Okay, here’s the deal. Burned three discs, same content (old movie) with ImgBurn on Samsung SH-S203N, Samsung SE-[B]S184M/B and a BenQ DW1650. All burns at 4x.
Media; RICOHJPN-D01, MediaRange branded.
Disc burned on BenQ is the only one I can watch on my TV when played in my standalone DVD players.
Note, my aged NEC ND-3500 will also burn this media readable, but when watching on TV movie skips.
What’s your experience with Samsung burners and crap DL media?
.
That bored, huh? 
Sorry, I don’t feed that crap into my burners to test them. I’d more likely to keep the spindle container than the discs.

I don’t think that RICOHJPN-D01 or even CMC MAG-D0x is crap , they are about the same quality as MKM-00x , it is burners that are more optimized for MKM DL media because maybe it is complicated and expensive for ODD manufacturers to optimize their burners for more than one DL MID 
On the other hand , I don’t like my 203 because all my other burners produce much nicer burns !
I think that CMC MAG D04 is the only CMC MAG D0* media that is worth to be bought yet.
I don’t think the 8x +RDL Ricohs are crap but there seems to be a rather wide variance in quality available.
My Samsung sure has no problems with them, even at full speed:

[U]Pinto2:[/U] Is there any “Made in” info on your mediarange discs or packaging? I’ve been using Made in Japan and India Ricohs with good results, but there also seems to be a Made in Taiwan variant.

As said, they are MediaRange (mediarange.de) branded and member [I]dakhaas[/I] thinks they can be made in China or Macao, linky.
