John Doe's probs with That's Write DVD-R's caused me some concern as I thought DVD-R was supposed to be much more resilient than CD-R and didn't have the same sort of CRC probs :-o
The only disks I have had probs with so far I guess was a spindle full of Datawrite DVD-RW's that should have been DVD-R, they burnt OK first time but every one corrupted when trying to erase them, guess it was a duff batch as I've heard good reports about this brand
I have some Mirror Platinum disks, has anyone used these and are they any good?

So I believe, guess I was just unlucky to get a duff spindle. It wasn't the burner as I used both my burner and standalone recorder with the same probs

After that 'that's write' incident I now always do a 'verify data' check on the first bunch of dvd's I burn from a new brand.

This is a really strange one though as these DVD's had been working fine for me until I posted this thread, looks like I put a curse on 'em
I always copy everything back to my hard drive as a verification, don't trust anything

burn and verify = ~30 minutes at 4x
Re downloading 6 movies because you didn't check the disk and deleted the files takes a damn sight longer

You could invest several million in a SCSI interface card and DVD burner

Has anyone had any experience with Shintaro brand dvd-r? I can get a spindle of 50 for $60 AUD and i'm really in need of clearing space. I've got a Pioneer 4X 106 (i think) burner if that matters with compatibility issues.

I've had no compatability issues with most brands with my pioneer 105. It happily burns even 2x media at 4x too
Hoever, I have shit loads of ram and have it on its own ide channel. CRC normally = read / write error due to buffer problems in my experience, except for on really old cds.
