Gold CD-RW for VCD

[Div2002]

Hey,
I have about 20 VCDs (anime mostly) that I can only play on my computer because my Toshiba DVD player will only play (from what I've heard) Gold backed CD-RWs. I looked at the CD media list here on CD media world and it says every CD-RW is silver backed. Does anyone know what brand has a gold back to it? Thanks in advance

I've never ever seen such a thing as a gold backed CD-RW. Maybe they were around way before CD-RW technology became popular. Who knows.

For your videos, etc., stick to quality CD-R's. Verbatim/Mitsubishi, Taiyo Yuden or Kodak Ultima/Gold Ultima (if you can find them) will produce consistantly high quality results.

It's not the brand that count's it what u r buying,
all CDR's r made by a handfull of companies, u can find
out who with CDRID. Of course maybe Kodak only buy
grade A1 CDR from xxxxlabs whilst WangCo CDR maybe
grade A2 from the same production line at xxxxlabs. :confused:

Actually in 1994 when I bought my first CD-Recorder for $1500 made by Pinnicle. CD-R's had either gold or silver backs. Somewhere around '95-'97 the gold CD-R's dissappeared. Though your problem I have encountered with an Aopen DVD drive the drive was no longer useful. Unless the maker of your DVD drive has a firmware update. There is no way to fix the problem.
