News of CDRLabs.com

Furballi on FW is reporting that K-Mart has Made in Japan Fuji TY 50-pack CD-R for $8, and then the 2nd 50-pack is FREE. So 100 for $8.

The ad says $14.99 Buy 1 Get 1 Free, so this might be a price mistake by K-Mart.

Ok, now I figured the 182M was just the 182D with lightscribe enabled; same actual drive hardware.

But, old 182D:

I didn't see much point in finishing the scan.

WTF happened? I am not happy right now. The 182D I had would freeze randomly with Verbatium DVD-Rs about 50% of the time. The 182M does ...

...I like my new Lite-On drive.

The scan results using KProbe & CDSpeed 2000 jive with what my treasued BenQ 1620 show.

That means no more wear-and-tear on my best drive!

I can put it all on the Litey 8)

Haven't actually burned anything with it yet. But will soon :)

Prepare yourselves, for all of Western civilization is about to destroyed by the latest, utterly irreparable tear in the washed-up-celebrity/amateur-sex-tape continuum. This morning's news of a forthcoming Dustin "Screech" Diamond fornication video certainly signals the end of days, not only because of the childhood nostalgia-annihilating debasement of its onetime child star, but because of the highly theoretical ...

The spike at the end kinda worries me, but it's not bad. Me like so far :)

More results & Lite-On scans as I get 'em done.


Unlike the Imation "Forcefield" discs, fingerprints seem to stick like glue to these :(
But that scratch proofing works ...

If you're a parent (or toy collector), this will probably come in handy...

I recently had an experience with another optical media technology site (that will remain nameless...), and it struck me as being an excellent example of some of the things NOT to do in news reporting, and the importance of tracking back information to the original source.

GristyMcFisty ...

Now that the BenQ DW1655 is nowhere to be found, i'm back to square one choosing a drive. What i'd like is a solid performer, reliable. With Lightscribe feature and DL. Also, available in black, with retail package containing Nero (first dvd drive, need software too)

Looking at reviews, i've come across a few potentials
Samsung SH-W162L
LG GSA-4166B
Philips DVDR16LS

Suggestions, comments, better choice ?

Thanks all.
