More and more
people start to understand the importance of using quality media. Not only are
there more and more reports of people who have lost data because the use of
cheap and low quality media, also compatibility becomes more and more an issue
with DVD recorders. Many of you might know that there only a handfull of CD/DVD
manufacturers while there are hundreds of brands available on the market.
The CD Freaks Media Forum is probably the best source for
information on the quality of the manufacturers and recently our moderators
rdgrimes and OC-Freak have expanded this forum with a large database of
information. In two subforums there are currently dozens of tests available that
will show you which burner works with what media.
You can now search by drive
model or firmware, media speed/brand/maker or even ATIP numbers and searching
for multiple items will give more specific results. With the right search you
will be able to find the best combination of drive, firmware and media to ensure
the best burns that will last longer.
More information can be found in
the CD Media and the DVD Media forums. Be sure to first read the FAQs and also
be sure to contribute to expand this large database!
