Alpha Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 It's happened to me numerous amount of times. It's happened to me the most with the CD-R's from PNY Technologies. Basically what happens is that the laser area of the disc start's pealing off. Before you know it, you can see through little spots on the cd which makes it no longer readable. You can read the article about it @ This Link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weirdy Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 the 3 brands I trust are as follows 1) TDK 2) memorex 3) Imitation the brand that you should never trust no matter how cheap is SONY...that's right, SONY, I memmer I bought a spindle with about 100cdrs and about 30 of them were bad cd's that I had no choice but to snap(which was way too easy to do compared to TDK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I had that problem with these ultra cheap CDs that I bought and burned all my movies on. I have old Memorex CDs from 4 years ago that work just fine but those new ones messed up in less than half a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
