Are Verbatim DVD-R discs made with the MCC code? Because I am just trying to find some good media incase I can not find anymore Sony DVD-R MIJ.
What kind of things do I need to look for (like MIJ/MIT or "Made in Sangapore" or name of disc) on Verbatim DVD-R media if there are some good DVD-R media?
Thanks

I just ordered some DataLifePlus myself.
I've heard that there Verbatim's top of the line.
I've used Verbatim media w/ Excellent results, in the past.

I believe all Verbatim MIT are MCC coded. DL's that are made in Singapore, I believe they are coded MKM? I believe MIJ Verbs are TY's?
I think I have read that RW don't test out as good as -/+ R's, but could be mistaken. I don't think I would use RW's for backups. I only use RW for testing.
If your burner can booktype, switch to Sony MIJ +R and booktype. If you can no longer find the Sony,Fuji, etc. MIJ TY's, than yes I would start picking up Verbatim's. My personal experience and testing has shown TY's to be slightly better than Verbatim.

videoboi- I don't think you would hurt anything by recording your video on - RW format disc . But if you can record +RW media & your burner allows you to booktype that would be a better option . Ideally though Why would you want to commit your video to an erasable format if your going to save it ! why not just go DVD-R or DVD+R up front ? Video On Erasble formats is more of a good Idea if you are'nt sure about what your doing burning wise or you want to try something different ripping & burning wise! If it works COOL! you can dub it to the permanet format you like best ! If it doe'snt work it's eraser time That I think is the true value of erasable media !also I've found that erasable media tends to become unstable after several erasing & rerecording cycles so that is also something to think on ! anyways hope this helps out even if it's only a little ! good luck videoboi & Happy burning!

I was just asking about DVD-RW for a Panasonic DVD recorder, the kind that hooks up to the tv. But thank you for the comments anyways.
Can some one quickly explain to me what is booktyping? I use DVD-R because they work on all the DVD players/recorders we have, so I've always used them.
But I want to learn about booktyping. How do I check to see if my burner supports it? I have a Pioneer DVR-108 with the lastest firmware I believe.
Thanks.

If you use DVD-R media you don't need to booktype,I think ?
It's if you use +R media, that you need to booktype.
Booktyping helps media play better on say, older dvd players.
Helps them recognize the media better.

You can only booktype +R media and Pioneer drives do not booktype unless you can find some hacked fw for the burner. I have a Panasonic DVD Recorder and have used Verbatim successfully with it. In fact I only use Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden, the recorder really likes the Taiyo Yuden disks.

sorry, you are outta luck w/ the dvr-108, i don't believe there is a modified/hacked firmware to enable booktyping~ :) i have the next model up, the dvr-109 and this one DOES have modified firmware available for it, it's called "buffalo" for your info~ :)
pioneer drives are very good, but it's only on the dvr-109 and the 110D that i THINK are bitset capable at this time...the older models are NOT :) that is the ONLY disadvantage of Pioneer drives in general, other than the non-booktype capable thing...my pioneer is the FASTEST drive i have to date and burns DVD-R format beautifully~ (which is what you are using now, so, carry on w/ the DVD-R because it's been working well FOR YOU, in the DVD-R format, i would suggest ONLY Taiyo Yuden made discs for your Pioneer drive)

Package says Made In Taiwan, on it.
Just inserted 1 disc into my Plextor Writer, to indentify disc.

Is that good ?

Yes, those are excellent. I believe they are 8x -R, and I have got some of my best test results with those.

Some of the first discs I ever got were some Prodiscs that coded out as that. 2 years later and they still score a 98 in Nero CD/DVD test. Wish I would have bought 1000 of them. By the time I figured it out and learned about media codes it was too late. I tried buying 200 more and they coded out as F01. They're sitting on a shelf collecting dust :(

interesting thread guys. i got a problem. i, not so long ago, bought a 50 pack of verbatim DVD-R 8x. i found them on the clearance rack of my local best buy. geuss that wasnt a good sign to begin with. so now im trying to burn on them and when i put one into my DVD-RW drive my computer flips out. sometimes the drive dissapears from "My Computer" and sometimes windows explorer stops responding. my drive is a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-103. is this a known problem? is there anything i can do about it? or am i just screwed? sorry for the lack of details, im not really familiar with codes and drives and all that other stuff u smart guys know.

Hi. I've been using -Rs but fixing to buy some +Rs because they are on sale. Do I set the booktype for these +Rs to 'DVD-ROM'? I have a Benq 1640 and I think the current settings are in "+R, +RW, +R DL". My 3540A is set at 'DVD-ROM' though. Help...........

@Prelude - Rule of thumb is to always booktype when possible I believe. This will only help make your backups more compatable with stand alone players.

Unless you have modified fw this burner, which I guess is a NEC will not booktype. It only booktypes +R DL media not +R single layer. As for your BenQ use the BenQ suite to set the booktype, or get DVD InfoPro it will allow you to set the booktype and will then automatically do it for you in every program.

Older Panasonic DVD-R/-RAM set-top recorders will not record DVD-RW discs. Panasonic was sticking to the DVD Forum rules as tightly as possible, and the DVD-R was the official write-once disc and DVD-RAM was the original "official" rewritable disc. (Newer Panasonic models introduced late last year will write to DVD-RW.) Panasonic recorders and many of their players would not play DVD+R or DVD+RW discs because they are not "official" DVD Forum formats. That's where bit setting comes it: it changes the ADIP code in the DVD+R and DVD+RW discs to misidentify the discs as "DVD-ROM" discs so that older players know what to do with them and restrictive drives/players are fooled into playing them. DVD-R is a recognized format for the DVD Forum; so that plus the fact that DVD-R does not use ADIP mean book settings for DVD-R are not necessary.
The Verbatim MCC O2RG20 made in Taiwan are excellent discs. CMC Magnetics makes them. That should make a few people rethink their anti-CMC bias, especially after the company overhauled their entire disc production processes in December.

I thought Mitsubishi Chemicals makes them? What about MCC 003 and 004?
