As it was Australia day today I spent my time chatting online.I caught up with my mate in NSW and I mentioned to him that I was now using Ritek GO5`s which are MCC dye...
O no he said, my supplier told me to stay away from MCC crap and only use CMC MAG . Why did he advise this? Because that`s the crap they sell. LOL

I think that supplier is full of Bull Sh*t! LOL
Maybe that supplier is dyslexic? Pretty easy to mistake CMC for MCC,just by switching around a letter.
For all 3 of my Benqs,the scans of MCC-004 verbs at 12x are a heck of a lot better than the 4x scans of Cmags. It's not even close. And believe me,some of those picky players will have a harder time reading Cmag backups.

It would seem that CMC MAG are only crap in the rest of the universe..Here in Australia the Dude rates the Aussie ones as the best media money can buy. Whatever the "Aussie ones" are I am yet to find out.

Indeed odd. But mind you I've heard rumours that those CD Freaks forum guys rave about CMC as well. :-S Back! Back I tell you! (As CMC DVD's come rolling for my burner) Nooooo!

"Aussie Ones" are,as I said ,somthing I need to find out about..As too what they are,where they are manufactured etc..My opinion is that they are just the same universal junk that is so much loved on here.

Regardless of how your supplier feels about cmc mag media (which is garbage by the way) he has no bussiness putting down MCC media. MCC is grade A top quality stuff and I can gurantee you fewer people have problems with MCC than they do with cmc. Verbatim MCC 003's are all I use with never any freezing, pausing, pixelating, or other playback problems.

I have found a use for CMC MAG disks....
Make sure that the copy of your wedding video which you give to your ex-wife is recorded on CMC MAg AE disks, record at the maximum burning speed, record all the way to the edge, and use a stick on paper label which is pasted on off-center, tell her to store the disk on the dashboard of her car....should prove interesting

I think the dude plays with himself too much, I live in Australia and before I found AfterDawn I used CMC Crap and wondered why I had bad burns, coasters, and DVD's that wouldn't play after a few months.
After lurking here for a few days I found out why (Thanks Guys) and haven't had a single problem since changing to a decent media.
Obviously there must be a bigger profit margin in selling CMC's to users who don't know any better. LOL

CMC?? Yeah, that stuff is GRRRRRRREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAATtt!! Not for movies, but they make some of the best coasters in the world. I excrement you not.. You know, CMC might be doing us a small favor. They are why i came to this place, and many other ppl have learned a bunch about DVD ripping just because of CMC. Hey, maybe one day they will give a sh*t about their dye, and might even start making good media. Yeah, probably right when pigs sprout wings and fly. No, the bottom line is they have found a way to make this stuff cheap, and sell it like it is gold or something.. Big profit margin, and once they have the profit, they dont care if it is crap, they got their money.. Since some fools think CMC is great, they can get away with selling tons of the stuff. I guess the general public could care less about media manufacture, and only care about a cheap price.
Good, let the un-informed masses have them. Ppl in the know, know to use good media, and CMC aint it..:)
And TDK is not rated as highly in this forum. I know doc a.k.a. Kivory666 hates TDK media WORSE than CMC (i find it difficult to believe there is worse media than CMC). I have burnt some TDK and they seemed ok, but i have also seen many nero burn logs where TDK media was the main reason for burn fail. I would stay away from them and stick with Verbs and Tys.

I don't think CMC make all that great of a coaster. They have those holes in the center, water just leaks through. So w/ those holes CMC are COMPLETLY worthless.

Hey glueeater, i think you are using too small of a shot glass. :) Mine fits right over that hole and the liquid never seems to get in to the small hole. I have 3 of them sitting on my computer desk, and they are doing great. When they get too crappy, i just toss them. But yeah, i hate to say CMC is the best in the world for anything. One other novel use for junk discs i have seen, my neighbor hung a bunch of them on strings in his fruit tree, and the wind blowing would scare birds away when the sun reflected on them. Maybe even the birds know CMC is junk, and it scares them away??

my buddy Maxburn knows me TOO WELL~ :)
TDK's own media is pure CRAP~~ yes, that is MY OWN OPINION, but hey, i'm speaking from experience and not pulling it outta my arse like some of the "rankings" on digitalfaq~ :)
digitalfaq can SHOVE it saying TDK is 1st tier/class media...what a joke~! even if they DO like TDK's own manufactured media, that "ranking" does NOT take into account that CMC MAGs are INDEED the manufacturer of SOME of TDK's branded media...what a bunch of crock!
while i've said it a hundred times on here already, USE digitalfaq as a GUIDELINE, their media rankings are FAR from being completely accurate and their media ID codings are NOT up to snuff as to what is PRESENTLY being used (manufacturers) for some of the "brands" they list...i don't care if the site says it was "updated" recently, it has NOT been...
websites and their respective owners have their OWN BIASES regarding media, much like everyone else here has their own "preferences" too...only thing i can say is to take what you read, regardless of WHERE you read it with a grain of salt, to put digitalfaq as the "authority" on media is a complete joke to me...
if i had the time, i COULD put up a much "better" list and ranking system; yes, mine would be "biased" too, just like digitalfaq's is..but, it would be more UP TO DATE and more ACCURATE than what they have right now...12:58am sunday 1/29/06 :)
