bulkpaq orange

[thespook]

Be a bit careful of the bulkpaq orange 4x, I have been using tese disks with no problems for quite some time, but amongst my last lot there were 25 that would only burn at 1x speed. The centre part should be white but on these ones it was silver, they were marked up 4x and apart from the silver inner looked identical to the 4x ones.

What's the media ID code?

[thespook]

cannot find any media code on the duff disks

How are you looking for it ?

You need to use something like DVDinfo Pro or something similar. If it genuinely does not have a media code, it will report back something along the lines of "media ID not allowed", in which case that might explain a lot !

This is all the info I can find, They are marked up 4x on the disc and my writer is a 4x writer

Problem solved - PRINCO !

The quality of these can be good... but more often than not they are a bit flaky. I have certainly had mixed results from those guys.
