Maybe that's why the Maxells did not work and the Imations did.
Both had the same MID ("Philips 041") so the discs were presumably the
same. The only difference may be that they were pre-formatted by
different companies.
I had the same thing happen many years ago with a box of Sony 1.2MB
floppy discs which were supposed to be pre-formatted. They did not
work so I re-formatted them and they still didn't work. The entire box
was bad so either they used complete junk, which is unlikely, or their
pre-formatting procedure screwed them up. And since you can't
low-level format a floppy, they were worthless because of the bad
pre-format.
I wonder if you can low-level format a DVD disc.
