I have recently decided that I don't like CD books. I have tons of movies and tv shows i burned to CD-R and put in a book when I was in college. Most of them don't work now, as when I try to copy them over to my comp, I get a CRC error, and can't fix it. In many cases, i never took them out before, and they come out scratched. My opinion is that particles of dust get stuck in the sleeve with the cd, and from sliding the disc in and out of the book, it will become srcatched.
Now that I have upgraded to DVD-rs, and an even smaller scratch could ruin the disc, I am doing two things in hopes of avoiding damage to the discs:
1) Burn a backup of what I burn, if it is being deleted off of hard drive.
2) Store all discs in cheap cd cases, never sliding them around, just placing them in case and in drive tray.
Anyone else have similar/opposite opinions?
