Hey Oriphus, what do you think of vertabim and tdk? I think they're the best two brands out there and also most expensive. If the games don't run on these dvd-r, then they just don't run. Do you use these brands? If so, do you ever get any problems? I'm using the cheapy generic brand at about .70 a piece. So far out of 7 ps2 games burned, only one is a coaster. I wanna switch to tdk or vertabim to see if I can eliminate these coasters.

I have tested the same Princo disc also and although I cannot reproduce the graph here I got a better result than the one you did. I used a Pioneer 105 burner and burn speed of 4x. Please refer to my other threads for other results.http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/40419
The graph you have shown Oriphus would give a score of only 6 in my test but I am at odds to know why the result is so different.

Discmania - I fail to see how you came to your results? There is no evidence to support what you state. The whole idea of testing is to produce evidence of that test so that we, the general buyers, can ascertain the weaknesses and strengths of the particular discs and make our decision. Im not saying that i disagree with your results in any way, but someone just saying that a disc gets a rating of 9 is ludicrous.

Firstly, specific discs are tailored to specific needs, this disc did not perform exceptionally well, though it was still a good disc. However, i tested the disc on a wide range of players and it performed well on some and not so well on others. How you can give it a single grading across the whole spectrum, quite frankly, has me baffled. ;-)

Rotary Hi, I am in the UK. Just want to point out that the words best and cheapest don't tend to go together too well in the same sentence. However, there is one disc i will always recommend for quality and performance. That is the Ritek G04. I have been happy using unbranded Ritek's for a while now, however, after testing some Clone Disc Ritek G04's, i have noticed a difference in the quality. These discs are possibly the best ones i have tested to date. They may cost u slightly, and i mean just slightly, more than the Bigpockets unbranded Riteks, but these Grade A Clone Discs from http;//www.dvd-and-media.com have got my vote now. Hope i've been a help.

PS2WizHey, I have had great results with the Verbatim DVD-R and the TDk dye is the same that was in the older Datawrite greys which weren't bad. I have heard of a few problems with DVD+R Verbatim, but as of yet i think that the MCC 01..RG2 dye on the Verbatim 4x have been doing well. If you haven't tried Ritek, you should think about giving them a try!

Hail Oriphus !
When you talk of lower or higher quality disks,is quality reflected in the images produced on playback e.g. degree of pixellation and stutter etc or just number of coasters?

lol :-)
The pixelation is usually down to the way in which it was compressed. You shouldnt get pixelation on a DVD which isnt compressed. Lower quality discs just don't playback as well, the functions such as fast forward and rewind get screwed as do the chapters.

Also, you find them less compatible with some players.

Oriphus: I do not consider my results to be ludicrous in any way at all. If you look at my original thread you will see that I carefully gave a description of my score criteria after testing more than a dozen discs. Just because I am unable to reproduce the graphs as you have done does not mean to say that my results are invalid. They are carefully tested and I have said that my results are not to be taken as definitive. Furthermore I in no way set out to test players as that is a different subject altogether. My tests were for the quality of the burn itself which I believe is a fair reflection of the disc quality. I resent the fact that you also seem to want the last word on everything going on this site - the term 'get a life' springs to mind. Sorry if I've offended you or anyone else (not my intention) but it needed to be said.
