Eproformance DVD-R
Traxdata DVD-R
burned a number of dvd's 4/5 months ago( with loads of help of the forums, thanks folks) with a Matshita lfd310 burner, mainly Eproformance but also some Traxdata, and even the odd Infiniti and Ritek disc.
getting a 100% failure rate trying to rip same to my hard drive, using a Liteon LTD163D DVD-Rom.
tried another computer with the original burner in, getting similar results, 7/8 failures so far, all at different points on the disc.
only checked a couple on my standalone briefly, they do not play, cannot navigate to episodes.
only bought the Eproformance as they were voted 1st or was it second best budget disc on a web site, and they were not cheap at the time, the first lot were £1.80 each. if i had paid 60p a disc then, i could perhaps have expected some problems.
am really gutted, spent over a £100 on these discs, and countless hours of my time, ripping, transcoding, burning, splitting.

is this the normal expected lifespan of discs?
are these discs of "merchantable quality"?
what if i had used these recommended discs to back up valuable data that now could not be recovered?
what chance of i got of bouncing these discs back to the dealers involved?
:angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:
relly do need some help on this one
cheers
