Re: NEC 2500 in firewire enclosure - no 8x burning

Hi all!

Okay, well to sort this out once and for all I've been out today and bought or pleaded for a couple of different dye discs to test. I tried Datawrite Grey 8x - ADVDINFO: FUJIFILM 03 - which wrote at 8x no problems, and also a Verbatim Datalife plus rated at 4x, which I'd been told writes at 8x on the 2500a - again, no problems at 8x.

It seems, therefore, that it's the Ridisc Ritek G05 8x media I've been using which have caused the confusion. Again, in my ignorance, I'd assumed that any discs using the same dye and not branded as seconds would be of a similar quality -obviously not. Has anyone got any suggestions as to G05 based discs that work at 8x in their 2500s with the official 1.06 firmware?

Confused,

Ron
