I'm using TDK DVD-R47A....

[Carlos Garcia]

Hi, I just bought 50 of the DVD-R47A from thenerds.net. They come in jewel cases, and even though they are supposed to be 2X certified, when I've tried to burn them at 2X, my discs lock up near then end. I've messed up 4 discs like this...I thought this was supposed to be the best TDK media out there? Oh well, at least I can send the bad media back to TDK for replacements, but I won't be burning at 2X with these discs anymore...Does anyone know if TDK has any better DVD-R media out there than the 47A? My Pioneer 104 sure doesn't like them at 2x :(

I know TDK has 2x media, I've used no problems at all. I was gonna order these same disks, I don't care if they don't burn at 2x, how do they play back if burned at 1x?, also what burning app and burner are you using?

I'm using the latest version of Nero, and my burner is a Pioneer 104 with firmware version 1.31. The 1X burns work great, I've already played them back in both my dvd player, a Sampo 631CF, and my DVD recorder, Philips DVDR985. I've given up on 2X though, don't want to chance it anymore...It's apparent my burner and the TDK media just don't like the 2X speed.
