Sometimes a blank disc would not burn in my Pioneer DVR-111D. Media text is Verbatim DVD+R DL 8.5 2.4x 240. Price: $50 Purchased from: Best Buy Date purchased: January 2008 Burnt with Pioneer DVR-111D / DVR-710 at 2.4x using firmware 1.29. Please see disc quality scores below: 1) Nero Disc Quality Scan with Verbatim MKM 001 (made in India) burnt 7.59GB movie at 2.4x speed with Pioneer DVR-111D: PI errors Maximum: 123 Average: 16.64 Total: 371792 PI failures Maximum: 2 Average: 0.07 Total: 1502 2) Nero Disc Quality Scan with Verbatim MKM 001 (made in India) burnt 7.59GB movie at 2.4x speed with Samsung SH-S182D: PI errors Maximum: 171 Average: 36.81 Total: 901885 PI failures Maximum: 3 Average: 0.11 Total: 2579 3) Nero Disc Quality Scan with Verbatim MKM 001 (made in Singapore) burnt 7.59GB movie at 2.4x speed with Sony DRU-190a: PI errors Maximum: 170 Average: 27.94 Total: 553279 PI failures Maximum: 3 Average: 0.06 Total: 1305 Write Quality was best using Pioneer DVR-111D. Tested with these three burners: Pioneer DVR-111D (Firmware 1.29), Samsung TSSTcorp SH-S182D (firmware SB06) and Sony DRU-190a (firmware 1.65).

These are the best dual layer discs I have ever used, expensive but worth it for the quality. Tested in 3 DVD burners and didn't see any difference in write quality between the discs made in Singapore and the ones made in India.

I bought two of these 20-pack spindles at Best Buy, same silver colored discs, same packaging and same UPC codes but one was made in India and the other one was made in Singapore. Comments posted by lee220 from United States, May 08, 2008:
