i have a *cough* windows *cough* program which reports on the quality of the dye and chemical on the CD. contact me off list if u want it. afaik szemir *did* mention in his presentation that cdrecord does the same except it reports the dye quality as 'a grade' , 'b grade' etc, as far as decyphering what 'a' quality means maybe check the cdrecord website.
to the length of my experience with cd-r's, if u want to keep an application for years to come then go with long term high quality dye cd's, aka verbatim or sony or some of the name brands. it's really not worth saving those few extra $$$ on crappy cd's aka cicero from futureshop j ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marcin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "clug-talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 10, 2003 4:57 PM Subject: (clug-talk) Disk sub type rating in cdrecord I think that during his presentation, Szemir mentioned that disk sub type somehow indicates the quality of the media. I'm currently using pinkish "Power" CD-Rs purchased a while ago from QDI and I'm only getting B-. So is A better than B? Or perhaps it only means that different disks need to be recorded using a slightly different writing process? -- Marcin
