i have confirmed that the dvd+r for the Linkyo media is :Media ID: OPTODISCOR8


not a great media in my opinion, others might disagree, but, i try to stay away from optodisc whenever i can, i'll take prodisc over them anyday~ and then TY or Verbatim over all those other brands at any given time~

i have yet to receive confirmation for the dvd-r Linkyos', as i was interested in only the dvd+r verbatims MCC003 that have worked flawlessly for me, and as the promotion states...if you order plus, u get 100 plus linkyo's, if you order dash (-) then you receive the 100 dash linkyos.

i am just waiting for someone to post up the media id code for the linkyo dvd-r format. i can tell everyone on here right NOW that if they code out as TYGO2, which i have this feeling they will, they are 100% FAKE TY's as linkyo is a company in taiwan and they ONLY produce discs in taiwan, real TY's are only produced in japan.

reason i have this bad feeling about the dvd-r linkyo's is a few months ago my friend gave me a 25pk of dvd-r 8x to try, they had no markings or no brand name to them. i have over 2 thousand genuine, authentic TYS, so i know what i am talking about when it comes to identifying real Taiyo Yuden. the discs from the "unknown" 25pk they coded out as TYGO2s on 3 diff. identifier programs of mine. but, they were MADE IN TAIWAN. so, im just trying to figure out which company made these fake ty's i have, my search continues, but, if someone confirms these linkyo's to be TYGO2...then my journey has come to an end. my disc scans of these discs have been horrible and to say the very least, out of the 25pk my friend gave me, more than 1/2 are already unplayable now...they were burned 3 months ago.
i just want some closure on my search for the fake TYs, once i know, ill be happy~ please post codes if any of you jump on this deal w/ the verbatims and the free linkyo dvd-r's.

good luck to u all

Hi all--
Just thought I would put my 2 cents in--I received my Taiyo Yuden DVD+R (8x) from Supermediastore--also got the Linkyo 8x DVD+R (which are Optodisc)--free when I mail in rebate form--I have no experience with either--bought the TY because I hear about them all the time in this forum. It is hard to tell them apart at even a fairly close look--copy of my packing slip is here

Linkyo 8X DVD+R media 10 DVD02X0118-010 1 14.99
pack in cake box Free
After Rebate
Taiyo Yuden Silver DVD02X0098-050 1 23.00
Thermal 8x DVD+R Media 50
pack

squizzle--you are right--they don't say anything on the discs at all--I guess time will tell--next time I will get the Verbatim with the AZO dye--just wish it were easier to figure out who makes what! haha
Have a good day all--

thanks for putting the disclaimer in tho ;)

So far the best QUALITY cheaper media I have found is the Verbatim +R 8x
from Sam's Club, MCC's and I have burnt 100+ with no problems, and very
pleasing results viewed with kprobe...
at that price, very comparable to Ritek Ridata's, but imo way better quality!
They go for like 22.00 a 50pk @ Sam's, and I have seen them at double the price other sites online. go figure.

i believe it was me that steered you away~ with all the sales on Verbatim lately, i highly suggest going with either dash or plus format for the verbatims. :) they are VERY good, only a notch below my TY's personally. you can pretty much rest easy at night knowing you get quality stuff w/ the MCC coding on the 8x verbatims. i have just recently found out they ALL use the AZO dye which is great~

the 4x TYGO1s dvd-r i suggest earlier are also a good option for those on a budget.
