New Prodisc media codes S05 and F02 (12x)

[stiltman]

Has anyone seen the new media codes yet? I noticed they were just added to the media list on http://www.drvupdate.com/ (Emprex)

Edit: both are -R

[lordsmurf]

Asia usually gets new media several months before USA, and USA is usually several months ahead of Europe.

[SPIFF-DVD]

Those should be 16X -R, at least ProdiscF02 is.

[stiltman]

where did you get them? how good are they?

Did you add it to the new media?

[Toaster]

Are they available in PRINTABLE ?

[Bodyslide]

I'm almost out of my current stock of Inkjet Printables, would be nice to see when and where I can try some of these.

[lordsmurf]

Maybe F02 inkjet is better than F01 ... we can only hope.

Maybe F02 inkjet is better than F01 ... we can only hope.

I couldn't be any worse unless they do it on purpose. I had never actually seen printable surfaces seperate in the drive until F01s.

[Fandim]

Curious that the write strategy is 4x though.
