Hey indienemo try these discs out whenever you get a chance alright man http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-132-372&depa=0 .These are the mini discs,but if you do use the full size discs try to use these discs alright http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-132-341&depa=0 .They both are Ridata discs,but they seem to work pretty good.I use the full size dvd-/+r discs all the time for my Xbox,and the Xbox drives are pretty picky also.Jdilla my friend showed me these discs awhile ago,and sure enough they work like a charm.I am not really sure about the mini media though,but I am positive the full size discs work like a charm.I also use these kind of media every once in awhile http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-131-887&depa=0 .I normally get these kind when I need to get discs before my actual shipment of media arrives.I use Dvd+R whenever I get a chance,it seems to work better for me.If you are trying to get the best brands then Sony or Verbatim are the best,but Ritek,Ridata,and Memorex are the more affordable media so I suggest them.If Ritek doesn't work real good,then you can always switch to see what works on your drive and definately try to see which brand it likes the best.I recommend everyone doing this,because the drives are alot different.In most cases the drives are real picky for some people,so can't really say if they will work perfect for you or not.I just recommend these,because these discs seem to work for me is all.

nemo, I'm not sure. I don't think I've ever seen those discs before. Seriously though, I'm almost positive now that most dres are from compatibility issues between your burner and media. For most dvd drives and PS2 and whatnot, PI/PO errors aren't an issue because they can handle burns that aren't the greatest, but as we all know, the cube is extremely picky. Therefore your best results will be finding the media your burner likes the best. Run some error tests with different medias you've burned. It'll help a lot.
l-burna's definitely right about +R's. They are much higher quality in general than the -R's. But some people don't have success with them because their burners don't burn +R's that well. But I still recommend you give them a try.

Some guy I met on the internet sent me a bunch of games on burnt DVD's... they all work fine with no DRE's so is that media compatable? I think they are Ritek G04 Printables....
How do I find the media code / description for these DVD's?
How do I do a PI/PO scan?

Edit: I can't scan my +R's for errors because my burner won't let me, but I'm positive that if I did, they would have even less errors than the prodisc.
I know, I wanted to run one of these tests too, but same problem. I've got like 5 different brands of DVD burners and NONE of them are supported. Actually, according to the most recent list, there are very few drive that are supported for this. :(

DVDInfoPro.
It does the media code and PI/PO checks (assuming you're lucky enought to own a burner that supposed it - see that link in my previous responce over this one).
I would say that neroInfotool and also the advanced button of alcohol 120's drive/disc properties tab does too, but for some reason, they both suddently stopped working on my computer. Not sure why. Was working before I tried installing the latest version of DVDInfoPro (3.55). (I hate windows, but that's a rant for another thread!)

well, it says mine is supported, which is accurate because I can scan -R's. Is there some kind of list that says which burners support +R's?

well, they probably are compatible with his drive, but you can't be sure if they're compatible with your drive unless you test them on it. Try ritek G04's of course, but also try memorex +R's and memorex -R's. My burner hates ritek but loves the memorex. Try using dvdinfopro to see what the manufacturer id is.
Get some different types of media if you can, burn some GC games and runs some scans on them. Post the jpegs on here and I can tell you if it burned well or not.

I think we should start a seperate compatability thread where people try different combinations of burners and media and we can compare and do quick graphs on what the best media is and such like... who's with me?
