Wat up,
does anyone know the best media for a thomson drive?
I've tried Hp dvd+r 8x with crappy results and some other no name brands....didnt read properly? Anybody have better luck with others?
Stay away from +r with your thompson drive, many have problems reading that type of media. Any decent -r media should work just fine, check out here to find some good brands if your interested, http://www.geocities.com/modchipzone/dvdmediaguide1.htm

Not necessarily so. It depends on if your burner can convert +R to DVD-ROM. I don't use anything but +R, and I have a 1.0 Thompson :)

haha, Quadratic, I had a feeling you were going to jump in on this thread when I said stay away from +r. I am not saying for surely DO NOT use +r, I am just going from my experience and many others on xbox-scene. You are one of the few people I know that can play +r on thompson drives.
I had a thompson drive in my xbox and had crapy results with any media. I went to e-bay and got a Samsung for a song. It plays mostly ?R but the important part is ?flawlessly!!!? I have never had a DVD read error with a ?R, never really used +R but I know for a fact that my PS2 hates +Rs for movies or games. If people are having luck with the thompsons now perhaps I should sell mine on e-bay. Hummmm?..Naaaa Parts is parts!
