You should be find with any brand your CD-RW manufacturer recommends. Kodak Gold have been recommended in other newsgroups but I understand they are no longer made unless you stumble upon a stored supply. Kodak Gold&Silver should be fine.
I've been using Fujifilm 700MB 16X CD-Rs on my Plextor with nary a problem, writing at 16X There should be no problem with a data CD including image data - audio CDs are different, though I'm not expert enough to explain how or why. There is a CD FAQs site at http://www.cdrfaq.org/ and a "Resources for CD-R" site by Mike Richter at http://www.mrichter.com/cdr/welcome.htm Maris ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shel Belinkoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Pentax List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, October 21, 2001 1:39 PM Subject: CDs for Photo Storage | Hi Gang, | | What should I look for when buying CDs for storing scanned photos and | negs? Are there different grades of CDs, some perhaps being better | suited for music and others for use with photos on the computer? Any | brands especially worth considering? | | I once received a music CD that was burned using another list members CD | writer and it didn't play on my computer but worked just fine on my | regular stereo system. Is that a possibility when using a CD for | photos? I'll be scanning and burning on another machine. OTOH, I've | never had a problem using the CDs that the local lab scanned. | | So, what's up with CDs? What must I know in order to make a wise | choice? | -- | Shel (Digitally Dysfunctional) Belinkoff | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | - | This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
