Using Q Suite, I ran Q Scan on 8X mode and the scan concluded that the Sony DVD+R MIT should not be burnt at 8X in my 1640.
If I recall, that is the speed I was running when it made 2 coasters.
Now I know - no more 8X mode.

Hrm... that's very odd! It might just be a bad batch of Sony mediaRFD Junkie wrote:

Sony MIJ +R = Taiyo Yuden.miss_swan wrote:Just a FYI, I was at the Walmart in New Westminster (Queensborough) today and quickly passed the electronics section. I thought, what the heck, i'll quickly stop in and check out the Sony DVD blanks.
The -r 8X were MIT but the +r 8x were MIJ. Price was 24.99 for 50.
Not 100% sure if MIJ means it's a good thing as far as Sony DVD media products go.
They had ~ 20 spindles left. Much more of the MIT -r stuff.

I went to FS a week ago and the PMed [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=27]NCIX.com[/rfdlink] without any problem. I was able to get it for 60$ tax included.rahzel wrote:buy online at [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=27]NCIX.com[/rfdlink], pricematch Atic, select pickup as shipping method.

So far no issues at all, and I've gotten my best TYG03 results yet. But I haven't had much of a chance to play with it yet.7-Endless wrote:So how do you guys find the BSMB firmware so far? Is it much better than BSLB?

Both media types are made by Prodisc, and have problems. Prodisc's media is poorly bonded, which causes a shortend lifespan. The media itself can be quite problamatic even just in getting it initially burned!gaore wrote:Of Fuji 8x DVD-R, if your burner burns Fujifilm03 ones at up to 8x and
ProdiscF01 ones at up to 6x, which one do you prefer?

slightly better with good media but much improved with cheap media, overall it is a better firmware (BSLB)7-Endless wrote:So how do you guys find the BSMB firmware so far? Is it much better than BSLB?

Ditto...have all these blanks that may not last as long as I would have hoped. I tried separating the layers on one of those TY 4x from [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=28]ncix[/rfdlink], just spending about 10 seconds trying, I could see air pockets in between the layers...my vision may have been playing tricks on me since it was 6am. I'm assuming the Maxell Professional blanks are not the ones that everyone that has been buying in bulk at FS and Staples these past 10 months. And to think, I have been using the Arco Circles for my least important data but now find out they may last the longest...miss_swan wrote:Thanks TDD for the info.
I'm kinda bummed out then. I've been backing up my precious digital files/data (pics/vids of family/kids) onto TY dvd-r 4x media (the 100pk, spindle, no label from [rfdlink=/forums/autolink/redirectpage.php?linkid=28]NCIX[/rfdlink]) ... looks like I should have picked up some of that Maxell stuff.
Please keep us updated TDD.
