i was wondering if anybody know any dvd brand that works with the matshita uj-850S. im using philips DVD-R 16x, but it gives me coasters once in a while. im tired of wasting the disc:). thanks.
use high quality as in Verbatim, Ty's,Maxell's Made In Japan. I have Matshita drive in my laptop and it's picky about media.Look in Best Buy or Walmart if in the U.S.
Is memorex16x going to work with this drive? if this wont work i'll use Verbatim. have you tried Verbatim disc? no coasters? should i buy DVD-R or DVD+R?
since that drive is not capable of bitsetting (booktyping DVD+R media to dvd-rom), I would recommend DVD-R media. stay away from memorex media because you never know what you're gonna get. try some verbatim dvd-r's from a b & m store or better yet get some taiyo yuden dvd-r's from an online store (supermediastore.com, rima.com, meritline.com).
I personally feel that verbatim makes the best DVD+R media (others will argue that TY does) but all my drives are capable of bitsetting and verbatim dvd+r's are all I use. I do believe TY edges out verbatim by a hair in DVD-R media though.

verbatim is made in taiwan or singapore unless you live in europe and are able to get the verbatim's that code out as taiyo yuden.
