| Hi guys, last month, I ordered 200 prodisc 8x dvd-rs from supermediastore.com 3 of the 4 packs worked great but one 50-packs bundle just did not work. I use a lot of dvd-rs to burn movies in DVD format, however, when I burnt using these discs, I was able to burn them fine but wasn't able to watch any of them when I put them in both of my standalone dvd players. It says "No Disc" in both dvd players. I tried different burning softwares and different movies and the disc burnt successfully but just weren't playeable. I am using an NEC-2150A. My friend's Pioneer DVR-108 burner didn't even recognize the disk when I put different discs from the same bundle in.. it kept on asking to insert media. Anything I can do to get these things to work? -hades Quote:

| Maybe SuperMediaStore will replace them or give you a refund.

. Try to return them! They are obviously defective."Prodisc"? Is this the actual brand on the package?? Never heard of Prodisc-branded MCC02RG20. Could be fakes.

| Have you tried another media in your NEC so you can rule out a hardware problem?

| It's definitely the discs, not my NEC burner. I didn't keep the receipt so, I don't think I can return :-( ehhh... I'm really disappointed at supermediastore.com, I've never had this problem before with them. It says on the label it's Prodisc. I don't think I'm going to buy another prodisc again. |

Prodisc is able to produce OK media, but as a brand I think it's definitly not to be trusted... Without the receipt, you can still try to exchange them for something else.. at least you'll have tried

| Thanks for the help guys, I'll see what I can do by calling them up. |
| Forgot TDK in my list of once-were-reliable...

| I think a friend of mine bought some Prodisc from Supermediastore that had the MCC 02RG20 code... A handful had horrible visual dye defects, maybe it's a batch they made with MCC dye that didn't meet Verbatim's quality standards?

So can JVC. But JVC's media seem to be hard to find in some places. That's. However that one will be hard to find outside Japan. And for +R you could use Ricoh. (Not for -R with the CMC manufacturerd media) Verbatim is probally the most easy to get reliable media. to tehGrue. Hmm let me say this there is a lot of media by Prodisc on the market which shouldn't be there according to MCC/MKM quality standards.

JVC : I'm not convinced. Some JVC discs I've tried here (4X -R, 2X RW) finished in the trash (that was before I knew about manufacturers, quality scans etc... so I can't prove my claims). Many coasters. That's: bring them on!! I wouldn't buy anything else, ever. Sadly, never heard of any being sold out of Japan.Ricoh: as you mention yourself, they have reliable and less reliable discs. That's why I was only mentioning Verbatim... ![]() Cheers

PLextor started with only 4x +R taiyo yuden for 8x they also introduced -R. That's why they only have +R also on spindels. For Plextor taiyo Yuden +R in france I can recommend. (But also Verbatim Pastel and normal Verbatim media) http://www.cdrvierge.com/ Quote:

- actually I was myself referring to their belgium shop when stating that these discs could be found at a lower price than unbranded TY around here.As for JVC, well, difficult to say. You're probably right (you often are.. )

| Actually JVC -R 8X discs are "MJC ME" at present. Very difficult to find reliable infos on this mediacode, at videohelp only 6 comments... and nothing here except questions. No first-hand comments.

| I'm pretty sure the JVC 8x DVD-R 5 pack in jewel cases (model VDR47EU5) is still TYG02. |
| Last disc's I used from JVC ( which was today) dvd-r were TYG02. The 8x -R stuff currently sold is MJC ME ( reports are ok ) or TYG02 (Very good as allways). So far I only can get the JVC Taiyo Yuden -R stuff or the JVC ricoh +R myself and for that I have to pay to much. Thanks to our Dutch levy.

| Current JVC branded media distributed in the USA is trash! They rebadge media from Wealth Fair Investment made in China. I've also checked JVC brand 4x DVD-R in the USA and found it had a MID of ProdiscS03!

| Wesociety, I know the spindle stuff is no good, but last I checked the jewel case 8x -R in the box was TY media, unless something has changed. |
| The 4x stuff that I tried was found in Jewel cases...

| Well, it seems like JVC is not systematically reliable...

| So it seems another companny went cheap and can be removed when it comes to being reliable. So I think we european folks have 2 brands left then. (Verbatim &Plextor)
