hi guys
i dont trade but im thinking about getting into it in the new year.so im transfering everything to dvd..
my question i have purchased a package of sony discs.i sem to be getting mostly coasters.anyone else have trouble with this disc.:)

I sometimes use the Sony DVD-R disks, but I haven't had any problems with them, what are you using to record them?

well im new to this but im recording them at 12x speed.im using a general electric vcr and a lite on dvd recorder.neither have ever giving me any trouble.hees whats happening .i transfer some and a message comes up saying write fail. when i try to use the disc again i cant.
im using dvd -r disks by the way

maybe i should invest in a more expensive recorder:wave:

i have a few Lite-On recorders, i haven't had problems with them - maybe you should reduce the write speed or try a different brand of disks

hi, i have tried several brands and verbatim 4x dvd-r work the best for me. i have found that with my stand alone recorders that i transfer from vhs to dvd, that any brand seems to work. i get alot coasters when i use other brands besides verbatim in my duplicator. it is alot more pickier about discs that the vcr dvd recorder combos. thanks

Taiyo Yuden (Japan made) is the best there is. You likely won't find them in a retail store. You can get them (8x speed) for about .25 -.30 each at

The Taiyo Yuden Valuelines are a great deal. Not as good as the Premiums, but well worth it. Very few coasters.
