Media for slow burners

It does seem that every NG has its nemisis, Ron, but this NG is the
best open one I know of. Very few flames or trolls. I killfiled SMN
several months ago and had totally forgotten about him. And we have
some really dedicated people who don't hesitate to share their
knowledge with us.

Thanks everyone for help. It's been awhile since I used this group and
it's deju vu all over again what with smh coming up out of his swamp to
spew more gas. Like the familiar neighborhood old many peeping
tom/stalker. And I thought I had my kill file setup just right.

Can't find them any more so I'm wondering if there are high speed
discs I should avoid or prefer for using with these burners? I
understand all the talk about Made in Taiwan, etc. Just want to know
about speed issue.
Or, if compatibility a problem, does anyone know where I can find the
older discs? Thanks much.

I don't care if they release a platinum-coated, 200% guaranteed perfect
software. It's too late. They ****ed all over the consumers since the
4.0 was released, and their history of patch-after-patch-after-patch is
just too much trouble. I would rather spend my time and money on
something more productive and much less irritating.

Pray tell, how have they "****ed all over us?" I had all sorts of
troubles installing ECDC 4.0x and don't know why, but they certainly
didn't **** all over me!

In fact when I called to request a RMA I started to explain and the
clerk said, "We don't care, sir, we'll refund your purchase without
question."

That sort of ****ing I can take all day long.

Enough!!! Back to the future with 3.5c and hope I can get my money back
on 4.0. About half of the 30 days is gone just getting delivery over the
holidays and screwing around trying to get the thing loaded.

Let's pray there's some honesty left in Roxio. I sure don't need this
aggrivation.

Was happy Roxio customer until now!

.... I don't trust Roxio, can't
even get a reply from there Tech Help. Adrian won't reply to my specific
question. Was on the phone yesterday morning to Roxio Tech Help for 20
minutes and got disconnected--it was long distance.

Tried to get on
Digital River this morning to get an RMA, 30 mintues holding and finally
gave up. Bought it 12/21 and 1/21 is fast approaching and the end of my
"30 day money back" offer. Any bets I eat my $90?

If you purchased via our on-line store please contact our customer services.

I called the other day. Took 5 minutes to get to Interviewer, she put me
in "cue". 15 minutes later I head a "click" and the dial tone. What does
it take to get to customer service. I've contacted "rx-ask_us" with a
case number and can't get a reply.

I couldn't get a reply back from you about my opening screen question.

What now?

If you did direct purchase and want a refund let me know and I will
forward your details directly to customer services myself.

Adrian could you help me with a Refund please?

.... It's been a little over 2 weeks
now and the "30 day refund" period is rapidly approaching. It probably
means I have to have the material back in their hands within that 30
days, so time is really getting short.

Thanks for your help. I went to the Roxio site and couldn't find any
directons to "discussion list" so chose this method of communication.
I apologize for helping fill up your personal e-mail. I've still heard
nothing from rx-ask_us and my last entry Jan 4.

Don appears to have purchased direct and wishes to return the product under
the 30 day terms. I would appreciate it if you could take over this matter
from this point. Thanks.

Thank you, Adrian. My wife forced me to be patient and after a 30 minute
hold time I got through to Digital River and obtained an RMA.

I certainly appreciate your help in this matter. I only wish my
experience had been different.

Whatever happened to the common mistake of CD-R FAQ, Mikey?

Mikey sure knows a lot about Enhanced CD and CD Extra.
Why Mikey even points out a mistake in the CD-R Faq:

======================
From: Mike Richter
Subject: Easy CD Creator makes CD-Extra disc
with no track titles

It happens that the FAQ makes a common mistake in that section,
confusing "Enhanced CD" with its predecessor, "CD Extra"
======================

CD-R FAQ's supposed *MISTAKE* is taking CD Extra and Enhanced CD
synonymously when they are different in Mikey's cockamamie
definitions:

"CD Extra uses a single session"
"If there are two sessions, it is an 'Enhanced CD'"
================================================== =====

With my external USB burner, I was stuck with burning at around 4x-8x on
media rated at around 24x for a long time

I am still burning at 4x with my old system (external USB 1.2 burner). So
far, I used just about any CDR media that I could find, and I never
noticed any problem, but after the reading of this thread, I am starting
to wonder... Right now, I am about to purchase 200 discs from Taiyo Yuden,
52x. Do you think that these disks are likely to give good results if they
are burnt at 4x ?

I use TDK 32x 700mb on slow burners and never had a problem with the media...
....the software(Roxio/Nero) is a different issue.

However, I did have problems with HIGH SPEED media on slow burners.

PS: I buy 10pack TDK 32x 700mb with jewel cases for $3.99, can you beat it?
