What blank DVD should I use? Tried Verbatim printable (as recommended)

Per Dec. 2005 post, I had same problem. i.e. freeze after 2-3 minutes on DVD player. Tried using Verbatim blank printables, DVD-R to no avail. Tried burning from Disk Image to no avail. Did repair in disk utilities.
Tried my usual Sony DVD-r (not printable and worked fine) . I plan on burning about 50-100 and need printable, so any recommendations? Can you buy larger quantities of Sony printables anywhere?
Thanks for any help. I told people these would be available the first of August!!!

Beth,
You can't really control the burn speed in idvd but you can make a disk image and control it somewhat from that. read this from Ken Stone:
Image to Disk
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/image_to_diskstone.html
Create a disk image in iDVD 6 and use Apple's Disk Utility or Roxio's Toast Titanium 7 to burn the image to writable media. They give you control over burn speed.
The only way to control burn speed in iDVD is use low speed media (if you can find it). Also using rewriteable media will lower the burn speed in iDVD to it's lowest level which I believe is 2x , that is assuming your own S-drive can address rewritable DVD-RW media. Hope this answers your questions.

  • What type of blank DVD should I use to record photo images that are on my drive E

    I own a HP Pavilion dv5000 with an RW DVD + R DL multi recorder.  My question, which type of blank DVD should I use to record images that are on my drive E?  I can record without problems on a CR-R but when I try a blank DVD-R it won't work.  Please advise.

    Hi,
    Back to the good old days, HP supported only DVD +R discs, some vendors supported DVD -R discs. Now all vendors support both. You may want to try blank DVD +R. Hope this works. Please post back the result.
    Regards.

  • What blank dvd disks to use with macbook

    Hi,
    I feel really daft asking this but I cannot find an answer to my question: to burn a dvd from my macbook, do I need to use dvd-r or dvd+r discs? I bought a pack of the dvd+r and do not want to try them until I know for sure.
    Thanks in advance.

    Both will work if you have a superdrive

  • What kind of blank discs should I use on my macbook?

    What kind of blank discs should I use on my macbook?

    cd-r - for burning audio and MP3 cd's for playback on stereos via iTunes and storing under 700MB in files.
    dvd-r - for burning data dvd's and movies to 4.5GB
    dvd-r ds - dual sided for 9GB
    dvd-r dl - for dual layer on one side about 9GB total, good for making copies of OS X install disks
    dvd-r dl ds  - dual layer double sided for about 18GB total
    then there is blueray dvd's but that requires a external burner and special disks for even larger amounts of data.
    If you see "+" instead of "-" like cd+r, it's a differnet format on the disk, but most all new modern machines can read/burn either now.
    Older machines might only be "-" or "+" with "-" being the most commonly used.

  • What pdf tag should I use for footnotes?

    I get involved in generating fully accessible tagged pdf's for asisstive technologies and the like. I have a doc in InDesign which uses footnotes.

  • HT201788 What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive

    What speed disks should i use in an Apple Superdrive?
    Thanks

    It matters little. The slower the burn speed, i.e. 2x or 4x, the better the burn.
    What is important is the brand of media: most of here recommend Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden.

  • JDev 11, Should we use f:verbatim tag in ADF faces pages?

    When you type something in a facet in a jspx page it automaticaly get into an f:verbatim tag.
    yet in the code it has a warning:
    Using f:verbatium tag can cause undesirable results when used with PPR navigation. For inlining styles or javascript, af:resource should be used instead.
    Also if you use call and return from a dialog page, the page is procken
    [http://adfbugs.blogspot.com/2009/08/returning-from-dialog-to-page-that-has.html]
    Is this a bug? or we should not use f:verbatim?

    You shouldn't be using f:verbatim to just display text on your page instead put the text into one of the output components - such as outputText or the formatted outputText.

  • What Brand of Blank Media Should I Use? Look Here

    The question of blank media brands comes up quite often. Sometimes a poster just asks the question. Other times, it starts with playability issues and moves on to blank media brands.
    Here's a THREAD in the DVD Lounge, that has some good comments. If one has any questions as to what brand they should use, they will benefit from this discussion.
    Good luck,

  • HT1583 What blank DVD disks are compatible with burning a film from Idvd on an applemac?

    I have just finalized a project in imovie and this message came up on the screen - "Your project exceeds the maximum duration. To burn your DVD, change the encoder setting in the project info window".
    I have changed the encoder setting from best fit to Professional but I am having burning the film to a dvd. The computer tells me to load a dvd or my driver is busy - which it isn't it only has a blank dvd disk in it. So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
    HELP!

    Hi
    So I was wondering whether my DVD disks are compatible with the applemac computer!
    And if You tell - what brand and type You are trying to use - I will be so much easier !
    But most often the problem is
    • Do NOT - insert the DVD disk before iDVD specifically as You to do this. As Desktop will catch it and try to format it as a Data-DVD - Not what You want (a Video-DVD) as Data-DVD can not be played on standard DVD-players.
    To get it even better I do
    • Use Verbatim - Never Memorex or NoName etc cheap brands (as they don't work OK for Me)
    • DVD-R - as they play on even older DVD-players
    • Burn Speed - set down to x2 or x4 MAX ! - Best IS NOT BEST at all here !
