burning noisy CD
I had an odd occurance tonight, I burned a CD that's all noisy. It
happened twice. The media is rather old and Nero says it is burning at only 16X. Could it be that the (Samsung built) HP burner in my computer has problems with media that's too slow? The blanks worked OK with my last computer (3 years old) which also had an "HP" combo burner. Brendan |

Yes, it's probably a very low quality burn.

Brendan How old is old? Unrecorded CD-R media have a shelf-life estimated at 5 - 10 years. Is this disc close to that? -- Seth Goodman |

I used one of these discs before I switched to my new computer last December and it burned fine, then (on the older burner). Brendan |

I doubt you've bought a burner that can't handle slower media - slower media are *less* demanding than faster media. One generalization - CD burners do a better job burning CDs than DVD burners. Is your new burner really a DVD burner? Why don't you give us some specifics - please post *exactly* what your burner is, and *exactly* what media seems to be failing. -- Seth Goodman |

Sorry for following up to myself. Haven't had my coffee yet. ;-)
Two suggestions: 1) Have you checked that you've got the latest firmware for your burner? You might have discovered a problem they've already fixed. 2) Try Googling for your burner both under its HP model designation, and its Samsung model designation, for any discussions of problems. -- Seth Goodman |

I'm told Samsung makes the drive for HP. These discs burned correctly on my former HP DVDwriter 300c (both DVD/CD combos) and a Philips burner in my even older Win '98 computer. (I tend to keep them for what I might have left on the hard drive.) Other cheap branded media (eg AT&T and another I don't have the label for any more) which burn at 40X work fine. Brendan |

Models don't last long any more. Could firmware already be out of date? Brendan |

Prime Peripherals CD-Rs of about five years ago were probably made by Postech, which is currently banned from selling CD-Rs, due to licensing violations. Samsung's list of recommended CD-R media for that drive: Taiyo-Yuden, RICOH, MKM, Hitachi, Maxell, Fuji Film, RiTEK(Phtharo), CMC, Pioneer, Princo, TDK. To oversimplify a bit - your new drive doesn't have a writing strategy for your Prime Peripherals CD-Rs, so it's guessing. Apparently, it's guessing wrong. It's not a speed issue - it's a media compatibility issue. -- Seth Goodman |
