Very helpful, thanks. I'm a little disorganized right now. I have the Pioneer burner (DVR-105) that I've used for years and I have an LG 4167B that I have just sitting because Nero 5.5 doesn't like DL drives. So, this Sunday we have a local computer swapmeet and I'll look for Nero 6.6 or just buy 7.0 at Fry's and install just Burning Rom (that 7.0 is so bloated). Once that happens I'll go to town on those -R verbs and do some benchmarking. I did see the Nero scan thread and somewhere there, there is a link on how to interperet the PIE and PIF outputs. I'll take another look for it and post here for the enjoyment of all.

Playr,
I posted the link to one of the sites that gives an interpolation of the PIE and PIF numbers. Hope this sheds some light on the situation. Thanks for that cincyrob!
Don't get to involved with these things, we (some of us) just do them for the fun of it. They do mean something but not to be held for anything concrete as far as the media playing or not. It will show you if it's bad but that is no guarantee that it will/won't play. Really just eye-candy if you boil it down. CRC tests and the benchmark test available are more important for DVD backups. Also playing in the stand alone DVD player is very important. lol. That's obvious isn't it.
As far as pS2 backups, I haven't done any yet. A friend of mine told me of a new soft-mod method and I need to order that to check it out. That's what I did to my GameCube last year and it saves on discs because I have a 6 & 4 year old. lol. They can scratch a disc just by looking at it. LOL.
Let us know how it's going and we're here to help and to learn.

Glad to see Prodisc back in the running,I have'nt used them for a couple of yrs.Had some really bad incidents with them.But when I first started using them they were great,then they changed their media type.But really price wise can't be beat.Guess I'll give them another Spindle try.I like inexpensive Disc's for my Series programs.Don't really care if they last or not

I still use Datawrite Optima Blue for XBOX backups. RITEKG05 dye.
Despite the scare stories they work fine. I scan every one.
I don't look at the score in Nero Speed.
PIE no higher than 100.
PIF no higher than 4.
Simple.

well many media use mcc codes and they are fake.i went to walmart purchased some retailplus+ dvd (50 spindle for 12 dollars CAD) and they were coded mcc.problem is they are ass fake ass pamela's breasts but appealing just like the price.since mcc is made in taiwan you can always run into fake ones.only ones you cant go wrong with are verbatim mcc.some fakes work and that when you should use them but never buy them again =D hope that gave you some info.

Yes there are numerous fakes out there. That is the main reason that I make the best effort to get the real thing. I order from reputable sources online and go with Name Brand discs when it comes to buying in-store. This doesn't 100% guarantee you will get the genuine thing but it sure gives you a fighting chance. ;-)
Personal experience with online media dealers:
SMS.com
allmediaoutlet.com
newegg.com (for media and computer parts)
additional rumored "good" online media dealers (what other members have reported)
rima.com
meritline.com
blankmedia.ca (canada)
svp.co.uk (uk)
This isn't gospel but I have it from reputable members that these are good online stores/dealers. Give them a look and see if you can find something you can't live without as media goes. lol.
edit:
I didn't mean to mislead anyone on the Brand Name disc thing. lol. Verbatim is about the only thing that I will get at a B&M anymore. Every once in a while I'll buy something on super sale ($12.99 or less/50 pack) for hand outs or the parents. ;-)

i disagree that www.rima.com is a good site.its only good for american customers.shipping to canada is (30 dollars) more than the product itself.

@BIGnewb,
So you're saying that www.rima.com is a good site for Americans and not Canadians?? Is it the service, quality of products, or unfair shipping out of country?
I don't think that an online store should be condemned because they charge more to ship out of country. I would expect that personally.
I think that I included one store for the Canadians. There are many more but I really don't know anything about them except thru a friend or two. If you live in Canada I would try one of the Canadian stores for media and other computer needs so you can save on shipping. :)
HTH's in some way. ;-)

blankmedia.ca is also pretty big on shipping and are more expensive.taiyo yuden 50 pack for 25 bucks.too much.best site for canadians is www.canadacomputers.com because shipping is 4 dollars.THATS REASONABLE.lol anyways those are recommended sites for the u.s. so if you're from the u.s and a then buy from there.

@BIGnewb,
If you want add to the list that I started, please do. As I said I don't have personal experience with Canadian (or anything outside of the US) stores since I live in the states. ;-)
As you know people just want a "GOOD" place to purchase media wherever they live. :)

I just recieved some DVDs off of eBay (Cowboy BeBop all six discs) and they coded out as BeAll DVD-R 4x (BeAll G40001). I'm giving the guy two days to get back in touch with me.

Greeting all! This is my first post. I have been reading here for quite sometime now and decided to join. I have been researching options for creating professional DVD discs. I started with lightscribe DVD, to CD/DVD labels, now I'm onto Printable DVD Media.
1. Lightscribe too expensive for B/W images.
2. CD/DVD refills are cheap, but you can only use center hub stickers on DVD, not full face. When I use full face, the movie ends up skipping. Then they have just DVD labels. At first I thought this was just a marketing ploy, but now I see it isn't. The DVD memorex printable labels are nice, but still too expensive, .75 for one label.
3. Now onto printable DVd media. This is the best choice since the media is about the same price as regular DVD-R media. The only extra cost is really the ink from printer.
Now the question is, I need the best possible DVDR media that will:
1. Play on the highest percentage of stand alone dvd players
2. Print a nice quality image on printable surface.
3. Provide a nice disc life longevity.
If I can find the perfect disc for this that would be great. Im tired of finding Media that will play on my stand alone player as well as my parents and friends player. Any one here have a nice chart for compatibility? Any one know the best Printable DVD Media for Stand Alone DVD Players? I don't mind paying more, just want the best solution, I don't have enough drinks for these coasters. How can you buy a DVD from the store, and it works everywhere...I want those DVDs!

Commercially produced movies are actually pressed, not burned, and they are in reality DVD-ROM disks. If you use DVD+R disks and set the book type DVD-ROM using a burning program like Nero, you can almost copy them. But, to further muddy the waters, I have better luck with all of my standalone players using DVD-R disks and burning them as DVD-R, (well you really can't booktype DVD-R) my Phillips and the mother in law's players don't like the newer 16X +R disks, but all of the 4X +R will work perfectly. Does your head hurt now? Mine did for a while until I stumbled upon Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, and Sony D16 disks which will work in every player I have access to right now.

c1c...I personally prefer the Ritek Hub Printables..I've had less problems with these then any other Disc [Smooth Burn,Longitivty,Excellent Print surface,] I have yet to find a stand alone DVD Player that will not play these Discs
2nd choice being the Tys...minimal problems..again plays on anything
Verbatims..I've had some problems on stand alone players..minimal though
These are your three BEST Choices,and for me in this order.All are about $.36 a piece
FORGOT I only use DVD-R's not DVD+R's..+r's as stated in above post,not really compatible to all players unless bookset,and even then some problems in certain players
