Best DVD Media for Samsung 203B - Club CDFreaks

cluelessidiot · 12-12-2007

Which DVD media media would be best burned by this burner. I'm thinking about getting a Samsung 203B or two. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Take a look at the 203B scans thread whilst waiting for replies.

I did. So if I get the Samsung 203B, should I overspeed or just burn at the rated speed? So far I'm looking at Taiyo Yuden as the best option but I wanted to know if the Retail Box packaging is good or if it damages discs?
Oh sorry, I thought you meant the scans on the Samsung 203B review. I'm looking now at the link you gave me now but I think it will take a while to read over 52 pages.

My S203B's do good with any media I happen to throw in them to burn. I have used
MCC02RG20,MCC03RG20,MCC003,MCC004,TYG02,YUDEN00T02,Prodisc F01,CMC MAG
AM3, CMC MAG E01,Ritek F1, CMC MAG M01 but the M01 never was that great in any
of my Sammys or Liteon's

either but so far everything else with the exception of the
CMC MAG M01's has done great in the Samsung's.

As I have seen it at the forum mostly MCC004 (CMC made) and TYg02 media seems to be the best for this burner, but I have seen some great results from OptodiscR16media too.

Any other suggestion?

I can also report good burns @12x with MIT Verbatim 16x -R (MCC 03RG20). 16x and 8x just don't seem to do as well with this MID and burner...
