are these taiyo yudens?

[dmanshead]

I bought a 50 pk spindle of Sony accucore 8x dvd+r's from walmart (it was their only japanese made media). Using dvd Identifier, I get a code of YUDEN000 T02, but looking at VideoHelp, people are saying these discs are fake. has sony pulled off a scam or what. give me a minute and i'll post the logs from dvdIdentifier and CD-DVD speed

[NightTran]

if it is made from Japan then it is real yuden, if made from taiwan it is still ok not as good as yuden, you can burn one at 8x and scan a quality scan, it should be 95-99 % quality

Here is a Question too, what are PI errors and failures?

[NightTran]

light on need to scan at 4 x, burn at 8x is very save

[dmanshead]

so burn these @ 8x then scan @ 4x? I burned @ 6x and scanned the same, bear with me i'm still learning yet. There are quite a few packs of these discs at 24.00 for 50 should I pick more of them up?

[NightTran]

most disc burn 6x is not very good, either 4, 8 12 or 16 dont do 6x even it say 6x is one of the choice, all scan with light on is 4x, benq at 8x and nec at 5x that is the standard

[dmanshead]

ok the next one i do will be @ 8x as the only choices i have with an 8x disc are 6 or 8.

[dmanshead]

not much difference in scans still the same problem areas but here is the log.

[blutach]

They look beautiful - don't sweat it.

Regards

[Chewy]

those are the real thing, quality has slipped lately(my last batch)
you might even scan at 8x with that drive, saves time, I just scan ever now and then to make sure everything's going fine.

[bigkid]

i have a i guess a rebadge d lite on 1673s how do i do one of those scans i honestly dont know thanks

[jm1647]

On the hub real ty's have a batch code

4x DVD-R = GD000xxx

8x DVD-R = GG000xxx

8x DVD+R = TG000xxx

16x DVD-R = GH000xxx

where xxx are numbers, the higher supposedly most recently made

I found this info. I have only had and used 4x and 8x TY's -R's from supermediastore and the batch codes were there.

[dmanshead]

so by hub you refer to the innermost ring? and no the numbers don't corespond to what you posted but these have a brand of sony on the disc....
