Hi I bought some EMTEC DVD+R DL DVD’s to make some xbox360 backups. But the disks are hard to read on my xbox or totally not. I used a writing speed of 2x , 2,4x. My burner is a plextor PX-608AL. I did a scan in Nero here are the results.:
I burned some mediarange DVD+R DL dvd’s for a friend some time ago, they all work perfect. The EMTEC’s and MEDIARANGE’s have the same mediacode.

Are these disks bad or what? I know verbatim is the best but they are pretty expensive too.
What regards dual layer recordable media only Verbatim dvd+r dl give good results. Buying others are a waste of money.
Some are also trying out some Falcon dvd+r dl discs, but it seems that the results are not consistent.
Hi,
Emtec is not known for selling quality media.

OK but why do the mediaranges work and the emtecs not?

Maybe the Mediarange were from a better quality batch.
Did you try to do some PI/PO error scans on some of the discs?
When I am in PlexTools Professional it say the drive does not support a PI/PO test.

It does not work because your drive is actually a rebadged Pioneer OEM drive.
Maybe you have a LiteOn dvd writer?
A LiteOn can perform PI/PO scans with Nero DiscSpeed.
I am testing now with a LITE-ON drive

Those PI errors (PIEs) are too high, especially on the second layer of that disc. The maximum PIE should not exceed 280. In addition, there are a couple of PIF spikes which reach into the hundreds. That is simply a bad disc (or more likely a bad burn).
buy some verbs, just ignore the made in india stuff
The scans show the reason why you’re having trouble to read those disc.
Use only Verbatim dvd+r dl media, only those give good results.

What “does work” mean in this case??
Simple rule: Crap in - crap out.
The internet shop where I bought them from is going to test some discs to see if they are bad. Hope their tests result in some bad results then I am going defenetly for the Verbatim discs. I will try to read the other backups and see if they have familiar errors.
What is the mediacode of Emtect DVD+DL can you give it to me?

Do you think they would not sell them anymore?! No way.
