OK,most people don't like resurface discs but what about disc rot? real, fake, sucks!

[Parodius Duh!]

I've had that with DVD-RWs, right after taking them new from the spindle without ever using them before. It's a manufacturing problem, but it doesn't always seem to affect how well they work. These were with Verbatim discs which are literally the best quality discs you can buy.

Good to know about the marker being confirmed to cause damage, it's not just a myth.

Jeez, thats scary, I do a lot of burning, thankfully never with re-writables though as Ive heard some terror stories about data loss.

Anyway, Ill see if I can find one of the marker eaten CDRs and Ill post a pic, I know I saved one....Especially the blank white surface CD-R and DVD-Rs, the ink begins to rot and leak out leaving a brown ring around wherever the writing is...
