rob your right about the 20 buck ty's, they are much harder to obtain, every once in a great while SMS will have them and a sale usually lasts a day or two, why hardly any sales on pluses I don't know, and yes the verbs you can get often from OfficeMax or Sams for 20 bucks.

I will tell you those 300 pack +JVC's from SMS look awfull tempting for 86 smackers plus made by ty, man I'm gonna have to wash some dishes the next few days and get the Misses to let me order them.

Russ I never knew newegg even carried blank media, stupid me never ever looked, plus you dirty dog with them special deals from them, I'm jelous also lol.

Has anybody here have any experiance with the JVC ty's yet, I'm always kinda leary on ordering something new cause that deal looks very tempting.

16X TY's are incredibly good. They MIGHT appear like they don't scan well, but they always play without hitch. Even when superspeed burning ;) The discs seem to be able to handle high errors. TYG03 When burned by a good burner. My samsungs I stopped considering good...

Hmmm. I can now say that you mention it that as reading goes they are not that great. Best readers I've had were LG's made by Hitachi. They are ususally very good readers.

The transparent disc issue could also be very true. I read a post where they said that it was better to get dark colored burners w/a dark tray as opposed to light ones, as the reflection from the optical light off the tray can cause issues. How true I don't know.

I think it was in a article describing the benefits of Pioneer Drives. I can't recall.

I did notice my optical mouse would not work on a white tiled Ikea table I had. Something told me to put a cardboard under my keyboard and then it took.

dr_ml422,
The dark/light thing is not true at all. The light from it would have to be precisely focused to interfere with the focused beam of the laser. Otherwise it's effectively unseen! Some people even have the idea that it's like radiation, but the sensor ignores all but the proper signal. It simply doesn't see it!

On the Mouse, All the ones I've ever taken apart don't have a laser, they have a bright red LED! Even if it was an actual laser it would have to be very low power because you can see the light's reflection with the mirror/prism it shoots through. A laser under those circumstances would be harmful to the eyes! I've also never seen a Laser Warning on any mouse or it's packaging. Colors they work on vary greatly. Some black surfaces the mouse won't work on, while on others that look the same color to the eye, they do. More often than not you can use a piece of white Bond paper for a mouse pad, and the mouse will work fine.

Best Regards,
Russ

]dr_ml422,

It depends on what your sales tax (if any) is, whether they are under $26!

Any idea why my Magnavox dvd vcr combo for dubbing, model ZV450MW8A
suggests up to 16 x on Maxell media, but on Verbs only to 8x either -or+?
I'd buy these Verbs at this price if they are still available but under the specs i don't know.
tks

GO SAINTS
sorry for interrupting the thought process here.

So you are thinking my Magnavox will write the 16 at 8 possibly?

That's a recorder correct? So it will record the VCR tape in real time no? Where's the writing here? I know it finalizes the disc for playback etc... I would think when you take out the copied disc then writing from that is where the speed comes in.

Yes it is a dvd vcr combo/dubber, specs say 16 x on maxell or lower,
verbs only suggests to 8---if you put a 16 in it won't write it at 8? will it?

For a year i have been dubbing vhs tapes to dvd, lately i found the verbs work much better, will be copying them later on another drive,
but the price newegg had on those 16's is good, but my specs don't suggest 16's on verb?
