Re: What brand of media do you use?

It's not so much what works with Fab...it's what works well with your system and players. With the price of media these days, it just doesn't make sense to use crappy media. I use TY's and Verbs and they're the front runners in terms of recommended media on virtually any forum. Does this mean there aren't others that are good quality or will work well...of course not.
An example, sony discs are top quality, but more folks have compatiblity issues than with others, but you never know. One of the mods could never get TY's to work in one of his burners...they worked everywhere else and despite firmware changes...no dice. He finally gave up and used different media for this burner.

As far as memorex, we've all probably used 'em and moved on...problem is, you never know what you're gonna get.

For some good info, take a look at digitalFAQ.

@beachbumm...I couldn't resist. This disc (branded Memorex) was burned over 3 years ago on a Liteon 401s...Liteon's very first DVD+R/RW writer. Got it free with a copy of 321 studio's dvdxcopy...
(I'll look for an older one).
You can see it was never bitset...bitsetting was not available when I burned it...
If I could be certain, I'd still be buying these "Memorex" Ricoh JPN R01's...

Is this a great scan?...nope, but it's not half bad either. So far this disc plays everywhere I've tried...
