Someone has found the gold pot.... at least that4s what i think of it: you have to combine at least 3 elements to rule out a brand : you burner, cd-r and software... to burn music, try feurio which does an excellent job at testing and finding the right parameters for burning before actually burning the setup burner-media you use.... unless you want to do the job fast and unchecked, my failure rate is down to 1/50......for data disks I use Roxio Direct CD or HP MyCD which came with my HP 9500 burner... these 2 have an ability of not doing their job right in 1/10 basis, but most of these I manage to listen them at least partially... updates only worsen this situation in my pc... of course all writing is performed as the sole task in a AMD 700MHz, 512MB RAM, 10+40GB HD setup on WinME with lots of soft to enhance memory, cache and net access... Kodak, Imation, TDK, Nashua and Dr. Hank midia are used more frequently as I have the habit of experimenting with different media... so far I can tell you that there are 2 kinds of media: usable, most of them are and unusable which can be avoided by far and wide thru the use of less expensive media.... do not go for the unbranded cheap media unless you can check who made it as these days most of the is OEM by a few companies.... as example, a while ago just Phillips and Sony produced CD reading heads for CD readers.... and let4s wait for the new DVD burners... by the way I have a DVD audio disk and I would like to copy it... dows anyone know of a ripping soft which could transfer it to a CD-R friendly format ? or just replicate it would do ? all the best, keep on surfin4... orion@bhz, brazil
