[QUOTE=KTL;2684594]I don’t think I’ve seen it this bad with a “Pioneer.”[/QUOTE]

I’m not sure if it’s a bad batch of discs or just lower quality, but many of my drives are having trouble burning these well. Mediatek-based drives especially.

Have you had any issues with older MTK-based drives with this batch of MIS media?

PJay-Z · 2013-05-01 15:18:14 UTC

Thanks a lot for the tests
I have this drive too, much better than LG
It would be good if it could support disc quality
Which one is better: 6x CLV or 12x CAV?

I’ve only tried them with a limited number of drives so far. My iHAS422-8 and iHAS524-B do not like them either. NEC-based drives burn them ok, but nothing stellar. These were purchased from Newegg ~ 8 months ago.

Update: I picked up a new batch of the Verbatim 2.4x DVD+R DLs, and they burn much better on all my drives. Guess I had a bad batch.

This is a brand new batch of discs which burn much better than the previous batch I burned (see posts #72-77 in this thread), except at 4x
