TDK emptyCD-R 700MB up to 52x speed

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

hi all

back from my holliday and since I was asked for some weeds I decided to buy some decent :roll: CD's. So it became the TDK's. however the writer indicates that the medium is not ok ? Anyone an idea how this comes. Never had a problem like this before.

thanks :notworthy:

Hmmm, they've always worked ok for me in the past, but I've been using Sony recently :?

Could be a bad batch of discs possibly? :? Check if there's a firmware upgrade for your writer...some brands work better with specific drives (altho this usually applies more to DVD's than CD's), a firmware upgrade could fix this.

Never had a problem either. The whole CD burning thing is so mature by now that it's unlikely to be a compatibility glitch.

What brand is the writer?
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

Never had any problems with TDK. Currently using Sony and Maxell. Also fine!

Try burning at a slower speed. It's recommended that you don't do faster than 4x for audio cd's to ensure no glitches.

Yeah, Dan has a good point there. Also, what program do you use and maybe there is something wrong with the wav files? Have you tried using EAC?

Surprisingly enough, I had probs with TDK once, too.

Not a single one of the buggers wanted to accept my WAV files.

When checking in the store, the guy told me I was not the only one, so he sent the whole bunch back to TDK. Now he doesn't sell TDK anymore.

What I do now, is: go to Colruyt or Carrefour (Belgium only I guess?), buy a spindle of 50 from a known brand (Sony in my case) and burn away.

Never had any probs with them whatsoever.

Oh, and for audio: refrain from using NERO. I had more problems with the program than anything else.

I'm talking rather semi-pro audio here, so a simple copy will do... but I'm now using WaveLab from Steinberg for my audio and it works a lot!!!! better ;D

Plus it comes with mastering tools, EQ, and various restoration tools. It is quite expensive, but there are *cough* other ways. Then again, I sponsored Steinberg a week or two ago, so they can't complain...
