Yes its here, the new Verbatim 16X DVD+R with media ID, MCC004:

DVDInfoPro:

How were your results @16x? I still don't see any available 16x media almost 2 months after you got these. How does the dye looked compared to a 4x or 8x burn? And I thought 8x was amazing.

The same.

There is a topic in this forum for those media burned with several dvd burners.

thx Iggy, i'll find that topic and read it. I hope 16x media becomes widely available by X-Mas.

(in reply to Iggy)

Sure they will.

By the way I just found the thread:

I have tested

DVD+R 16x from Philips(Philips C016) some weeks ago and the compatibility was very poor.

8x possible on the Pioneer DVD-R 108
4x possible on te NEC 3500

No other drives available or installed on that moment internally.
I have to test this on the plextor 716/Liteon 1633S still. But I have there compatibility list and on this moment mostly only the BENQ/philips drives burn them on 16 ( also maybe the latest AOPEN drive but I am not sure of that)

So on high speed dvd recording => firmware well stay very crucial.

So besides the big brands ( Verbatim / Ricoh ) I dont expect a high compatibilty with other media soon.

I think good compatibility can be reached @ the end of Q1 next year.

I have received my Pioneer multi format DVR-S806 16 X DVD, 4 X DL etc with firewire or USB 2.0 connects, I bought a ADS 'Pyro' A/V Linkfor my video capture both the Pioneer and the ADS both connect to each other and my laptop via firewire. I was surprised to see component inputs that could be reversed for output on the ADS Pyro.

BTW Ulead Video 8 & Ulead Photo Explorer 8.0 -"The Tool to Manage your Digital Media Files" software came with the Pioneer. The Pyro software disc contains the Pyro Version 1.5, Main Bundle: Video Studio 7 SE DVD [PC] with boonus PhotoShow Trial. The websie on the Pyro disc is www.adstech.com

Both of the devices came with good sized manuals, I think I am going to need this for all this stuff to be understood for DVD, not DVD coasters. :)

Edit: I went to the site and here it word for word a cut, copy, and paste:

(in reply to tqhoang)

Can I use those X16+R for PS2 games ? backups or ISOz however you call it ...

(in reply to happiniess)

Hi! Still anybody here?

I just found out that the 16x DVD+R from Intenso have mediacode MCC 004 too. They are 14% cheaper than the ones from Verbatim.

Do you think, they are exactly the same quality if the mediacode is the same or could there be differences though?

(in reply to major9686)

Interesting information, but i don't think that Verbatim gives away their media ID codes or do OEM business, not 100% sure again

(in reply to kubus)

Hi ,
is there anyone how has the full compatibility list of the 16x Verbatim with MCC 004 code ?
Or is there anyone who can tell me where  I can fiind it ?ù
Also  i would lke to know do you think that the compatibilty with these code can change by using different dye . This code was made for MCC dye , what will happen if manufactureres use for example ciba dye ?
