The last CD-Rs were Fujifilm Silver Disk, identified by the burner as manufactured by Ritek (Cyanine, AZO or similar). I had Kodak Ultima and Ultima Gold for while, and they seemed to work most of the time. They were recommended by Plextor, but I know only one place here in Cologne where to get the Kodak CD-Rs (Ultima Gold not anymore). > try different dye types as well -- my burner > works far better with certain "Short Strategy Type" discs, for example. What does "short strategy type" mean? Unfortunately most CD-boxes don't reveal the secrets of their content (at least not about the type of dye).
