yuden are good unless they are fake, you can try verbatim

Probably you got some fake taiyo discs.

what is the media ID?

[raymondtrudeau]

media id is gg000110

[Chewy]

gg000110
that's the number on the disk, usually authetic
the mid is a code written on the blank that only a dvd burner can see
neroinfo will tell you

but it's TYG02 for -R 8x's

It will look like this

[raymondtrudeau]

they are tye yuden according to dvd identifier..iam using tsst corp for burner and burning at 2x..........are +r better then -r?

[drfsupercenter]

Yes, cuz you can set the booktype to DVD-ROM. And why burn at 2x? Try 4x.

That burner isn't one of the better ones, use neroinfo tool and see what the firmware version is. With an updated firmware you should be able to burn those disks well. They are better than a lot of the best dvd+r
disks! Taiyo Yuden is made in Japan, and that's where all the best media is made.

Ha! That's the same drive I have. I just updated to version ts11 firmware and it helped me out tremendously. That link above is just what you need. Except you won't know this but you have a Samsung drive. So go to download firmware, Samsung, DVD recorder and arrow down until you see your EXACT drive numbers. click on ts11 and download to your desktop and I would go ahead and download the flash utility and run that program it will flash your firmware for you and tell you to reboot afterwards. I posted my results in this thread:

As you can tell I was pretty happy about my discovery.
Good Luck!
