Blank DVDs in Peats

    Just a quick word of warning to anyone thinking of buying the blank DVDs in Peats. They used to sell the 4 speed Yellow topped Datawrites for 29 quid for 25 discs.

    Now they've changed to some brand called QP which they sell at the same price and the discs say they're 4 speed. However, after multiple burnings and use of many different programs the QP discs will not burn at anything faster than 2 speed. They also seem lighter and cheaper than the Datawrites (eventhough the datawrites themselves are supposed to be cheap media!) Oh and the QP website printed on the discs just goes to a holding site!

    They burn fine though and seem to work. One has given me an error at 100% but it works fine in my player so not that concerned.

    I'm using an LG 4040B burner and a combo of Nero 6 and CloneDVD depending on how the mood takes me!

    Anyone got them to burn at 4 speed please let me know. Thanks.

    Even though they are recognised as 4x by software as max write speed...You can only burn at 2x..:mad:
