Re: [H] copying/dvd errors

[Greg Sevart]

Depends on the burner. Some burners don't have very good write strategies 
for the MCC media. Verbatim is still just as good as TY. (in fact, the MCC 
16x -R stuff appears to be better than the TY 16x -R). For rewritable and 
dual-layer DVD media, Verbatim/MCC/MKM is the -only- stuff that is 
worthwhile.

Additionally, it is possible to get a MCC-coded disc that isn't really MCC. 
Prodisc and a few others will use MCC dye and sampers, but the discs are not 
as good as the stuff sold under the Verbatim brand. With CD media, it is 
important to make sure the discs are labeled Verbatim DataLifePlus. If it is 
labeled DataLife, ValuLife, or nothing at all, then it is a lesser quality 
product.

The two DVD's I got the errors on were Verbatim 8X media.
I later burned both sets of files on Taiyo Yuden 16X Media at 16X and got

I've seen a lot of failures on Verbatim CDRs and DVDRs over the last 
couple of months.  I don't use them and don't recommend them anymore.
