Title: Best CDR???
Post by: BCostigan on October 21, 2002, 07:04:37 PM: What does everyone use for CDR...especially burning DAT->CDR (when you want it done right) I just bought a spindle of 30 Memorex (white and blue) and they SUCK! Error rates are crazy! I've had good luck with Mitsuis...any suggestions? ANything that's sold at the big chains (Best Buy Circuit City etc)?

Thanks!!

As long as your discs are TY you should be okay...

The top literally flakes off, it's not a myth (I was thought it was till it happened to me!). Since then I've been using a variety of things, mainly TY discs (esp. fuji's) and Kodaks.

I had the same problem with a batch of Sonys. Normally stick to TDK. I work for CostCo at the corp headquaters and there is a warehouse next door. 100 Spindle for $15 after rebate.
