I've got 1x-4x "Platinum" (only markings) silver-bottom DVD-R. I bought them for 50 cents each on clearance at a computer store.
I figured, "hey why not?" when buying, but got home to a big mystery.
Anybody out there seen these? Have a clue?
Burning tests right now, so no results to report yet.

Maybe this just the beginning
I can see bottlegers grabbing these up to try to pass them off as being pressed media when they sell their pirated copies on Ebay -
Hey, I bought some of those too, in the +version. I asked the sales guy what brand they were and the brand was some guy's name, Bob Ross or something like that, I can't remember. They burn ok as long as you don't exceed 2 GB.
If it works, don't fix it. -

He use to paint these really kewl mostly outdoor scenes that looked nice but then for "perspective" he would draw a big huge tree that would cover up like a third of the picture saying that it was closer than everything else hehehe

I think I have the same ones, bought them today - not a clue as to what make they are, but cheap. The proprieter's Taiwanese and his english breaks down a bit when you ask him technical questions like "What brand are these?" - he only answers "60 cents each"
but what I'd got from him so far was pretty good. These are dodgy though. I'm trying to decide if it's the media, as I thought it was Nero, but it also failed with DVDFab. Decrypter is next, if that's no good, I guess the search is on for new media.
Lordsmurf, which app was that? Is it the same as DVDInfoPro? -
Nero CD-DVD Speed.
These discs will be used for 1-2 GB one-offs.
Or I may play frisbie with them.
In any case, I'll get $10 out, whether it's in anger or usage.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

thanx! btw, i found out what brand I have, did a google, found one reference that said they were crappy - I've forgotten the brand name, will post when I get home.
From now on, I think I will have to be little less ready to find bargoons... -
I bought these disks too and am having all sorts of problems. I'll never buy them again. I do have a question though. I have a LG4040B dvd burner and use Nero 6.0 to burn. When I put these platinum 1x-4x dvd's in and try to burn somehing with Nero it only gives me the option to burn at 2X. is this just because these are cheap a$$ disks? my other disks seem to all burn at 4X. Thanks for any replys!
