i'd love to see the results of these test....is there a link to a web page to back this up?
To support that other brands of +R DL discs are inferior to Verbatim? Visit the blank media forums at Cdfreaks, crlabs, afterdawn (this site had a really bad review of Bulkpaq -R orange stuff, and other people had horrible scans of other discs sold by Bulkpaq over there, iirc, but I appreciate that's not the +R DL line), etc.
I'm not going to start researching links for you. Just visit those forums. Many people do scans of their burns and post them.
That said, I do know that Bulkpaq DVD+R DL blanks are using CMC codes, and I think they are really made by CMC. So, you shouldn't get horrible results using Bulkpaq DVD+R DL (I would expect decent results), which is more than I can say for other Bulkpaq products. Keep in mind though that Verbatim requires a higher standard than what CMC generally produces for other companies (Verbatim uses tawain CMC on its normal +R line, for example).
Bulkpaq uses fake TY codes for other media in its line, and a lot of other Bulkpaq discs have produced horrible results.
But I wasn't just referring to Bulkpaq.
hmmm...i thought recordings on most dvd recordable discs where 'supposed' to last 100 years.
Not if the disc degrades and oxydizes . . .
"100 years" is little more than a marketing claim.
you're obviously a bit verbatim fan.nothing wrong with that though.
No. I only use what I believe to be good media. Verbatim (MBIL) and Verbatim (Prodisc) I do not generally recommend.
And Verbatim is switching from Singapore to India for its +R DL line, and, in my opinion, the jury is still out on that move.
I am cringing at the thought of it, actually, but it might not be that bad.
