Question about what type of DVD's to use

**cdawg132** · Joined: 23 Jan 2007 Posts: 4

Just first let me say yes I did look at the tutorial about the DVD Media ID, but it does not say exactly which ones would work well. I have sony DVD+R right now and it did not work. I was woundering if anyone could suggest a good DVD+R to use. Thanks in advance

Does "+" media even work?
Or is like with -RW's, it works for a lucky few?
I've always used Verbatim DVD-R anyways..

Sony DVD-R works pretty fine for me.

+'s work for me.

But yeah, any Top Tier media in that list will work great, take your pick.

Verbatim 16x 4.7GB DVD+Rs worked perfectly for me. I already went through a 25 pack.

I went and got me a 50 pack of the same kind except these are DVD-Rs.

EDIT: I assume different burners/DVDs require different methods of burning.

If 4x doesn't work, try a bit faster or slower. A 4x burned copy on my DVD+Rs caused them to run slow and choppy, so I boosted it up to 8x and it worked flawlessy. Maybe a bit slower than usual in the loading times, but not dramatically slower or even much noticeably.
