. I would put the quality of their 8X DVD+R DL's in the same league as good Verbatims. The MID of the DL's is RICOHJPN D01. You'll have to let us know where you're located to help you find a place to purchase them .

| Thanks I ordered 10 DVD+R DL from duplication.ca if my Wii and DVD players like them then I will use them for all my DL needs since people say Verbatim quality has gone downhill since moving production to India and Ritek just flat out sucks |
| Just found this list of all their distributors http://www.falconrak.com/agents_and_distributors.html |
| I see duplication.ca is currently the only shop that has the 16x +R, -R and the CD-R Diamond Silver Pearl Inkjet Printable discs. I have ordered both the 16x +R and -R for testing and they will be here Friday. Hopefully someone else in the US will start to carry all these Falcon brands as I think they have a chance to become quite popular in the near future from the results we have been seeing. |

![]() Thank you for your answer. i don't believe that anyone in Europe (at least in Portugal) is getting their hands on Falcon media. Portugal is a small market and Falcon is not very known here. i hope maybe some UK sellers start selling Falcon media and i can get it... ![]() Anyway i'm very greatful for your time and kind ![]() All the best for you

| The problem with looking for sellers of falcons website is that they seem to primarily list trade distributors, agents and so on. Not too many places seem to sell in consumer-size amounts IIRC.

| I just got a couple samples from CD Dimensions (thanks!). Code is TTH02. Burned 1 with Optiarc 7200. Scan scores were 97 with the 7200 & 95 with the rebadged Liteon Optiarc 7220. Truth is, the 97 is the best score I've seen in awhile on any dvdr. My question/concern is that in my limited experience, TDK branded dvdr's haven't been real good to put it nicely (though it's been several years since I tried one). My first experience with dvd burning several years ago was with Richoh coded Maxell's (all discs went bad within 6 months) & CMC coded TDK's (really low scores). To those more knowledgeable then me (which on this subject is likely most of us!), what is your opinion in general of TTH02 dvdr's? I'm thinking seriously about placing an order, but again am concerned that it's TDK related. |

? Been 1 year since my first Falcon DL burn, and discs haven't degraded at all yet. Looks encouraging.

| I only was able to really test 1 of the 2 samples as the 2nd arrived really scratched, but based on the 1 good burn & comments here, I'll likely try a batch of 100 dvdr's. Still haven't decided whether to go with Falcon or TY for my next batch of cdr's. |
| [QUOTE=deanwitty;2258810]Just checked back to discussion about this I was having w/ jubjubbird in the Falcon 8X DL thread, and found that two sources I had found with Falcon's help are still selling them. Verity systems http://www.mediaprovisions.co.uk/cgi...0518#aOE100518 , and Cybercentrale, http://www.cybercentrale.com/dvdr-pr...c-865_867.html , who also carries Falcon 16X DVD-R sl's. Don't know their shipping policies. Hope this helps .Thank you very much, deanwitty ![]() Verity Systems only ships to UK and Cybercentrale only ships to France ![]() Again, thank you very much for your help

| I would also like to hear some of the experts chime in on the TTH02's, are FTI using their own Dye? They are just using the TDK stampers right? I think the Dye is/was the problem when they were made by TDK, I hope so because I prefer -R and most of my burners like the 16x -R. Quote:

| Thank you pepst, so is it just better quality control (thus far) from FTI or could we have the same degradation problems as some had with TTH02? I know it might just be a wait and see but I am asking anyway ![]() Quote:

And if I remember correctly, these "bad" MBI made TTHs went bad in just a few months, almost like a Ritek G05s. My oldest FTI made media are more than one year old and they have absolutely no signs of degradation so far.

| That is good to hear if it was the bonding that was the issue because i would like to start using these for Video Backups along with my Verbatim's. I have some other TTH02 (Optical Quantum) that are still fine from almost 2 years ago but never burned anything like these FTI. Thanks for the valuable info pepst! Quote:
