I have been using the Maxell DVD-R disc that you find cheap at stores such as Best buy, Staples, Target and so on. I know they are the Maxell made in china and not the ones I should be buying, like from Japan. Made buy who knows whom. And also they will not last as long as better media.
But they have played nicely with not one skip, chop or freeze up at all. And I’m playing them on the worst possible DVD player ever created by the human race. The “Daewoo DVD/VCR combo”. From Shoprite! But again, no problems with play or quality.
Because I’m going to very soon be purchasing AnyDVD and cloneDVD as soon as my wife’s back is turned. And have been reading the forum and learning more than I could ever imagine. (Thank you to all involved here)
Verbatim was unknown to me. But not anymore. And probably will take the place of using the Maxell DVD-R’s I use.
Of course I bought the last pack of 50 at Best Buy that had the correct “TNR” font on the cap verifying it was made by CMC. It also had the bad serial number starting with MAP6. 3 were coasters and 4 burned nicely. As well as playing nicely on my DVD player.
This does not change my mind about continuing to buy Verbatim. I will still do so.
I used DVD Identifier on both the Maxell and Verbatim blank discs. I was surprised at the results for both.
Maxell was made by Prodisc? Can’t be that bad…. right?
Verbatim was made by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. Not CMC. Is that correct?
Both read outs are below
I would also like to know where I can find the true Maxell Plus Series (made by Maxell) and Maxell by Taiyo Yuden. (Does it say “Taiyo Yuden on it!!??)
Verbatim will still be key. But I’d sure like to try burns on those Maxell's as a test and/or back up of special movies.
Thank you
