Lightbulb DVD-A Compiling a list of compatible DVDs

It would be helpful to have a list of TL compliant DVD Rs. Some people have claimed that +R disks work. If you have working +R disks I encourage you to run this free disk media identifier that shows who manufactured the disk.

So you think it's Memorex or Maxell ? No chance. Their disks are made by the cheapest bidder for the production run and will be a company few of us have ever hear of. There are a few brands who make their own but as an example I tried a Verbatim 16x DVD+R disk is actually made by Mitsubishi Chemical Corp. And NO it did not work in the TL.

Most DVD-R disks work in the TL as do DVD+DL disks. I have not come across any -R disk that would not work. A few of my disk with the results below. I may stand to be corrected here.

Follow this link to get the identifier utility. It's freeware. Run the util and hit the copy to clipboard icon and paste into your message here on AZ.

Every DVD-R I've ever tried - FujiFilm, Memorex, Maxell, TDK, plus others I can't remember - WORKS in TL.

I think the only real question is are there any +R media that work reliably in the TL - problems with -R media have been few and far between.
