Yes, it is very interesting. I didn't know that dvd+r was more reliable than dvd-r, for instance. It says that the best are made by 'Taiyo Yuden', a name I didn't even know about, but might be sold by verbatim. Hum! I have a box of verbatim that I can not even burn! I have also learnt about "http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm" where there is a list of "Media IDs", so that I can who is the real manufacturer, classified by quality. Let me see what I have. * TDK: CMC MAG/M01 - CMC Magnetics (Taiwan) --> 3rd class. * Memorex: RICOHJPN/R03 - Ricoh, Ritek (Taiwan, Japan) --> 2nd class. * Verbatim 16x: MCC/004 - Mitsubishi Chemicals, --> 1st class. (data life plus) Mitsubishi-Kagaku Media, advnzd AZO+ Verbatim (Singapore, Taiwan, India) So it seems the best I can get, the Verbatim, I can not use because they fail with my LG burner! :-/ Maybe I'll have to test more media... - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
