Users of recordable CD's and DVD's
 Do you have any trouble with data or audio recorded cd's skipping, sticking or failing? - in the case of DVDs pixelating etc?To cut a very long story short I have, after years of using recordable CD's and DVD's discovered at my cost that the use of labels on such discs are the culprit! this was after a DVD I had recorded which played many times without any problems on two different DVD payers then suddenly started freezing and pixelating immediately after I placed a label on it. I generally stopped using CD-r's (I have several hundred) for audio archiving because they started skipping and sticking on all of my CD players after a few months or years of storage. I researched on the internet and found a few forums where people have experienced the very same problems after using CD labels on recordable media - the use of such labels is not recommended, in fact some CD manufacturers do say not to place any labels onto the discs. I'm currently backing up onto the computer all of my discs some 400 - 500 (when they can be read by the ROMs). I'm now either removing the label by spraying with WD40 (leaving for 15 -30 mins) and/or rerecording onto new discs, once the labels have been removed successful (and very carefully) most CDs/DVDs will play perfectly fine again and in fact we have a CD player that never liked playing recorded CDs it now plays the discs all the way through without any problems, the removal of labels is very dependant on the type of CD though as the silver topped CDs tend to fail while white top type discs have so far mostly been successful, I've have lost a few dozen data and audio discs to date though. I am now just using a water based marker to identify the disc within the disc centre, taking no chances! This information covers: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R and DVD-RW etc. Hope the info's been of use to some. |
