I heard Memorex are craptastic. As all the threads say use Taiyo Yuden, (I personally use Sony DVD-R, and Maxells).

If you can only burn +R's, then maybe you could try using "Benq 8x +R" DVDs. Here is a link to what it looks like.

Benq 8X [+R]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unique Disc Identifier : [DVD+R:DAXON-AZ2-000]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disc & Book Type : [DVD+R] - [DVD+R]
Manufacturer Name : [Daxon Technologies Inc.]
Manufacturer ID : [DAXON]
Media Type ID : [AZ2]
Product Revision : [Not Specified]
Disc Application Code : [General Purpose]
Recording Speeds : [1x , 2.4x , 4x , 6x-8x]
Blank Disc Capacity : [2,295,104 Sectors = 4,482.6MB = 4.38GB (4.70GB)]

I've had problems with other media, but this media worked even when other media I had didn't. My burner can only burn as low as 4x, but when I burn using these discs, I get a message stating it's not a supported speed, and it burns at 2.4x (not sure if that's it exactly). So I'm actually able to burn at a lower speed then my burner suppports; pretty damn cool. Anyway, my burner is a "Sony DVD RW DW-D22A (FW: BYS3)" incase you wanted to know (not the best burner, but it does the job).

I'm mentioning +R's here since it's what you said only works for you.

also change your booktype to dvd-rom

**xCasperx** · 03-28-2006,07:23 PM

Booktype?

**jenko** · 03-29-2006,01:35 AM

it is a setting on your burner that can be changed in most burning programs like alcohol, dvd decripter and nero

I use memorex +r media all the time with no problems, I've burned over 50 disks with no coasters yet. My v4 has never had a problem booting them.

It will kill your laser! They use CMC Magnetics! GET IT AWAY!!

If you look a little closer, you would notice that not ALL memorex media is CMC. Memorex outsources all their dvd's and if you shop around you should have no problem finding MMC media.
