Panasonic DMR-E95HS Won't Record to TDK 8X DVD-Rs?!

In article <1yQ5e.7665519$f47.1407 @news.easynews.com>,

That's because TDK makes their own CD-Rs with coatings they
developed.  But there are very few DVD manufacturers with almost
all brand names using other to make them for them.  I understand
that some are made with coatings specifed/shipped by the brand-name
company so that disks from the same plant may not be the same.

Interesting.  I trade CD-Rs with some big traders and TDK is considered
on of the best brands.  I guess you can't assume that the same goes for
DVD-Rs.


Thanks.  That's what I needed to know.

My DVD recorder is on top of my Sony 32" TV right now, but it doesn't
get hot up there.  I'll try a spacer and see what happens, anyway.

$20 at Best Buy.

Good suggestion.  Thanks.

I just traded my TDK 50-pack for a Verbatim 50-pack (happened to be $20
today at Best Buy) and the first Verbatim disk is recording right now.
Thanks again, maiet.

My 95 has done this a few times, but in my case it was simply over heating
sometimes due to being in the middle of a Satellite receiver and a VCR, it
was like a bleedin furnace at times when I opened the disk tray.  After I
seperated all the gear with some spacers to allow air flow, problem was
sorted, or maybe the machine just saw me coming with ma screw driver and big
hammer.    You bought 50 TDK DVDs, how much did that cost ya? Just get
Datawrites 5 to 7 quid for 25, the TDKS are over priced and nothing special,
always check disks for any flaws before use no matter what brand they are
and dont get the slightest mark on the recording side, if in doubt bin the
disk its no great financial loss.

tdk are rat shit with panasonic recorders dude. Dont worry, just never use
them again!!!  I use Verbatim, sony, imation, even cheap ritek and ridata. I
have a E100, E85 and an old E55, tdk is crap in all of them, except for
those new Amour plated tdk's, they are fine, but expensive!!!!!
