@FredBun
How fast did you burned them? What programs/applications did you used to burn? Again, like the media stated, have you updated your burner's firmware to the latest available? What's your burner's model/brand? In query to dvd burning, it is recommend to always stay on top with firmware, so make sure you updates to the most current on your drive before burning. In addition, even the mdia you're using is 8X or 16X, it's always best to burn them at 4X only.
Keep up posted.

one word to add to alkohol's post, FIRMWARE~!
http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php
if you have an older burner and your Memorex, HP, Fuji, etc ALL work just fine, there is a VERY good chance that your firmware is NOT UP to date to recognize some GOOD QUALITY media :)
what rated speed are the 200 pack TYs you just purchased from SMS.com? i'm assuming the 8x DVD+R w/ YUDEN000T02 coding...

Hello people, 1st I want to thank the people that have responded to my problem about my ty dvd disc's not working, let me respond to the questions you gave me, I have a Compaq Presario, about 3 and a half years old, I ordered it special because I wanted a DVD-ROM and a DVD+RW writer, back than nobody was selling both in a computer not that I have seen anyway, salesman from circuit city told me nobody wants two drives thats why they dont make them, well quess what they all make them now, anyway, the writer is a philips 6200 model that came with the computer, never had any problems, I think the writer has a max speed of 4x, than I dont think anything was faster, but no problem, it takes me to copy a movie from about half hour to 45 min., I always copy my movies on two disc's because I don't like compression so much it might not bother some people but to my eye I can see a difference, I wish I didnt, I use DVDXPlatinum, not the 321 studio, the new one that also offers vidiovault, and by the way, my 321 dvdxcopy that I purchased when it first came out, still works great, the only reason I purchased dvdxplat was because my dvdxcopy started to frezze up, I was getting a lot of coasters, like I said before I still do not understand computers that well, and dvdxcopy is so easy to use, after reading other peoples problems at afterdawn some said that my cpu usage was to high, I said cpu what the hell is that, I did some research and everytime I did freeze up my cpu was to high, I did something I read up on afterdawn, I purchased another ram, I always had 512 and I added another 512, after that my dvdxcopy never froze again, I still use my dvdxcopy more than dvdxplat. because dvdxplat. can be very confusing to use somtime, I still cant figure out its many features, but anyway, I did buy 200 ty's from supermedia.com, they came in 4 packages of 50 each, it was about $80, they are DVD+R 8x, I never use a higher speed cause I cant anyway, my writer is a max of 4x, iv'e used 4x, 8x, 16x dvd's, all worked just fine, except for these ty's, no matter what I do I get errors, also, like I said before, I was kinda suprized that none of those disc's have anykind of labeling, all my hp, memerex, maxell, fuji, are all labeled, are these ty's not being labeled is that comin? also like I said before, the only english part on the package was a caution part, saying firmware might has to be up to date, I don't even know what that means or how to do it, and if I do what if something goes wrong, besides me updating things like my virus software, sypware software and window uptates always have been easy to do with no problems, I have had a bad experince once in updating my easy cd creator when it told me to do so, after updated it my computer went blank, no matter what I did I could not get it going again, thank God my son years back installed Roxio Go-Back, I used it and it brought my computer back to life just like it was before with no problems, thank you go-back, now I'm scared s------s to update anything, it says to go to dvdrwservices.com, man so confusing, but you know what, I have learned more things about computers by logging on to afterdawn than any school could teach me, all the people at afterdawn the members I mean are just great, and I also learned from members at afterdawn was that always make sure your ty disc's are made in Japan and not Taiwan, well how are you suppose to know if nothing on the pakage or on the disc's itself says nothing, sure my invoice from supermedia.com says it's a ty, not from where, so but is it really, anyway, I hope I dint't ger ripped, this is only the second time I have used the forum with afterdawn, I have so many questions but fell so stupid to ask them, especially with my dvdxplat. and videvault, maybe it's time to get of my insecurity and just ask, thank you, Fredrick.

@frederick
there is no need to feel bad about asking your questions, all you simply need to do is ask...i for one am always willing to help when i can with someone as sincere as you~ :)
anyways, being new to computers in general can be quite "scary" at first, we ALL start somewhere, nothing wrong with that at all...
i can see how the whole "firmware" update can seem daunting as there ARE dire consequences if you "flash" it incorrectly; i'm not saying this to further intimidate you or scare you, i am simply letting you know a HONEST TRUTH of the matter...
ok...lemme see if i can link you to the EXACT firmware you need for your particular drive...we can take everything slowly and at the pace you are comfortable with...
i checked at rpc (the link i have from my earlier post) and could not find your philips 6200 drive...i also went the usa philips site and could not find that model number either as a dvd burner, i found others similar but they were either standalone recorders or receivers...weird...
also tried the compaq website, now that they are joined w/ HP, they offer all these links for drivers/software download, but i need to know the SPECIFIC compaq presario model number of your desktop to proceed any further....there is a HUGE list of various desktop models, i have no idea which one is yours...and even so, this doesn't tell me much about your actual dvd burner.. :)
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/swPfinder?query=philips+6200&t...
you say your dvd burner is a Philips brand/model 6200? i'm not at all familiar with Philips products, but i couldn't find it at the firmware website...or on google for that particular model made by Philips...
hmm...perhaps we can back-track and let me know the EXACT model number of your Compaq Presario...and maybe i can find out what drive went into that particular model at time of release/purchase.. :)
lastly, regarding Taiyo Yuden from supermediastore.com, i purchase almost ALL my TYs from them, so, i know for a FACT they sell the genuine thing...and regarding the top label being all in a foreign language...does it look like this?
the top is written in japanese, the one to the left is german, the one to the right is french (i believe) and the bottom description is in english...i went to that website, it offers absolutely NO help at all in terms of firmware for pc drives... :(
those are definitely genuine Taiyo Yudens and they are made in japan, just for your information...despite them not telling you...you can double check any particular disc in the 50-pack spindle and look for this: "TG000xxx" (where xxx is the numerical batch number for when they were made) this coding above will tell you and verify that those are authentic Taiyo Yudens, ALL TYs have a similar coding in both formats...this is found around the inner hub of the disc, it's laser inscribed and is very small, might be difficult to read, but it's DEFINITELY there... :)
i can assist u further once i know the exact model number of your compaq presario or the exact model number of your philips drive, i might be losing my touch, but i couldn't find the 6200 anywhere` :P
hang in there, we will guide you through this...well, i will try my best at least~

Hi Again and thanks for responding again, ok, I did reluctently giggle a bit when I read that you people were puzzled on optaining info about the dvd writer I have, I know because nobody I talk to can answer that question because nobody can't find it either, but believe me it's there, and let me explain a little bit in my version why this may be, remember when I said that I special ordered this computer from circuit city because I wanted a dvd reader and a DVD+RW, which I got, I also purchased with it a 4 year extented warranty that circuit city sells, it's an outside warranty, as much as I hate extended warrantys I did learn when it comes to computers they are worth it especially if you don't know much about them, it has paid off in spades because I called then 4 times since I bought it, they come to my house, I'm a little handicapped so it was well worth it, but there was problems, when they would come they always came with the wrong part, even tought on the phone I always gave them my exact numbers of everything they asked, but the tech still would come with the wrong parts, after he would take the computer apart and see the bad part for himself than he would re-order and with another weeks wait I would finally get it fixed, this happened every time they came, and it wasnt till the 4th time when I finally talked to his parent company and blasted them why do you guys send this man over with the wrong part every time, than that person questioned me on some things and finnaly found out that I ordered this computer special order, he said that's were the confusion comes in, if that'she truth or not who know's, the last time a tech was here was about a year ago and so far so good, the model number for this compaq is presario 8000 series, model number is 8RSXE1, and it's this model number that confuses many people because nobody can find it, also I copyied some of my info from this computer from a site I use called belarc adviser, it's a great site they tell you just about everything that's inside your computer almost down to a screw, you will see I do have a reader and a writer, the reader is a compaq and my writer is a philips DVD6002, and I said it was a 6200, I know idiot me, please forgive me,but I think you will still have trouble finding the 6002 because other peole that try'd failed also, I also looked up the dvdrwservices.com and again it was very confusing, when you go to that site it doesnt guide you anywhere to upgrade a drive, it has all kind's of other info but that, and yes I am kinda paranoid about that because just what you mentioned if not done right i'm screwed, but that's why I'm here maybe you guy's can help by guiding me to do it right, also, you are absolutly right about the picture you sent me, it's exactly the same white cover that lays on top of the ty disc's, and you were also right about the numbers on each disc, my numbers are TG001186, so I guess they are othenthic, than you so much for that, it still baffles me why all my other disc's work but not these ty's, and even my hp disc's which I only got a couple of weeks ago still work fine also, meaning maybe newer disc's e.g. like 6 months ago maybe to present thinking I might need somekind of upgrade with new disc's, but no, I still have disc's I bought a year ago and present one's and all work except for these ty's, (intersting), my mind just says go figure. now here is what I am pasteing just to give you a little idea whats inside my computer, and again, I thank you people so much for your help, Fredrick.

Hey, check this out... I tested one of my ridisc dvd-r 8x discs that have a cmc mag AE1 code... these are the discs I used to use sometimes.
Not bad eh?
This is the full scan
[edit]
Just to clarify, I don't use these discs anymore, but though it interesting that they got a higher quality rating than the Taiyo yudens, verbatim or ritek that I use now...

Here is the link for you to get the latest firmware version for your drive: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_result.php?kaj=1&isces
It does make a difference which order the numbers are in. This drive was easy to find with the correct information.
I would update my firmware and then try the TY's. I think you will find that they work.
Cheers.

Does anybody know of a program that will do a disc quality check on an LG DVD drive? From what I have read in here Nero won't do it and I don't think DVDInfo Pro will either.

An error I think. DVDSpeed does not support disc quality tests with LG drives hence the use of a Liteon to test discs burned with the LG.

I have a question Alkohol. For most of your Scans, it seems like the High Grade Maxell has fewer P.I. errors and failures than the Yuden's, so why do you prefer the Taiyo Yuden's? I myself have burned 60 PS2 games to TY's, and they all play perfectly. There's no way I'd settle for anything else at this point. FYI I linked to this thread in my PS2 FAQ. Keep up the good work.

@Tokijin
Sup buddy? Yes, it is true that most (nearly) all of my scans on Maxell's High Grade (made in Japan by Hitachi Corp.) has less PI Errors than the majority (my scans) of Taiyo Yuden and Verbs. On the other hand, I think my YUDEN000T02 and MAXELL002 are on par in query to PI Failures and Quality Scores.
However, most of them (including YUDEN, VERBS and MAXELL) will have 2 PIF and 95 Quality Scores, that is, of course outstanding. For some reason the Verbs has more PI Errors than both YUDEN and MAXELL, but PI Errors shouldn't really matter (just a little), what counts the most is PIF and Quality Scores.
You said; "why I prefer Taiyo Yuden?" Actually, I like/prefer them equally YUDEN, Verbatim and Maxell. Somehow, I guess it's because I first experienced YUDEN before Maxell and Verbs. Even when I first started burning audio CDs and DVDs, I knew it from the beginning that "Made In Japan" will top any other places else (no disrespect to M.I.T here). With that being said, my "top priority" is to always look out for "Made In Japan" on the FUJI media (that's locally), which later I found out that it's manufacture is Yuden Co. Ltd., and of course, that is a genuine YUDEN media. Perhaps, I like to have more than just one kind of high quality media -- it simply is another extra backup preference for the media technologies, incase the other manufacture literally go bad, and or the stores is out-of-stock that's all.
In contrast, with Yuden, Verbs, and Maxell, I can just pick up any if the other is not available, know what I mean. I hope you get my drift now, but honestly I dig them all equally.

Gotcha. Taiyo Yuden is awesome. No way I'd switch. I don't trust Verbatim after they switched from MCC to CMC Mag briefly. I guess either is good though. One other question: I use the quick scan on Nero CD-DVD Speed. It seemed to me that it's 3 or 4 points above what the full scan gives for it's quality score. I'm just not patient enough to wait on the full scan. Is that consistent with your findings?

Yep.... Taiyo Yuden ROCK!! Quick scan will do a quick scanning only, it will not be as precise as when you do a "full scan". To get a true scanning results, you need to scan at "full scan" at the actual speeds that you burned your media with.
All you really care is make sure your PIF is no more than 4 or 5. Anything 1 - 3 on PIF should be consider decent or high quality.
Oh, by the way, yes.... you can link my thread with those useful links of yours alright.

I'm not sure exactly, but I think the advanced user crap is for liability purposes. At least with my drive, upgrading was a snap. I upgraded my Sony DRU 810A to firmware upgrade 1-d. I downloaded the file, unzipped it, made sure my drive was empty, shut everything down and ran the exe file. I rebooted and it was done, simple as that. Now I have a newer burner, so it may not be like that for all of them. I know my way around a PC, but it didn't seem hard to me. Just make sure you are 100% sure what you're doing.

no worries, just make sure you DO NOT power off your computer during the flashing process...this is one of the EASIEST ways to fry your drive and that's what all those warnings are about...
but, the actual flashing process is simple and straight forward...
once you click on it, save it to your computer...once it's done downloading, double click the .exe file and follow the prompts...it should only take a few minutes...just make sure you DO NOT POWER DOWN during the flash, that's the only REAL threat of rendering your drive useless...
after you see the "success" or "firmware updated"...or something along those lines, THEN reboot...and you're set and ready to go...
good luck, no need to really worry, it gets more complicated when you cross-flash with another drive's firmware and or use modified firmware as i've done w/ my Pioneer...but, with a simple FACTORY/OFFICIAL firmware...it's a piece of cake~

Hi It's Fredrick again, OK, I read the last answers, I have several questions left than maybe I might have the guts to give this a shot, when you say make sure the drive is empty I assume you mean there are no disc's in it, I'm still a little confused when I read about using extension files etc., because when I click on 1.51 and I hope thats the one I should choice, it has the regular download page, run, save, etc., I am familiar with downloading, I usually click on save than put it in my download folder I created a while back, than click run when need it, is that all it is to it, after reading your answers the way you discribe its like there's more to it than just a reg. download, or do I just click to download, save and run it and that's it?, and what do you mean by do not power down during flash, and whats flash, also, when you say as long as this download is factory official firmware is what I pasted up above just that?, and if after I can do this succefully I'm hoping that my writer doesnt not regognize my other disc's like my hp's, fuji's, maxi's etc., and by any chance since I still use my dvdxcopy from 321 studios and dvdxplat from x copy software will upgrating this firmware have any kind of an affect on them, and last, can you please expalin these things to me like your talking to a kid, remember as we grew up, we read books like watch dick run, lol, cause when your computer stupid like me thats the way I need things explained to me, OK, hope this is my last request for info, I quess I'm starting to be a pain in the butt by now to you good people, than you, Fredrick.

man thats a long winded sentence. only one period in place.
no disk in drive while updating.
no power failure, in other words, hope you are not doing it during a lightning storm or happen to have a power outage, it will render your drive useless.
it will not affect any downloaded programs.
and should give you the ability (well your burner) to read more media thats available to you.

Yes, just download the latest firmware update to your download folder or desktop. Close all other programs. Remove discs and floppys from the drives if you have them full.
Double click on the downloaded firmware file.
It will either self install or provide you with a couple of steps to do.
Once it is done you should get notification of success.
Now reboot the computer.
It is really very easy. You can Do It!

u 2 are secret online-lovers~:)
LOL
anyways, exactly what gear said & 9mm elaborated on...make sure no dvds (blank or original) are in the drive while flashing (upgrading the firmware)...most likely it's a self-install file you download into your folder of choice onto hard drive (you said you created a downloads folder, put it in there)....
good luck, nothing more i can really elaborate on...gear and 9mm took care of this one nicely~ :)
docTY~
