Best Brand of DVD Disc (Media)

[wikki]

---

the best thing to do is buy 1 of each and try it out. use qsuite tester or other dvd write testing tool kung stable gana ang media then maka pasar sa testing ok na na. i used the cheap generic 4x -R for backingup files and data. ok raman so far. :P pero kung other stuff like movies and etc. i dont trust those cheapies enough.

That's not the one... To get the media id get programs like dvdinfopro or just get dvd decrypter to get the media code... For DVD Decryter, the media id code would be like "Disc ID: CMC MAG-E01-00" on the info panel on the right side. The red part is main id code.

For more info guys about brand vs media id (when choosing dvd media), please go to http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm to be better informed.

The reason I ask about the media code is because of this...

Fakes

Luckily, it does not happen often, but it does happen often enough to be a major annoyance to media buyers everywhere. Most fake media comes from Hong Kong, as a general rule. Fake media tends to float around Europe and Asia more than it does the USA. Fake media is normally sold in flea markets, on eBay and online. Major brand name media sold in stores is probably never going to be fake.

TYG02 = This was faked by INFOSMART (Hong Kong) in 2004-2005. Some OPTODISC media was also reported to carry this code. Mitsui is also faking them in their USA and Europe plants. The fakes are rumored to be for "improved 8x media detection" but low quality media is low quality, regardless of the media ID.
