I'm a bit threaders with this!!!

I use DVDMaster X2 dvd-r ( ritek dye) and Traxdata X1 dvd-r ( rytek dye) and have had no complaints until now.

A While back i backed up GTA Vive ( as i'm sure everyone has!) and then used my back-up to create another back-up ( verifying my back-up).

A couple of weeks ago I dragged down my backup and tried it in my ps2. It had all sorts of dvd reading problems.

I checked the write surface and fiund amidst the write part a load of lighter purple blotches. the dvd-r had lost the write I put on it.

This was on DVD Master dvd-r.

I decided to go through the rest of my dvdMaster back-ups and found about 50% of them had developed these patches.

I then went on to check my traxdata and found a similar problem with them.

Now I know that the burn is initially good cos u can take a back-up off the burn but after a couple of months????

Has anyone else experienced this on what r meant to be the dogs testicles of dvd-r??

Luckily I had also backed up onto Bulkpaq G4 dvd-r and although the ps2 don't like em the Pioneer 104 could read the image again no problem!!

Any thoughts? And yes, I do also have the originals!!
