Fujifilm 8x DVD+R at Bestbuy...no media code?

[snek11]

Just bought a few 100 packs of Fujifilm 8x dvd+r at Bestbuy, made in Japan. No media code comes up for it...any sees these before?? Haven't tried to burn, thinking about just returning my spindles.

[budz]

what program did you use to try to see the media code?

Just bought 285 dvd's for $42.00 @ OD , I dont care what the mdeia code is.

[koolaidwa]

yea, those would be the ty media

and for the 285 guy, i hope they where at least 8x and i hope u get no coasters

[jaxxboss]

LOL. they are 8x inded. Heck, I also got two 25 packs of the RW's for $10.00. That's 50 dvd+rw for $10.00 and change

1) The 8X Fuji DVD+R discs are usually media code YUDEN000T02.
However, try this 30 day trial of DVDinfo-pro to identify your discs:

2) The OfficeDepot deal for 285 Ridata DVD+R discs (RITEK R03) for $42
is *not* functional in the SF bay area.... we always get screwed on
these national chain store deals.

Did I miss something? What's the deal with that?

Turn one over and just inside the brighter blue circle there will be printing starting with TG00 followed by 4 more numbers if it's TY.

You can actually see this backwards through the packaging in the silver top ring.

I'm looking into buying these. Does anyone have a media code? Or better yet, anyone try them with a Sony Dru-500a?

[dmagic1]

Too bad I can't find a location that has 19 spindles instock.

*Update*
Found one but I had to get 11 +R and 8 -R. I wanted all +R.

No reason to order 19 unless you want to use the $10 off coupon. The 50% will still apply, if your store let's you buy them. It's just another pricing error.

I got Fuji Film "up to 8x" +R's from Best Buy a few months back.. On the outside "Made in Japan," they were YUDEN000T02 media code.

I had mixed/poor results in my DRU-500a with firmware 2.1a. Gave the rest to my friend with an 8x Sony burner, he had no problems.

Since I've switched back to RICOJPNR01 media code, I have not burned a coaster yet.

Unless I got a "bad batch" of TY's, I'd have to say this drive/firmware just doesn't like them for whatever reason.

[koolaidwa]

yea, ty is great media but not all drives like it lol

and not ever batch will be the same too lol


i found that out the hard way
