oh btw, the failure rate of the disc is 70-80% for every 10.
7-8 disc will have write/burn failure every 10
fark. Even el-cheapo discs dont have tis problem
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.<--------- brand of the disk
ATIP: 97m 26s 65f
Disc Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics Corp.<------- actual manufacturer
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.
