Question:
Which one should I go for? The DVD+R discs seem to be a lot more expensive.
There is a new Sony DVD writer out that can write both DVD-R & DVD+R.
It has mixed comments from users at vcdhelp.com though
DVD-R. Work on the majority of players and mega cheap disks and cheaper players.
any DVD-R discs and writer you can recommend?
I have a pioneer A03 which has now been replaced by the A04. I must have burnt about 40 disks, all worked on the PC about 5 won't work on my tosh player. I use a mixture of unbranded and Apple disks with writing speed at 1x.
Does the writing speed affect the discs? I understand the A04 has 2X write speed, so is it better to use 1X speed instead?
Thanks a lot for your response. Cheers.
sorry for lateness in reply, had bad case of the sniffles.
ASAIK use x1 for cheapie disks and x2 for branded. I also leave the PC alone while burning, not even solitaire! Burning x1 is a slow process, but it is generally worth it to prevent coasters.
I have the A04 and use cheapy 2x discs such as Bulkpaq and Choice. I have never had a bad disc that has not been my own fault. They have all played on my LG 3350 without issue. I did have some FWS discs that wouldn't play at the outer edge (pixellation and breaking up) but these were replaced by Pete at blankdiscshop.co.uk without question. I continue to use my PC as normal when writing as well. It not high spec, 700 Mhz 256 Mb ram 30 Gb IDE drive IBM Netvista.
there you go yiufai, two very happy pioneer users - and a braver one than me as well!! :D
I use the Pioneer A04 with White Label media at 2x. All discs play fine on my pioneer 454. Burnt over 200 discs with this drive now
