I have tried several different manufactures in the past, and most of them eventually will start to curl up and peel off the disk. Is there a best combination of media surface type and label that would help prevent this? I am really looking for a combination of DVD media and label that can...

Hi I went to play a DVD on my computer last night and the sound and picture was very jerky and bad. This has never happened before. I am new at this so nothing too technical please Thanks -- Chris

Hi! I always wondered whether a cd is recorded on the label side or bare side..May be a stupid question and I'm sorry if it is, but I can't seem to get a straight anwser, even from vendors. Thanx for reading and responding if possible! William

Purchased from newegg.com. No software, no manual, no support. NEC doesn't support. No info on NEC site. Desktop is ABIT BX-133 with PCI Promise Ultra 100 TX2 controller. IDE primary has Plextor 16/10/40. NEC ND-2510A works almost fine on an IDE to USB2 adapter on two computers. Laptop works...

Hi, I just received a friend's cd-r, containing xls files and a lot of photographs, to try to recover it's files. CD/DVD Diagnostic informs me that it is in UDF format, level 2 and written by Nero and that more than 900 files are accessible. Explorer shows the directories and files and...

Anyone know of a good price with good prices on these. http://www.allmediaoutlet.com has inkjet printable CD-R for $0.32 each in packs of 100. John -- Grow Some Dope...Plant a Politician.

Hi! There is something I wanted to know, namely which side of the cd is burned by laser - the label or underside? Sounds like a dumb question, but even vendors are at odds over this question. Thanx for reading and replying if possible! William

I'm a newbie when it comes to cdr. From reading the faqs, guides, and googled around, I found that the 90/99 min cdr aren't supported by all cdrom. It could write on my burner but it's not guaranteed to be read by other cdrom drive. From the faq I've read, it said 80 min cdr should be safe. The...

Hello: I have a bunch of old country music recorded on cassette tape I want to record them too the hard drive through the sound card. What is the best method to do this ? And what program is best to do the recording ? Windows media Player or realplayer. Thanks James M Horak

Thanks for all your responses on my other thread regarding labels for CDs/DVDs. I have decided to get a printer that will print directly to the media and was pleasantly surprised to see that Epson offers an inkjet photo/CD/DVD printer for $99. Anyone have an experience with this printer? Any...

Does the lastest Nero Vision Express support XVID Codec file to make dvd video ? Could you please tell me any earlier versions of Nero Vision Express support this format as well? Thanks. Bun Mui

Why are all the tests in Nero 6.3 toolkit (overburn, scandisk) disabled? On CDSPEED2000.COM, there's a FAQ that states disabled Start buttons indicate the need to test with a DVD disc, but that doesn't make sense for my system, since there is no DVD burner.

Hi: I just accidently erased a VERY important file that was on a cdrw. I used Nero 6.0 to "quick-erase" the disc. The Nero erase window warned that quick-erase would not actually erase the entire file, but apparently just the info that marks its location/name. Is there any program that can...

Maybe you already know this but if you don't read the url provided. I just succesfully turned my 401S into an 811S. It gives you -R capability and 8x DVD burning. Use at your own risk. http://www.xs4all.nl/~wcprins/401at411.htm

Nero truncates some long filenames, which causes problems on verification. Sometimes, if there are multiple files with long names that have the first part the same, it will only burn one of them. This is burning as data. I think I've tried all of the combinations of settings but is there any way...

Here's why. I use CD Doctor with my Liteon LTR 52327s (firmware QS0B) to check for errors. I just rechecked a disk (at "max") Manufacturer: Ritek Co. Lead-In start (ATIP): 97:15:17 (-12508) Media Type: CD / CD-R Lead-Out Maximum: 79:59:70 (359845) Dye Type: ...

Greetings What's the difference between the Pioneer 107 and the A07 The specs seem similar Which would be better? Martin ©¿©¬

Hello I heard that once you burn a CD, it will have a limited lifetime, like 5years for example. After that whay happens? How can I backup data and preserve for a lifetime? --

I found a deal at Sam's club for $18 for 50 Verbatim music cdr's with cases but I was not sure they're good for data too. Are music cdr's good for data too or just good for makin' music? Thanks

Assuming decent quality media,how long a shelf life can one expect from music or data CD-Rs that have been treated properly...that is,no extreme temps,scratches,chemical exposure,sunlight exposure,etc? Also,as a CD-R approaches the point of "digital death" will it die "overnight"...or...
