DVD-R Data Storage
I have a Pioneer DVR-A06U, which I got to store data files, backup data etc.
I was told at Compusa that the CD-R format was a good media for that purpose. I would like some advice as to which software would be a good choice to use with the drive.... Nero? Roxio or other suggestions. If I am asking in the wrong newsgroup, would you please point me in the right direction TIA Ben Ben Remove spam when replying. |

Don't plan on keeping them forever, and they will last longer if stored in a
dark place. Don't count on them lasting longer than 3 years either way. http://www.cdfreaks.com/news/7751 Reliability will be determined by the CD recorder, and the CDs you burn to. Software will have nothing to do with the reliability, but may affect compatibility. I like Nero, but it's kind of expensive when all you get is the capability to write to CD-ROMs. More information he http://pcbuyersguide.com/hardware/st...y_reports.html --paul "Ben" wrote in message ...

I have a Pioneer DVR-A06U, which I got to store data files, backup data etc. I was told at Compusa that the CD-R format was a good media for that purpose. When I complete a DVD-R (about 3 gigs of Data) and elect to finalize it (using Roxio 6 drag & drop) the operation takes about 25 minutes (should take 1 to 4 minutes) and is not readable in the DVD drive on the computer. It is readable in the Pioneer Drive. Are others having this problem? Thanks again. Ben Remove spam when replying. |
