99min/870MB & 120min/1.3GB CDR's...good deal?

[FunkmasterT]

this german place has 99min CDR 50 pack for 79.50DM but what's that in US dollars?

can't wait till these become more widely available in the US

they also have 120min/1.3gb cdr's but no price yet:

i don't think these are using the sony double density format, so we should be able to burn and play them in most current hardware.

can you burn them 1.3 gig cdr with a plextor 8x4x32?

 

[FunkmasterT]

i think you can if your software supports it. currently, i don't think ezcd 5 does, but nero does support the 99min cdr's.

The 1.3GB discs may be for the new Sony drive that has a new burn mode. You probably cannot write these discs with the Plextor, and probably can't read them with the Plextor either. The Plextor can burn the 99 minute blanks, but I THINK (not entirely sure) that I read the Plextor only burns to 90 minutes.

Fixed first link. They have more info on the 99min cdrs on the same site here (looks like MisterE is correct, the Plextor can only write up to 90min according to these people, bummer).

Yeap... the Plextor can only burn to 90 minutes.

Here's a list of some drives tested with 99 minute CD-R's from CD Media World

Im almost positive its the sony dd... because i have some already, but i cant use it w/o the stupid drive.

Anyway are these cd's legit, u sayin i can record 99min of music?

 

[SKORPI0]

NE1 know where I can find them in the US? Would like to try this w/ the Iomega/Plextor 121032A. Downloaded Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon DivX and its 857 MB!!! :frown:

 

[fong718]

so can we order these from them? and are they safe? =X

Just FYI. CompUSA has 99min 850mb CDR's, a 16 pack for around $14.99 I think. I work there and I think we've had them for about 3-4 weeks now. We also have 80min+ CDR's, which supposedly write up to 90min on certain CD writers, I dunno which ones though. Those are $9.99 for a 15 pack. Both of these come with the slimline jewel cases, and are CompUSA branded media. This isn't necessarily a better deal, just thought I'd let you know that you can get them locally as well if you want.

The only thing with these things is that these aren't exactly CD standards. Don't expect all of your CD-RW's to write them, god forbid your CD-ROM to actually read them.

Make sure you read this page before ordering them:

so are cd players going to have problems trying to read these cd's? or they'll work fine?
thanks ahead of time.
