    new Cheaper Media that works other than verbatim

    tried and tested using LG GSA H55N

    now tested aone plus (+) gold edition dvd+r dl off ebay for about ?7.50 for 25 dual layer disks that these work fine, so it may save u some money? i burned at 4x and didnt encounter any problems!

    previously i bought 10 verbatims code 43666 at the same price.


    so this is really a good heads up, they are doing the trick for me anyway and i didnt think it was possible, ive had very bad experiences with those green xbox360's infinites 1 out of 25 burned.

    Andy.

    edited info: burned at 4x speed and was set correctly, also layer zero accepts layer break changes upto a maximum of 200000+ so all is cool
    yet to try 8x but appears there would be np but im sticking at 4x for a good burn.

    im sure this will be helpful to those googling.

    Aone - BAD MEDIA KEEP AWAY! Discs work fine for so long then degrade badly over time then fail.. Avoid ! Cheap media not worth it!
    Elite - Used to work fine and now have gone abd just like Aone did they were a great disc now they have gone downhill and failures are just around the corner. Avoid
    Verbatim - Good media as long as you get the right ones as clones are doing the rounds beware!!
    Memorex - Unpredictable you can have good batches and bad ones.

    RITEK ARITA Ones im using now work fine on pioneer,lg samsung dvd writers.

    Yes you can use cheaper media but it puts more and more strain on the laser on the xbox and that will kill it quicker! Cheaper brands are best to avoid as it will cost you in the long run with lasers and discs degrading rapidly. The choice is yours but Aone and Elite need to be avoided at all costs as these will kill the laser on your 360 and they dont hold data very well.
    Insanity is hereditary, you get it from your kids!


    Be the change you want to see in the world
