Blank DVD's Don't Work!

[shakenbake]

Memorex, Fuji DVDs = BAD!
Sony,Kodak DVDs = GOOD!

Right. Where do you get your information to make this all encompassing statement?

I hate to tell you this, but some of the Fuji DVDs that I bought were Tayo Yuden production, which are supposed to be second to none.

I've burned hundreds of CD's/DVD's of all different brands, even no-names, and I've never had a coaster...

I've had the same experience with CDs using a Plextor burner, it burns everything.
What burner do you have?

 

[The Bandit]

I have an LG.

Hungry go to videohelp.com and enter the name of your burner in the
apropriate spot you will get results for different types of media tried.

I picked the one that worked the most and have never looked back.

How do I find who is the manufacture of my burner, it came with my computer, a brand, Cicerio, I bought at future shop. It has Intel and who knows what else. I have a company, Dell laptop, brand new. I used them in there today to download some data to give away and they worked. I can't believe that with such a commodity item, that some brands won't work in all DVD's.

Bandit, even though your burned CDs/DVDs play well on your computer drive, it would be interesting to play them back on the cheapie DVD players that people are buying for their homes. Like you, I rarely have burn problems, but I do "loan copies" of movies to friends and am surprised how often they have problems during playback. i.e. pixelation, black blocks and chapter skips. I use quality media (TY, Verbatim, Sony, Maxell) at low burn speeds (4X).

What's really surprising is that sometimes those "cheapie" DVD players will play a disc that a higher quality one won't....I've seen it. I've burned the same video on different manufacturer discs with the same burner, and a higher quality player will read one and not the other.
