| 678372 | 2008-06-16 01:14:00 | I've burnt Whitcoulls 48x cd-rs at 48x and the errors were so bad the data was unreadable I've used Mitsubishi 52x at 52x and they worked perfectly |

Mitsubishi (which made most Verbatim and some Sony among others) are the best bang for buck. Taiyo Yuden are better quality, but I think they are disproportionately more expensive. |

| 678374 | 2008-06-16 02:37:00 | Mitsubishi ftw. I nearly always burn CDs at 32x, very rarely have any issues with the burn, generally it's a dodgy CD and the whole burn fails rather than some data being unreadable. Data DVDs @ 16x and Video @ 8x. I like Sony DVDRs, have a spindle of 50, almost finished them without a single dodgy burn. :) |

| 678375 | 2008-06-16 06:22:00 | This is turning out to be an interesting discussion. Ive learnt something new (to me) today! Woo! | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 678376 | 2008-06-16 09:14:00 | Hi Rob* Did I miss a mention of which OS you have? For six months I have been using Vista, which permits DVD burning without a third party prog. I simply put a blank in the select "burn files to disc using windows". Sort of made my Nero redundant. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 678377 | 2008-06-16 10:03:00 | Im using Xp, I think, guessing, its my cds that are causing my issues, Ill have to pay a lil extra for the top dogs, which I dont mind doing if it means Ill get a decent result. I wish you could fit more normal audio tracks on one cd though. Averaging around 18 - 20 tracks per discs as my work player doesnt play mp3s. |

Unless you're using some particularly rubbishy disks, it could be the burner. The DVD and CD lasers are separate, one section can be failing while the other still goes OK. |
