CD-R Quality
  • The conclusion is very simple: Quality & Low Prices just don't mix!
    There are a lot of low-budget CD-R's of which the quality is very bad. For some applications, like games, the quality doesn't matter much as this is not critical data. For vital data, like backups, it is very important to choose a CD brand which will keep your data intact for a long time.

    The biggest low-budget CD-R vendor here in Europe CD-R's is Ritek. Especially the ones made for Arita are well known everywhere.
    Ritek prides itself on the quality of their CD-R's but it seems that the CD-R's made in the their factories are not as good as they say!

    Keep in mind that CD-R vendors sometimes change from one CD factory to another and then sometimes keep the same CD layout and type. This can be very confusing. More on this issue can be read in the CD Factories article.

    Also don't confuse CD-R Compatibility for CD-R Quality as they are two totally different things!
 
Ornery: ive read that also, but ive never had an issue with whoever makes the Memorex CD-Rs and DVD+Rs that i use, i have ones from 5 years ago that still work fine

thats what i had before but i noticed that they usually wouldnt get even close to thier rated burn speed
 
strange, i have a 40x burner they burn at 40x just fine
i buy 4x DVD+Rs and burn them at 8x with no issues

what speed can you burn them on on your burner? cause the time diff between a 40x burn and a 52x burn is like 30 seconds

like i said before .. the disks i had were about 2 years old but they were rated at 24x ... i was lucky to burn them at 10x.

Maybe it's your burner and not the blanks, Hmmmmm? 😉
