One of the biggest issues for all of you people making backups is what kind of media to use. Hopefully this will help you all out! Before you check out this DVD media guide, it is important to know that the dye of the DVD is what you should be interested in, and not just the brand name. So, if you buy high class media, such as Ritek, it does not necessarily mean that you are going to be getting the best dye that Ritek makes. You need to make sure that you are getting the highest quality dye with the media you purchase. So be sure to DO SOME RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING!
Top Quality Media (longest dye life, 10+ years... Classified as AA Grade Media, Highest Quality!)
Taiyo Yudon (with YUDENT, TYG0x dye, many fakes made, make sure you are getting the real thing!)
Ritek (G03/G04 dye, many fakes made, make sure you are getting the real thing!)
Verbatim (with MCC02, MCC, MKM (DL) dye)
Fuji MIJ
Maxell (Japan) (with MXLRG0x dye)
Sony (Japan/Taiwan) (with SONY0xD dye)
TDK (with TDK, TTG0x, TTH0x dye)
Low Quality Media (minimal dye life! This media should be avoided at all costs. I am not saying the brand names below will not work, but the chances of them working and lifespan of the discs is simply terrible! The discs below use the lowest quality dye possible.) (Note: The average dye lifespan for these discs is around 1-2 years.)
Hiya thanks alot for all your help but ive solved the problem and yeah i no its cack media lol but its all i culd get my hands on from the local computer shop and i got everything to work by burning at 8x.
