Urgent! Verbatim DVD-R or DVD+R Lightscribe? - Wiihacks

vanylapep · 08-30-2008, 10:16 AM

Hi guys,

Staples (American store) is selling Verbatim DVD-R and DVD+R Lightscribe for 13$ for a pack of 30. I guess it's really worth it, but the problem is that the DVD-R are out of stock and only the DVD+R are available (but running out soon too!). So should i get the DVD+R? Do you have an idea if they work better, worst or same as the DVD-R?

DVD-R are made in India.
DVD+R are made in Taiwan and India.

Thanks guys!

-R typically works best, but the +R should still work fine

i actually dont recommend the made in india ones, a lot get issues with it, but if its working then perhaps theyve finally changed the process

What kind of issues do they encounter?

If i go with DVD+R, do i burn them as is, or do i need to set the book-type to -rom?

The -r from India must have improved then. I've burnt 25 games now and no problems whatsoever. But I think it also has to do with how many processes people are running in the background while burning.

Vanylapep, go ahead and get the -r's made in India. I have no problems with them. With the +r's, just use programs default, as is. Imgburn @ 4x.

I think you got a point there, i have had 3 bad burns.. and probly because i was running background tasks..

Also, i had some HD buffer problems when i was unraring stuffs in the background..

Guess i should stop multitasking
