My work sweet, no probs @ all.

May I ask where you got them ? I need some more and no one seems to have any

the thing with bulpaq disks are that they all have different batch numbers & some have different dye types! My friend had the same bother with them on his ao5 but they work fine on the ao4 which is a great shame as these disks actually look & feel better than the older ones. I think the dye type on these disks are TDK but they may differ from batch 2 batch.

Had the same problem last week. Disks burnt well, but stuttered or stopped half way through play back.

I did note that whereas all my previous batches of green Bulkpaq had a white ring around the hub of the disk, these had a transparent ring.

I sent them back and got a full refund. Apparently it is well known that a large batch of faulty disks were introduced to the market, but not recalled by the manufacturer.

Not trying to provoke you but for a business shouldn't you be using higher quality media and passing the cost on to the customer?

datasafe classics work ok in the ao5 2 speed disk but I tend to stick to 1 speed as its sorta cheaper I've contacted bulkpaq before regarding there crap media & well they just dont reply!! so I chose another brand of disk..

most of the expensive disks work a treat but the cheaper ones tend to be a bit crappy!!

white label work ok (princo)
datasafe & datawrite media ok (princo)
zero defex media ok (vivistar, ritek, tdk)
ritek based dvdr's are perfect
datawrite/datasafe classics ok (tdk dyd)


these all currently work fine on the ao5 for data & video


Kev!

There is or was a problem with these discs, there was a batch that were consigned to the furnace that some bright spark decieded to put into the marketplace the key to identifing them is that the bad ones do not have the white plastic ring in the cake boxes. As someone said earlier.
I have used these disks before and after my crap 25 and apart from the crap batch that I had these are generally great media.
I have a 105 with firmware at 1.21.
