Another Revision Of Verbatim's 8x DVD+RW Media?
Posted: Wed Apr 26, 2006 7:45 pm
About a year or so ago, I got some samples of Verbatim's 8x DVD+RW media. They had the MID you see below.
These discs were problematic as the MID was missing the data that told a drive they supported the 8x writing speed. Verbatim soon followed up with these discs.
As you can see, these discs have the extra data in the 0060 and 0070 rows.
Recently, I was sent a few discs by a company for a drive of theirs I was reviewing. They had the MID you see below.
Like the original revision, these discs were missing the data in rows 0060 and 0070. Oddly enough, they were also missing the data in rows 0020 through 0050.
I'd say that these discs were an error, but with one drive I'm testing they actually work at 8x while the other two revisions don't. Has anyone else seen Verbatim 8x DVD+RW discs with this MID?
