I have some problems with Verbatim DVD-R discs on my Wiikey'd Wii (let's call it Wii-A) and my brother's Wiikey'd Wii (Wii-B). Before I used Verbatims, I burned a lot of Wii- and GC games on TDK -R discs and all work flawlessly.
Now here are my experiences with Verbatim, which I find strange in some cases:
1. I have burned two Sonic Rings, one on a TDK and one on a Verbatim, both burned 4x with ImgBurn. The one on Verbatim has a second of skipping music in the level select menu on Wii-A, but it works perfectly on Wii-B. The one on the TDK -R works perfectly on both.
2. I made a multigame Iso using the selfboot GCOS of four GC games. To test it, I burned it on my Verbatim DVD+RW on 4x with ImgBurn. Worked flawessly on my Wii-A. Then I burned the same Iso to a Verbatim -R on 4x with ImgBurn and got problems: One of the GC games (Mario Golf PAL) ran in slow motion. Everything is slowed down, from menus till actual gameplay. I took the same disk to my brother and worked perfectly on his Wii-B. When I burned the same Iso to a Verbatim -R, but this time on 8x, it works on my Wii-A too.
3. Wario Ware burned on Verbatim -R 4x: It works flawlessly on my Wii-A, but on Wii-B sometimes the disc is not recognized. I then burned it with 8x, but got the same result.
All discs were burned using the LG-H42N, which is according to test results one of the best burners out there.
So can anyone explain this behaviour? I have like 40 Verbatim -R discs lying here, but as far as I see they are making a lot of problems, where the TDKs work perfectly.
