are TDK dvd-r discs crap?

[Richard]

I have burned Verbatim, Ritek, Princos all with no problem on my Pioneer A05. Just burned two different movies in a row on TDK's, both with massive pixalation, stuttering and blocking at the very start (first five minutes) of the movie, then ok after that.
Are TDK crap or what?

I've never used TDK before, but from what I hear from a lot of people, TDK is "normally" very high quality media.

Last week I bought thirty of the TDK 4x DVD-R from CompUSA and they work and look fantastic.

I have to agree with Bob W...

I have burnt over 30 of these babies and not one coaster.

Did you rip/burn/author/.../ the same with as before?

[Richard]

yes, used the same procedures as before.
Just burned the same thing on a Pioneer DVD-RW, and
no issues.
Oh well, I'll stick with discs that work on my system.

good idea. Just because some have had success doesn't mean all will...
