When buying blank media, what brand do you trust?
« on: May 26, 2004, 04:44:15 PM »
I am planning on buying 50 discs of blank CD-R media.  Do you think I should go with Sony brand?

I heard that sometimes the color dye of the disc could be important too....

What\'s your recommendation on these?

Look, CD-R is important too because its playable on CD player. I use it mostly for burning music, dude and back up data.  I just ran out of these discs severa days ago.  And beside, I don\'t have a dvd burner yet.  I used to buy one but have no success burning any discs....it ruined my discs...so i will wait for a while when DVD burner settle down some more and more user friendly.

Uh? You  used to buy one? What the hell are you smoking? And if you buy a good DVD burner, with decent media you  will be set.  As far as user friendly , how much simpler can it get...Load Nero up / add files / click burn.
Sorry if that is too complicated for you.

TDK, plain and simple. For the past year it\'s all I\'ve used for DVD+R and CD-R.

I did burn some home video, but unfortunately I can\'t get it to play on my DVD player.

It have to do with cheap dvd burner, and the media itself...

I tried 3 different dvd burners, and I were unhappy with 3 of them so I returned it.

I like TDK also

Used to blow my money on Memorex but they seem mid grade at best.  Verbatim a tad better.

EMTEC is also pretty good.  Haven\'t had coasters with either brand.

Three different burners, differnt media even. Guess it never occured to you it was either (A) user error or (B) a cheap ass DVD player.

Verbatim >TDK

Heck at one point Tayo-yaden(best CD-R manufacturer in the world) was manufacturing for Verbatim.

^ as long as the burner doesn\'t make coasters and the media is good enough to play in any dvd player, cd rom and Audio player.  I\'m happy with it. :)
