DVD-R and DVD-RW Media Compatibility List

Media is listed with Supplier Information, Media Brand and part number (used on suppliers webpage).

 

Key:

  1. NT – Not Tested, as of yet.
  2. TBD – To Be Determined.  The results will be up shortly.
  3. Speeds of successful burn and verification are shows. 
    1. Example #1:   1x  à the disk only burns successfully at 1x and the 2x burn was tested but failed.
    2. Example #2:   2x  à the disk burns successfully at 2x and the 1x burn was not tested because 2x is faster.
    3. Example #3:   1x & 2x à the disk was tested 1st at 1x and burned successfully. Tested again at 2x and burned successfully.
  4. Empty cells imply I have no results for those drives (since my drive is the Toshiba 2x)
