What's the media code on them? If it's CMC then it's junk media.
check the media section on this site.

no one knows for sure the lifespan of dvd media. according to the dvd media section it says the media is good on dvd & pc reliability & burning reliability is mixed.

if you want good quality dvd media to store data and movies then purchase TAIYO YUDEN discs from RIMA.COM. as the old saying goes, "YOU PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET".

Isn't it "You get what you pay for" ?

HotDamnItzDavid it's safe to say you all know what I meant. For a newbie to this forum site you're quite a wiseguy.

SONY 08D1 seems like good media from what I've seen off Japanese DVD burning sites.

[deejay.2001]

so how good those sony 08D1 are?

comparatible with verbatim and maxell and taiyo yuden?

are those sony better than ritek G05?

thanks guys

[lordsmurf]

They're probably as good as SONY04D1 was (4x DVD-R). They were quite decent.
