Datawrite Dvds - Wtf?

Post by Greystoke »

ok, so i got a couple of shows on datawrite dvds.

the discs show up as writable cds on my PC and on my laptop AND when I put them in my external burner.

But, they work in my SA.

What the hell is wrong with these discs?

They are some cheap motherfuckers, Datawrite is one of the worst Dvds a trader can use. Yet many traders still use em to save a cent or two :cry:

Reburn them. If if they play fine right now they may go south later. I have had to replace a bunch of shows that were burned on those.

Try to indentify the MediaCode ID and then check out THIS list to see what it says about the quality in general of the disc in question.

To Indentify the disc you could use THIS little prog.

Good luck.
