What DVD-R's will PLAY PROPERLY in a normal DVD player???

For years Taiyo Yuden made the most reliable 4x DVD-R's, but they have cheaped out and now they only offer 8x which are half the price and perform like CRAP. The problem is always at the end of the movies. Around 1:30 and up they mess up on both my Sony and two Panasonic home DVD players. In the past I’ve tried Fuji, TDK, and maxell discs, with the SAME problem; they play fine on computers but skip like mad near the end, on regular players.

What brand is the best for this problem??

Just buy the old 4x taiyo yuden, supermediastore.com has then and dirt cheap. Theres only a few company that actually make dvdrs then they are all rebranded as fuji, tdk, sony, etc.

edit~
dont burn at 8x, burn at a lower speed, most stand alone players dont like reading discs burned at high speed.

Change brands DVD, stick with DVD+R....or get a new DVD burner and/or burner software

Ive never had any luck with +r I always use -r for years now.


The software/burner should have zero effect on it playing on a stand alone player. Its all about the brand(not the big name brand but the actual disc company) and speed written from my experience.

^OR there could be a bug between his burner and the software, or his dvd burner just sucks...I have used just about every brand DVD +or-, whatever is cheapest at the store and never had problems, and if there were any it was the burning software buffering incorrectly causing skips in the disk.

Thats ridiculous.

Some stand alone players will play any thing you throw at them, usually the cheap0 ones. Ive had my high dollar player not play a single burned disc, then a friends 30$ walmart special play everything it can get.

If it is a disc failure a simple play on the computer would confirm that. Also, he seems to have had no problems burning in the past which should make his setup fine, until the media change.

edit~~~
I guess zero effect was a bit much, then again I am drunk at the moment. Still sounds like a medaia thing to me not a burner/software issue.

It is certainly a media error. I've tried 2 separate burners and 3 different standalone DVD players, and the problem is consistent. They work fine on computer DVD drives, but NOT regular DVD players. The old 4x Taiyo Yuden discs were twice the price but were 100% reliable and worked on all my equipment.

And supermediastore.com has nothing but the cheap 8x

Yeah it is the player not the CD's.

Yeah it is the player not the CD's.

Well considering hes burning DVDs Id hope its not the Cd's.

Meh you guys know what i ment.

Strange? I have not had that problem? I buy the Printable DVD-R's but never had a problem with playback on a bunch of players , cheap-o or high end. even my car-dvd player has no problem I am burning with a sony DRU 710A on one computer and the other is built into my HP dv9000 Notebook. they both seem to burn with no problems at 8X.

 

[IwantMKIII]

I have DRU 810A i believe...it works perfect no matter the brand and what your doing on the computer at the time of recording
