuden discs very well. Plextor comes with software to measure error rates on the burnt disk. Burning the 8X Taiyo Yudens at a x16 rate (which btw REALLY burns at 7~8x most of the time, going up some from there only on the disk’s outer area) show a VERY VERY low data error rate (errors before correction, it’s “none” after correction). A very impressive disc/burner combo. FWIW. Burning ’em slow probably makes it super-incredibly good.

Gary,
Actually once I saw that I had a defective one by previewing it…I inspected the burned surface. I could see a few “dark” spots in the area of the burned section. Some had a few spots, others only had one spot. But it they had this spot at all, they would not play right. So I made it a habit to take a look at the surface of every one I burn now. I just hold it under a light and take a quick look. And like I stated, this only happened with a few out of one spindle. Never had a problem before or since. -
