dun be surprised if those discs are actually manufactured by
those same el cheapo disc manufacturer.Most of the discs on the
market are actually manufactured by a few major company only (these
TDK,Sony etc company subcontract out),and different variety of same
brand disc can be manufactured by different companies.Most of these
companies also manufacture those el cheapo no brand discs.A major
example is CMC Magnetics Corp (made in taiwan) which actually
manufacture a sizable proportion of disc on the market for various
companies and also el cheapo disc.The general comment is that disc
made by this company is of low to average quality.Another company
Taiyo Yuden Company Limited (japan made disc) also make disc for a
few companies but is consider one of the best in the market (there
is this certain mark on the disc to show it is manufactured by this
company).
I am not sure what burning software are u using,but if you are
using Nero,there is an sub program installed too when you install
the main program to check which disk manufacturer actually made the
disk.Using such program to check on a disc will reveal an example
of such a list to you.
Lite-On LTR-52246S, F/W 6S0F, 650Mb data.
ATIP: 97m 26s 65f
Disc Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corp.
Reflective layer: Phase change
Media type: CD-ReWritable
Recording Speeds: min. 4X - max. 8X
nominal Capacity: 658.89MB (75m 00s 00f / LBA: 337350)
That is why even if you call up TDK for example,they will not
actually know what is wrong since they may not be the one who
actually made the disc.
Well this is what i learnt from this certain cdfreaks forum
not sure if i am allowed to post a link but if it is not
allowed,mod can remove it.
