Blank DVD Question

Has anyone had luck with 2nd Class Media working for their final burn. I have RICOHJPNs at my house right now and I am hoping they will work.

Edit: Didn't work. Do you have to use DVD-Rs and not DVD+Rs? And is it normal for my IML file to be only a few kilobytes in size? My ISO is still around 3.5 gigs.

I use Princo DVD-R 4x and they work most of the times. And yes, it is normal.

If you use 2nd class or lower media, then if you do get a "good" disc then it will work just as well as a TY or Verb, the problem is the percentage of coaster material gets higher as you go down the list.

Out of a 100 spindle of garbage media you'll still probably get 3-5 perfectly working burns, but they will deteriorate over time.

With GH being a particularly high demand game (the laser is constantly reading the disc during note scrolling), good quality can be even more important than usual.

and -R's and +R's both work.
