Fs Benq 200 Dvd+r $59 Restocked!

[peoples_Flip]

The only BenQ 200 packs I see on the website are 4X. Are there suppose to be 8X ones?

Like I said, I went to the store today and they were selling these 8X DVD-R's for the same price as the 4X ones. If you go to the location I went to there were about 4 of these 8X boxes left.

BENQ 200, DVD+R and DVD-R restocked again.
Id go for the -R as they are more compatible with dvd players. If you have a burner which supports bitsetting, the +R dvds can be changed to -R.

Sorry, you are wrong. If you have a writer which supports bitsetting, the +R dvds can be set to DVD-ROM (not -R) which is not only more compatible than DVD-R with DVD players but will also rip faster.

thx 4 da update... but i think 200pks are WAY too much 4 me..! i don't even if i'll use'em up within a year...!

honestly i think most people who say benq are crap havent even personally used it. everyone on this forum makes such a big deal about TY TY TY TY TY. sure TY good but ive tried prodisc, optodisc, ricoh and they all work great too. all of them play in all my dvd players and my ps2. havent had any coasters with any of them either unless i accidentally open a program while burning. o_0

It is soooo much more than a question of "are you able to burn this media" and "will it play". It also should be about if the media has a consistent readability with very few errors and is made from materials such that the disc's contents will persist for a prolonged period of time.

That is the basis for what I look for in media and that being said, the quality control with Taiyo Yudens is incredible so if one can get them at a good price, they should - IF the longevity of their data is of any consequence.

I agree that, if you're just going to rip a PS2 game or something that you'll use for a couple of months (or, heck, just a weekend), any readable media will fit the bill. But if you need something to last a long time, TY's are better.

Now, if one can get the Sony 8x media that comes in the 200 pack BenQ 8x -R's, then I would say that this is a really good price/performance ratio that should be explored.

And what is an example of something that needs to be kept a LONG time... longer than what the Benq's will last

[pete]

is there anything marked on these dvds? or are they only silver? does it say anywhere that they are BENQ?

Irreplaceable digital photos or home movies to give just a couple of examples.

i have used them and they are the only brand that i can't even get one to work so for me they suck... i'm glad i only bought a 50 pack

if benq works for u then thas great but they don't work on my burner or my friends burner or dvd player.... the great thing about ty is that i've never seen a burner that it doesn't work for and if it is true that they last longer than thats a bonus

Were you using the 4X or 8X discs? Which burner were you using?

[Shaf]

There's over 800 of each left right now!

[DaVillen]

I ordered 3 packs on christmas day, so i'll let you guys know if thier 4x or 8x when i get today or tommorow or whenever i get them. Last time i ordered i got daxon -r which burnt well (only 3 or 4 coasters out of 200), only thing is i couldn't burn at 8x without errors. Even if i get the 4x sony code i'll still be happy, cause those can be burnt at 8x ok.
