What is the best CDR for backing up games/audio CDs?
Posted: Wed May 21, 2003 4:03 amI was wondering what CD-RW (or even CD-rom) Is the best for backing up game CDs (copy protected or otherwise), audio CDs with minimal errors, and damaged game/audio CDs (ie old game CDs like warcraft2 that have seen better days).
I ask this because it has come to my attention that quite a few of my older CDs no longer work all that well. (i try to take good care of CDs but stuff happens) So I’m going to backup many of my newer game CDs and audio CDs to my harddrive, and then onto tapes, to prevent having this happening again later on. Unfortunately for me copy protection prevents me from doing so with allot of the newer games (i wish software companies would just give up their futile attempts to stop pirating, it doesn't work and frustrates customers like me), and I want the best possible quality for the audio. But have no clue what CD-RW/ROM would be best for this, only that there are large differences between models/brands.
any advice would be very helpful, thanks in advance.
