Try buying some Taio Yuden from www.blankmedia.ca, that is where I get my discs, TYG02 Media Code. Sony is okay, but not the best. Be sure to get DVD-R as I had serious issues with the DVD+R Sony's with my Pioneer burners and Wii.

Ya i heard wii has problems with +R and makes a werid sound. But the problem is i can't order online. Parents don't let me. Sucks...

I use sony dvd+r and dvd-r on my gamecube and they work perfectily, with the well known riteks i get read errors, so sony disc should be also good for wii

Actually, Sony is very good quality media. I burned several Wii games on Sony DVD-R's and have had not one DRE. It is also listed as 1st class media on here: http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm

I have used Imation 16x DVD-R and Sony 8x DVD+R and have had working and non working disks on both. Once I figured out what speed the disks actually like and with what program, I can pretty much burn a working disk every time. Between my wife and I we've put loads of hours on Excite Truck, which was burned on the Sony disk and not a single DRE ever.

For the record, I have used the DVD+R disks with both + and - booktypes and have noticed no difference in number of working disks compared to non working disks with either. I use WiiFree.

I'm getting low on both types but I'm going to try something different. I think I'll go with Sony 16x DVD-R if I can find them cheap. Otherwise I've heard loads of people swearing by Verbatim and TY, so I'll maybe pricewatch those and go with whatever's cheaper.

What's the deal with +R's? All of my wii games are on +R media and have had absolutely no problems with them. I heard how many drives seem to react differently with different media but what issue are you having? What's the "weird sound" that is being heard?

My burner likes burning at 8x. I get lower quality burns writing at 16x. Sony dvd media is amazing. stay away from their cd-r's though. I would also stay away from Imation dvd media as well.

1st = Yudens
2nd = Sony's
3rd = Verbatim, TDK or Maxell as long as they weren't outsourced to a crappy company/country.

some of the sony's are ty's, you should check the media code

 

[kristijan08]

yep some sonys are TYs also some a RICOHJPN from memory, also very good... they vary in quality and its hard to say which is which. In general, they are decent

I burn all my games on Sony +R on 16x without any problems! They work great!

I said that phillips +r disc aren't good because they are made by a different(worse) brand, generally +r doesn't mean that it won't work

The ones I have are TG001162, which apparently are TY, so it's no wonder I have good luck with these. Guess I'll go with TY next time I buy.

the stupidest thing happened to me yesterday. Remember i said i had no access to the internet. Well there shop is TWO blocks alway from my house XD........ I went there yesterday and i got my 300 TYs YAY and it only costed like 10 dollars for 50 discs. (Got this because they are chinese and my parents were able to talk with them and they give me a REALLY good discount)

Sony DVD-R are very good, i've burned about 10 backups at 16x speed with no problems.
