HiYa Pete, thanks for the tip on the 'Black' Fuji media. My only 'techie' relative mentioned these to me over the weekend. He's been a mac disciple since the begining having bought like the third one sold here in Michigan way back when. He's a programmer, engineer, optics, physics, etc etc etc expert currently doing his interdisciplinary thing managing multiple projects at an aerospace company. He used some of these Discs to send pictures and videos to his daughter across the country, but during a visit carrying his shiny new MacBook Pro he discovered their 'blackness' tripped up his drive. He said it was a laser disperion problem - the discs read perfectly in his wife's older ibook and his daughters pc's but choked in his MacBook. As incredibly wonderful these UV and Light defending discs are, they might be a little to exotically engineered for my particular application. I also intend for these discs to be in light tight storage anyway and the benefits derived from the 'engineered sunscreen' the black fuji's aren't really needed.
Has anyone heard of " Taiyo Yuden " the japanese cdr dvdr media manufacturer? I am bumping into postings, pages, and vendors, hailing their discs as being the definite first choice for burning with. The postings are religiously devoted and the ancedotes widely expressed by buyers and audiophiles and such emphatically describe clean, consistent, and accurate burned discs. They also describe consistently NOT burning coasters when using the taiyo yuden media.
