I realise people reading this are going "oh yeah, what's he putting on those CDs at work?". Reality is, we send out a Sh*t Load of Power Point presentations on Cd, pics (big tiffs), and other large files that a floppy would roll over and die at. Sorry I just always feel guilty when talking about blank CDs as I think people are going "software piracy!" or something along those lines, but since the advent of cheaper CD writers and real cheap blank CDs, our processes have changed for the better with the moving of large files...sorry to go on, but glad to get that off my chest. |

| 135697 | 2003-04-14 22:46:00 | I've tried the warewhare ones.. yeah they're OK but as i've only used 20 I can't be 100% sure of the quality. I have burnt a few hundred "DORADO" disks which are $9/platter of 10 from warewhare stationary, and the only problems leading to dud disks have been problems "in front of the monitor" :p None have failed (yet) some months down the track like some other disks have done. .Clueless |

| 135698 | 2003-04-14 23:02:00 | Yeah... Clueless> Most dorado disc's burn fine for me.. In fact, pretty much everything will burn in my Ricoh MP7320A, but.. Can other CD-ROM's read them? Thats the question.. The only CD-R I've had a 100% success rate with is the Kodak Gold + Silver Ultima, as SKC, dont work several old drives... TDK are the same... Dorado are pretty good... Melody do better... but only these Kodak ones work on EVERY drive I've tried :-) |

| 135699 | 2003-04-14 23:11:00 | well Chill, I have a audio CD player thats a little sad, its the one in my office. there is one disk "wire, on returning" that it would not play. Its an old disk, (remember the ones that were grey with black pinting over that?) anyway, i burnt myself a copy on a durado CD and this sad CD player has no problem with it. (i wonder if this will post, the forum seems to be having problems) .Clueless |

| 135700 | 2003-04-14 23:58:00 | The Warehouses Transonic suit my writer(an old 4X4X24 ZIP650). The 24x are not as reliable as their older12X blanks,but much better than some of the "Brand names" available! Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |

| 135702 | 2003-04-15 05:03:00 | Toshiba suggest the following . "The colour of the materials used to make the CD can affect its reliability . Silver-coloured CDs are the most reliable, followed by Gold-coloured CDs . Green-coloured ones are the least reliable . " Why, I don't know . Choose your favourite brand and note the colour . Guess they are like VCR tapes, "you get what you pay for" . Cheap ones are often of below spec . quality . OldEric |
