CDFreaks Most Popular DVD Mediacodes - Club CDFreaks

**Arachne** · 20-06-2008

As nominated by you guys, here is the poll for the most popular mediacode.

A few have been removed due to lack of availability, and one or two added.

The choices are assuming the media is legit and best grade.

Cast your votes!

Very late edit: To avoid any further confusion, this poll is multiple choice

The previous polls can be found here:

Poll: Which DVD+R media is best for long-term storage? [2006-2007]

Might be something wrong with the percentages....

*Bob* · 20-06-2008

I thought you didn't like my post from the other one you started

I need to get busy on these FTI TTH02's and see how they burn

I've been sick lately and no desire to try them out.......

Yes, that is very odd. I'll have to check that with Admins.

Edit: just checked with Drage, the percentages are fine. Mind you, percentages aren't my thing, so I wouldn't know if they were wrong LOL.

Percentages are correct.

Percentage = (number of votes for a choice) / (number of voters) x 100%

Dividing by number of votes (instead of voters) would be incorrect and strongly misleading for a multiple-select poll.

I hope you understood that the "Cm'on people" part was not directed at you?

*Francksoy* · 20-06-2008

Maybe if the question was: "What ARE your favorites mediacodeS", this percentage thing would get less confusing..? (and it would make the multi-options feature more self-explanatory..?) My two cents..

Arachne, which did you vote for? MCC 004 or the TY's?

I've only had experiences with a couple of brands of blank DVD's so I haven't voted yet.

MCC004, and quite a few others, including YUDEN000 T02 and TYG03

*Chuck44* · 21-06-2008

I voted for Yuden000 T02 and TY G02.
A couple of years ago my choice would have
been MCC 003, but their quality started
getting unreliable from batch to batch.

juancdg · 21-06-2008

I am the first who voted "Other" and I have to say that this other is PRINCO (Princo 4x). This media you can find it everywhere here. As I said before due to the lack of TY or Vebatim, I have tried other different media being this media the most popular (maybe for other guys, also this could be true). So I have to say : Where is PRINCO mediacode?
EDIT: Just to add this media has been improved, the old days of being the worst media are over, in fact they are pretty good now; compatible with most of my burners.

Okay, I missed the multiple choice part (see Francksoy's comment above)

It wouldn't hurt to clarify then that the percentages represent the % of individuals who have voted for that mediatype.
