Latest on archival quality DVD?
Hello All:
I have been scouring the Internet for the past few weeks to determine what brand to use to archive some of my music that I transferred from my LP's. Most of the information that I found are several months old. I want to summarize what I've found so far and ask others opinions as to if anything has changed. Here they a * Taiyo Yuden for inexpensive disks. * Some TDK, and Verbatim DVDs are made using Taiyo Yuden media. * The TDK DVDs sold in Cosco in bulk are not made with Taiyo Yuden media. * Rima DVDs are also made with Taiyo Yuden media. * MAN-A gold is the best and has the longest shelf life. * DVD+R 's better than DVD-R in terms of error correction, etc. Comments appreciated!

Shocking! * Rima DVDs are also made with Taiyo Yuden media. sigh... * MAN-A gold is the best and has the longest shelf life. Who told you that? * DVD+R 's better than DVD-R in terms of error correction, etc. Myth. Comments appreciated! The various discs are manufactured by many and far apart. The only issues are of compatibility, the hardware manufacturers release firmware updates to increase a burners compatibility with the ever expanding range of blank media. The only time an incompatibility cannot be altered is if you have a burner that is either "DVD+R" or "DVD-R", but all burners will burn both these days. If a burner is one type only it cannot be changed. If you're having a problem with a specific brand of discs then visit the support link of the burners OEM, download the latest firmware update for your burner. |

I've never heard of them Taiyo-Yuden are probably the best manufacturers of optical discs on our particular planet. * Some TDK, and Verbatim DVDs are made using Taiyo Yuden media. Are they? You can see an example of which manufactureres OEM for which labels on this page. Of course, it changes all the time, so this is a "snapshot" in time... http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm * The TDK DVDs sold in Cosco in bulk are not made with Taiyo Yuden media. Perhaps not today, but TDK has OEMed discs from T-Y in the past and nothing is stopping them from doing it in the future. That is one reason to avoid "label-only" vendors of discs. You never really know what you are getting from month to month. That is why I use Taiyo-Yuden exclusively. They make their own product, and they are consistently in the highest echelon of quality. * Rima DVDs are also made with Taiyo Yuden media. Rima appears to *sell* Taiyo-Yuden beanded media. The various discs are manufactured by many and far apart. The only issues are of compatibility, The issues of reliability and quality appear to be far bigger than "compatibility" IMHO. the hardware manufacturers release firmware updates to increase a burners compatibility with the ever expanding range of blank media. The only time an incompatibility cannot be altered is if you have a burner that is either "DVD+R" or "DVD-R", but all burners will burn both these days. If a burner is one type only it cannot be changed. OTOH, new drives are so cheap, there's no reason to suffer with some old clunker. If you're having a problem with a specific brand of discs then visit the support link of the burners OEM, download the latest firmware update for your burner. Or switch to a brand of discs known for consistent reliability. I use T-Y exclusively and I can't remember the last time I had any problem with discs I've distributed. |

Trevor Wilson Interesting. Here in the U.S., DVD-RAM has very little presence, and the media costs are very high. I understand it is more widely used elsewhere. **Media runs to around AUS$3.00 per disk (non-cartridge type). A lot more expensive than other media. Cheap, for peace of mind though. Trevor Wilson |

All optical discs are theoretically "manufactured to the same standards". Yet there are certain brands that are practically guaranteed coasters, while other brands are notable for extremely low failure rates. All "manufactured to the same standards." The theory behind the operation of the disks allows for very robust error correction systems. DVD-RAM disks operate more like hard drives.... It was practically an orphan format from the moment of conception. DVD-data format uses similar "robust error correction systems". |

I got a restoration task on such a disk (data format) and added a new session with the restored audio. Then as a cure of boredom I made the C1/C2 error test with plextools .... lowest error count I have ever seen - lower than Kodak Gold - and it had two sessions on it burned with different burners.

What dopes out there record in wav files? The ones making CDR's. YOU get to choose your own format. And VERY few cars have DVD players that will play them. Most cars have stereo input jacks, so a simple disc player would easily patch it over just fine. And why should I add another player when I already have a good CD/MP3 player in the car. Are you going to pay for it? Even if you did I don't like loose players rattling around in a car for no good reason that I can see. Now IF YOU DON'T intend to actually listen to them, fine. If you use your brain, you can listen to any medium anywhere. Of course, assuming money and convenience are not important. But hey, do what YOU want, don't tell me what I should do! MrT. |

Are you going to pay for it? Even if you did I don't like loose players rattling around in a car for no good reason that I can see. One disc, ten albums. I see the pile of CDs as being what would be rattling around lose in the car, not to mention the distraction from driving that changing them would create. Well I can fit 10 albums on an MP3 CDR, which is adequate for my car, and requires no further investment on my part. YOUR choices are still up to YOU. MP3 is lame. Actually, Lame is the best MP3 encoder! :-) |
