MIJ SONY-branded discs: Sony mediacodes vs. Taiyo Yuden mediacodes?

| If you had to choose between the two flavors of Sony MIJ 16x DVD-R media, one being made by Sony, and the other being made by Taiyo Yuden, which would you choose? The cons against 16x -R TY (TYG03) is that it doesn't burn as well as the 8x -R (TYG02), plus, there are various concerns about bonding issues, which might affect media longevity. Sony-made MIJ media is generally considered to have good bonding, and it burns quite well in quality writers. Has TY slipped so much that one should make the choice of getting Sony MIJ that is not TY, instead of the Sony branded TYG03s? Note, because there are still some folks who are confused, let me make myself crystal clear: we're only talking about Sony MIJ media, which comes in two flavors, a TY version and a non-TY Sony made version. Please refrain from any talk about Sony MIT media. That's not what this is about. Thank you. |

| For 8x, I would definitely go with TY, for the 16x I have been hearing good things about the Sony produced 16x media, so I would probably go with it. I'm partial to the 8x media though given the cost, wide availability of sales, ect. |

Anyway, both SONY16D1 and TYG03 are very good at 16x. The TYG03 at 16x write speed gives lower average PIFs on most of my burners so I would go with TYG03. I'm not too worried about the bonding issue.

| Sony uses the same media codes for both it's MIJ and MIT non-TY media, which is why they are irrelevant. Both the 16x MIT -R and the 16x MIJ -R will have the same SONY16D1 code. The same appplies to the 8x media. |
| A related question... I just bought many spindles of Sony DVD+R media (50 pack spindles) at Staples in the USA. All are MIJ and some are 1x-8x and some are 1x-16x. Besides opening up the package and running a disc through DVD Identifier, does anyone know exactly what the media code is for the media? Could it vary?

| I've seen no evidence that TY G03 burns "worse than" G02. Especially at 16x. At 12x, they are virtually identical in some burners. Don't blame the media for inadequate firmware support. That said, as far I'm concerned, any MIJ media is a good choice, and price would be a bigger consideration than the maker. The differences in burn quality are small, and drive-dependant. |

Am I naiive in assuming, then, that the D21s are presently one's only choice in US Market MIJ 16X +R? As far as the Sony 8x TY +Rs, I have none to analyze. My TY 8x +R experience comes via MIJ FujiFilm discs, MID YUDEN000-T02. K-Probing away at 4x presently - scan up next. ^_^

 What threads are you referring to?Also, you YUDEN00T02 scan is so awful that I'm tempted to think that this is FAKE TY media. Never seen anything but excellent scans from genuine T02.

If you don't see the octagonal spacer with -R Sony media, then it's not TY. This applies to 8x and 16x -R. |

It's like...It makes me feel alive, you know. It makes me feel human. The only way I could feel this sad now is if I felt something really good before. So I have to take the bad with the good. So I guess what I'm feeling is like a beautiful sadness. Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air. I am so glad that GWB's 8 year COD game is finally over. The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them-words shrink things that seemed limitless when in your head to no more than living size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The most important things lie close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays locked within not for want of a teller but for the want of an understanding ear. - Stephen King, intro to "The Body." |
