Sony DVD Media vs. Others
Can anybody give me any feedback of using Sony branded mini-DVD media vs. other brands? Other than the annoying "Sony Disc Recommended" message when I power up my DVD-305, are there any noticeable performance differences with Sony brand media?
I am currently using Memorex DVD+RW discs in my camcorder. In terms of image quality, they have been fine. However, as I mentioned in another thread, I have on several occasions had the camcorder give me an error message saying that the door has been inadvertently open, and every time this happens the disc gets corrupted and I have to use Isobuster to recover (which takes pretty much all day). It's really an annoying problem that I haven't been able to solve and I wonder if the media really has anything to do with it.
The Sony media is clearly much more expensive. I saw a 3-pack of discs at Best Buy for $15.95. I can buy a 10 pack of the Memorex for $22.95. If it really makes a difference, the price is not an issue - I'll spring for the better media. Any feedback would be appreciated.
