TYGO1 problems ?!?!?!

[realdeech]

I thought these were supposed to be like some of the best...however, I just picked up a pack of 15 Maxell DVD-R and of six burns, only one has turned out so far...Am I out of it and are TYGO1s no longer top quality?

[lordsmurf]

I'd say the errors do not lie with the disc. Details.

And this is not "news".

Only one has turned out you say? Could your drive be eating the discs?

I have an old VCR that likes to eat tapes...

I've burned about 40 ty g01s, and haven't had a bad burn yet. My kprobe scans are quite remarkable, actually.

Either you got a bad batch, which I doubt, or you have a bad burner.

[budz]

would be helpful to tell us what software you're using to backup your dvd movies.

I'd say that the errors do lie with the discs, that informational sites like nomorecoasters.com are not accurate and I do have a bad batch.
Before this, I'd burned more than 100 discs using the TDK 840G, ripping with Shrink and burning with Intervideo DVD Copy.
And I realize it's not as exciting news as the name of the new Star Wars movie, but don't you think users should know that TYGO1 can be problematic? Don't I have a right to ask if anyone else has problems?
Then again, if the post gets censored and shoved into a corner, people don't find out that nomorecoasters.com is inaccurate.

No censorship here.

Of thos 100+ disks you have burnt, were any/all TYGO1? Could it simply be a drive/media compatibility problem?

[lordsmurf]

A post count of 6. Attacking me. I smell another shill.

BS post, nothing to see here people, move on.

If he'd actually read nomorecoasters, he'd have seen a paragraph where it talks about a bad spindle of TY and perfect spindles of CMC. The exceptions.

[Capmaster]

I think the problem is something besides the media. I recently finished a 100 spindle of Maxell (TYG01 media ID) and it is by far the best media I've ever used. Not a single coaster.

Maybe yours was the exception, as Lordsmurf says, but it's a bit premature to be announcing a "problem with TYG01" simply because you made a few coasters.

[RottenFoxBreath]

id be more inclined to say that its hardware and software related.
and im leaning towards maybe an outdated firmware for the media.

[PJGS]

I've burned 100's of MCC and TY and not a single issue yet.
I believe that's a hardware prob that u have.

[zod5000]

it might help if you actually mentioned what kind of hardware your using. Ie the kind of DVD drive. I grabbed 3 25 packs of the maxell's with tyg01 media code on them from future shop last week. I'm still working through the last of my riteks, so hopefully when i get to the maxells they'll work.

I use an lg gsa-04040b burner. Its a rather picky burner as to what it'll actually burn at 4x

you might also want to try burning the discs at 2x. I had a bad spindle of riteks once, and they worked fine when i burned them at a slower speed. I know you're problem is with TY's, but it might be worth a shot.

[Myrdhinn]

He said he has a tdk 840g. On doing a quick qoogle search all i see are complaints about that burner with media/software incompatibilites with progs like intervideo etc. Seems some are solved using the latest firmware so I too would suspect his is outdated.

It's funny how the only major place I have ever read a negative thing about TY is on nomorecoasters and yet you make it sound like lordsmurf is being bribed. He clearly mentions bad batches. But, your problem does not sound like a media issue necessarily. Has other media worked better? Maybe it is a compatiblity issue. Software maybe? I think TY deserves better than to jump to conclusions.

[agenthex]

While we are on the subject of TY's, I do notice that they tend to have subpar scratch coating. The samsung branded ones I have are very suseptible to scratches, more so than ricohjpn's.

Maxell switched to these TYG01s and now my Panny E80H won't burn them. The old Maxells as well as things like the E3 -Rs burn just fine. I guess some drives don't like them or don't have updated firmware (such is the case with the Panny DVD Recorders). They work fine in my Pioneer A05 and LG 4040B. Any ideas what other discs work well in the E80H?
