Finally! A DVD-R That Works Correctly On Standalones!

[TheMovieGuru]

I Have been testing many different types of media with IFO Edit and DVD Decrypter to find that most media has trouble with many standalone players and the ps2. I have finally found some that works great! It can be found at www.judysdeals.com in the DVD media section of the site. I also bought a region free DVD player there and it worked great with the DVD-R media that I got from them. P.S. I turned on a few friends to the site and they bought DVD+RW media and were also happy with it.

The new DVDDecrypter works great! Will never use smartripper again :)

I just switched to the judysdeals discs too. At $1.59 each in lots of 100 the price is hard to beat -- and they seem to be much better quality than the cdrecordable.com discs I used to buy!

Just FYI, TheMovieGuru is affiliated with Judy's Deals. If you look at his posts, they all shamelessly promote the media from Judy's Deals.

I've never used the media, so I can't say anything about it's quality or compatability, but it only writes at 1x (even though it says something about 4x on the site).

Make your own decisions, but don't base them on anything that TheMovieGuru says.

Well I'm not associated with Judy's deals in any way, and I am very happy with the product. You are correct -- it advertises as 4x but only writes at 1x on my A03 writer. The choice of burning speed is made by the writer -- and apparently this media isn't on the Pioneer "2X approved" list.

You're right about his posts... I just looked and every one was promoting these discs...

I do admit to promoteing the discs but that does not mean that I am affiliated with the website by any means. I have been a member of the mpucoder forum for a very long time and I feel that I have helped many users with ripping and rempeg, etc.. I wrote a tutorial on rempeging just the first vob of a movie which saved many users a ton of time. I am sorry that you guys felt that I was spamming the forum by mentioning a place to buy media. I have tried tons of media since I have been into dvd-r for a long time.

You can ask other members about me that were in the mpucoder forum if you wish.

I am sorry for the rant but I was a little surprised to receive a warning about spamming since I did not feel that I was spamming the forum at all.

Anyone else have good luck with these? I'm considering buying a pack. I still have about 15 discs left from cdrecordables.com's latest batch that are useless in my ps2. This is the first bad batch I've received from them and I don't want to chance getting another one at $70 a pack.

Hi,

I too am sorry about the remarks made about you.

I think bluespot was a bit quick off the mark saying what he did.

I followed some of your threads on the mpucoder forum, so know that you strive to give good information where possible. In fact I'm trying to follow one of your guides at the moment (ReMpeg2 churning away in the background)

I have found a few discrepences in some of the instructions, but I'll see it through to the end before I comment in detail.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

...whilst we're on the subject of DVD-R media, particularly with reference to PS2, its probably worth pointing out that compatibility (in my experience) can vary from model to model (ie a disk that works in a first revision PS2 may not in a 2nd revision, or vice versa) moral of the story:

*** Always get a sample first, and check it on all the drives you intend to use it on ***

Movieguru,
Any chance of guiding me to your tutorial about rempeging just the first VOB?:D Pretty Please:D
Happy ripping

MovieGuru,

It's cool. If the discs are good there's absolutely nothing wrong with making that known.
