Best buy for Taiyo Yuden -R

[rrtbusa]

I'm new here ,but learning ALOT from this board quick. I first had trouble with a certain Media,But after buying a 15 pack Of Maxel -R from Wal Mart (made in Japan) My Hx-900 hasn't missed a beat. I've read alot of VERY GOOD info on Taiyo Yuden DVDs. I saw i can get the Taiyo Yuden -Rs from Supermeidastore.com(https://www.videohelp.com/forum/posting.php?mode=newtopic&f=27) And was wonerding is this the Taiyo Yudens i want--Media Type: DVD-R
Native Capacity: 4.7 GB / 120 Minutes Video
Format: DVD-R -General Purpose (8x)
Remarks: Taiyo Yuden DVD-R with Silver Thermal on 50 disc spindle.
Do i have to Question anything else??It come to .49cents a disc,I just don't want to buy the wrong spindle.
Whats the other Taiyo Yuden DVDs white inkjet hub printable? What those used for?

Both the ones you have listed and the White Printable, can be printed on with certain Printers.
You can also get the TY's at

I too have started using TYs. I was using the Prodisc 8X white hub printables, but switched to the TYs because there have been too many problems with the white printable Prodiscs.

The hub printables will allow you to print all the way to the small "open" circle in the middle of the discs. Those are the ones I use from TY - they're more expensive (around .68 from rima.com), but they're certainly worth it.

The white inkjet discs will allow you to use an inkjet printer (like the Epson R200) which has the capability to print on a CD/DVD - they come out looking like the regular retail movies. The silver thermals are for thermal printers - I don't recommend printing on them with an inkjet printer. Rima.com has the best prices and reputation. Hope that helps, good luck!

"buying a 15 pack Of Maxel -R "

Doesn't mean they are TY. I got some too, 8x, turned out to be Hitachi, even though it said made in japan.

The discs that you got have the MXL media code which is equivalent to TY. No need to worry about it.

Is there anywhere I could get a test pack of TY? I would hate to buy a 50 pack and not have them work properly.

DVD Identifier is also good. Nero CDDVDSpeed - www.cdspeed2000.com - will also work.

www.rima.com sells sample packs (combo of different media they sell). Supermedia may also offer sample packs.
