[0] Something I see for discs that are, more often than not, 4+ years old and are usually cheap discs with dyes known to be not the best. Now I try to stick to either Verbatim 8x +R (MCC 003) or 16x +R (MCC 004), or AOne 8x -R (TYG02).
Thanks Dave,
Something I find very often is after 1+ years with a 10, 7 and 4 year old -- all my original discs seem to become unreadable for reasons completely unrelated to the dye ;-)
I'll give the cp inf bup a try and report back. Now that I think about it, I do recall in the howtos the sizes being the same, but it never clicked. Thanks!
