Hacking Media

[DarkElf101]

So theirs all these post about the different media's to use with wiikey and stuff. Im still not sure what kind to use I was wondering if these would be fine for the wiikey http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/TDK-DVD-Rs-...tDetail.do#tabs
and even though their at 16x what speed should I burn at a lower speed or the highest speed? Any software I should choose over antoher, I have nero btw

ithink recommended speed is 4x/8x, i don't know too much about tdk though. but i do know that verbatim and memorex work fine.

I have TDK DVDr (-) white tops and they work excellent with the WiiKey. Personally I would never run any brand with (+). cause when I burned DVD movie ISO, they would never run on my DVD players.

$15 for 50 from newegg. If they work out, I'll have to look into the buy one get one deal at Costco. How much does a 100 pack usually run there?

Whats the media code on those TDKs? I bought some a while ago thinking TDK had a decent reputation but they turned out to be CMC.

I pay $2 for 1TDK-dvd!
What a scam

How could I forget about TDK. I bought 2 packs of 100 buy one get one free with a coupon at costco a while back. Hopefully the the most recent coupon book is laying around somewhere and I can get the DVD's =p and its a great quality I don't recall many of them or any at all failing
