closed post/ thread: imgburn error

[des-theman]

if your question has been answered, how do you close that thread and start a new one.
does any one know if this is a good or bad disc, IDRODISC-R03-03.
I couldn't find it in the media quality guide. Imgburn could not verify the copy. Said, failed to verify sector 0: unknown CRC or ECC error, operation failed after 3 minutes.

you don't close it, when your done with a thread and want to move to an entirely different topic, you start a new thread. the old one will sink into the abyss of the forum for others to look back on at some time or another.

PRODISC--100% garbage, i've tried them too in the past. if your already having problems, throw them all in the bush and get something good like sony or verbatim. even better see what media your player(s) and writer prefer. one way is at videohelp.com under "dvd writers" and "dvd players"

According to the digitalfaq page here updated Sept '05. They are a 2nd class media with a 80-95% success rate. Of course this depends on how well any burner likes the media and how the fw write strategy handles it. I've had a good experience using them in my standalone recorder that had a LiteOn ddw-451s burner in it. Here is the info for the Prodisc's I used

thanks JM and LT... will stay well clear of these. they were cheap, thought i'd give them a try, even though they were not on burner recommended list.
I have some verbatim +R, which are recommended.
PS, if i continue using the 'PRODISC', will they have any detremental effect on my burner?
