I used some cheap brand before, Maxell. I had a plextor 8/20 (which was totally tha`shit back then)
and a buddy had a Yamaha 6x. He burned an iso at 6x and I burned one at 8x for a playstation backup. His cd skipped constantly on any FMV. while the 8x disc played fine. Same brand, same box, burned the same iso at the same time. The moral of this story is: Try different media to your burner and test it in a bad CD player. Plextor is solid, I haven't tested my 40x in a comparison, but I know my old 8x will burn any media and it'll play in (have yet to find one) any cd player fine. wasn't the case with my 24x liteon. any questions feel free, Richard. ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Hall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 8:09 AM Subject: (clug-talk) Re: Burning ISO CDs > At 23:16 2002-08-25 -0600, Shane wrote: > >Just curious about what disks folks have had success with.... > > I use Memorex CD-R 80 (these have green dye) in an HP CD-Writer+ 8200 with > no problems, but I don't burn at maximum speed.
