thanks for the kind words matt72, i am very glad that some of my info has proven helpful in your learning process, while i might not know much about all the various burning/ripping/authoring programs out there, my specialty is DEFINITELY MEDIA~ i have tried just about every single kind out there within my 2-3 years of backing up my own dvd collection, so i usually recommend to others what has worked best for me. that being said, with THOUSANDS of burns on Taiyo Yuden and almost a thousand with Verbatim...i have narrowed it down to those 2 that i personally regard as being of the highest quality.
there are naturally other good ones out there-ie. maxell, ritek; but i keep my recommendations somewhat biased because if after a thousand burns and the quality has still remained the same, TY and Verbatim have definitely got my vote for quality, reliable media :)
i have a few hundred Ritek G05s that are great too (from 2 years ago mind you), and a hundred plus of the maxells which seem to be good as well (that i just burned recently within the last 2 months).
i learn new stuff whenever i am on AD, there is just a huge wealth of info on here, this is a great site~ :)
time to get back to some more burning...good luck to you. happy burning~
