Huge quality shift in middle of spindle
Just finished a 100 spindle of Fuji Pro-Disc CDs. Started off crappy getting error rates of around 3-4, and it got gradually worse, ultimately seeing error rates of around 5-6. Then the last 10 on the spindle yielded error rates of less than .5. I saw this once before, although the crappy disks weren't as crappy. That time I could see which discs were which, there was a difference in the reflectivity of the edges such that I could look at the spindle and see a dividing line beween the good and not so good disks. I don't remember which reflectivity was "good". So, I'm just curious about how common this might be. I've burned less than 2,000 disks, so I'm thinking I may have been "blessed" to have witnessed this twice in that spell. -- N |

a couple things to think about - is your burner's firmware up to date?
Newer CDs and DVDs have slightly different burn parameters than older (ie, last yer's) CDs and DVDs. I had trouble with one particular brand of DVD until I upgraded firmware, and now they burn error free. Noik wrote: Just finished a 100 spindle of Fuji Pro-Disc CDs.
