Hi.
i m fr singapore. i have mcc003. LG 12x burns at 8x only
http://geocities.com/raygay27/media_verbatim8x_1.txt

amendment: my media is actually the .....X47B. so i guess it is the 12x version as when i inserted it in lg4120 and prepared to burn using Nero, 12x was detected as an option to burn.

(in reply to raygay)

Verbatim 8X +R - Made in Taiwan - Inner Serial # PAH633IB11140291 1

--------------------------------------

Look the same, same shipment, but they have the different codes in the extended
MID information area, so the first could be 8x rated, and the 2nd could maybe burn 12x

Serial # pattern completely different from the first posting.

(in reply to emperor)

Interesting, so the "Made In" is different and the inner serial, could be from a different plant?

(in reply to DoesItMatter)

Even worse now, it seems that even Taiwan Made media comes in two flavours!
What on earth is Verbatim doing? If the discs are different, they should at least give them different order codes!

(in reply to emperor)

Yes it seems situation is total mess, i imagine in short time when the old media phases out, all Verbatim 8X would be from the new type!

(in reply to cvs)

i just burned one at 12x. great!

Good new raygay...!

(in reply to raygay)

KenW (on here as well) and I had performed various tests with Singapore and Taiwan made
MCC 003 and thought that the Singapore media performed better.

Then I did this burn on a 401@811 Zebra Mod running HS0P firmware...

This is TAIWAN branded media... Zebra seemed to like it.

I've finally got my hand picked drive today, and before I start testing it, here are my promissed extended media ID codes for the 8x and 12x Verbatim media.

All discs (including the 12x one) are 8x Verbatims, Singapore made, and identified as:

Verbatim DataLifePlus, AdvancedAZO, Printable, Jewel Cased, order code 43274, MCC003 Rev00


First the "12x" disc:

ZC8365-DVR-X47B

00000000 08 02 00 00 A1 0F 02 00 00 03 00 00 00 25 F1 5F .............%._
00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 4D 43 43 00 00 00 00 00 30 .......MCC.....0
00000020 30 33 00 38 23 54 37 12 02 42 6E 02 A8 6B 15 15 03.8#T7..Bn..k..
00000030 0B 0B 08 08 01 19 1B 0C 0C 0C 0D 01 00 00 00 00 ................


And now the "8x" disc:

ZC7156-DVR-X47A

00000000 08 02 00 00 A1 0F 02 00 00 03 00 00 00 25 F9 3F .............%.?
00000010 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 4D 43 43 00 00 00 00 00 30 .......MCC.....0
00000020 30 33 00 38 23 54 37 15 02 52 6C 02 B4 63 15 15 03.8#T7..Rl..c..
00000030 0B 0A 08 08 01 19 1B 0C 0C 0C 0D 01 00 00 00 00 ................

Although they were made in Singapore and have different SN's compared with Made in Taiwan media shown in this thread, the extended media codes are the same with the ones Taiwan Made media carry (except for the 12x media, where the first row is slightly different: "?" (3F) is replaced by "_" (5F).
