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?

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?

Re: 8x Taiyo Yuden in the UK

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:

Graph.png is of an Xbox game and
Graph2.png is of a transcoded dvd

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

Re: 8x Taiyo Yuden in the UK

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..

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.

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.
