I have bought some and will check them out as soon as they arrive

Very cheap if they are really TY...

In the test at another site, they unfortunately didn't bother with PI/PIF error scans, though it seemed they worked ok except when overspeeded - would a genuine TY manage that without complaint?

They do seem too cheap to be geniune but we will see, I only ordered 50, will test them at 8x and 12x and post results if I get the time

Thought mirror were the crap side of media not the better kind? Not having checked them out, but they are normally sold by those retailers selling bulk-paq, red top, ritek, arita, etc - not TY?

Ok did 2 tests at 12x with this media and come to the conclusion this is definitley not proper TY media.

Here are the scans:

Graph2.png is of a transcoded dvd

They might be acceptable in some players. The dvd movie is above the threshold for 100% reliability

there's a thread about them in the media forum, seems the're mirror discs with a false id so that more drives can write 2 them (LG's are mentioned).
Spanish site selling them point out they contain a fake id but other places dont mention the fake part yet..

Grantcr · 27-08-2004

yeah I read that thread to. I would like to know when the genuine TY DVD+R 8x is coming over

*icey* · 28-08-2004

TY need to sort this crap out - it will do their reputation no good (and many lost sales) if millions of people buy dvdr media with TY mentioned in that purchase if they are fake and offer poor results.

This is why I will always stick discs that come straight from the dye manufacturer.

*icey* · 30-08-2004

Well, if you mean directly from TY - not sure how in the UK. Hope SVP / Blankshop do not deal with rubbish and fake's - althought they stock bulkpaq crap and other shit from time to time.

I've been using Mirror +R for some time with 100% burn success. They are my preferred disc for DVD movie backup with bitsetting on my 2500.
