I don't have a cdrom, only a burner and a dvd. Strangely the cheapest
cdr's I have seem to use the longer lasting dye...go figure :)
How old is your your burner? My experience has been that they only good
for a couple thousand burns before the laser gives in,
regardless of make, though the samsung burners I've been using lately
have lasted the longest. About 12 months average.

This should be a useful tool - I bought a pile of Maxells recently
that appear to be defective as I have never been able to get one to burn.
I didn't realise at first that the boxes were buttons, so it took me a
while to make it work.
So; manufactured by Ritek, Phthalocyanine dye, speeds unknown. No
obvious reason for them being defective, unless it is because it is a
very old burner that cannot use the dye technology.
The software only reads information from the burner drive, not from
the CDROM.
Excellent stuff. Thanks.
