bad burn

[CactuSaq]

when i made a backup i noticed that the bottom of the disk has a faint dark spot does this mean it didnt sucessfully write the disk?

[peachymojo]

please don't think i'm being rude or sarcastic because i'm not but ........... did you actually try the disc to see if it works?

[AXmichigan]

or that if u dropped somethin on that disc? or its damaged physicaly? (scratches on the front...?

[CactuSaq]

nono i did try it and it works but i noticed a small faint dark spot that almost looks as if the disk wasnt written to. so i was just curious because i dont want it to get to that spot one day and mess up while im playing it. as far as i know it works.

[AXmichigan]

is it just that disc?
or does another one have it too?

[CactuSaq]

it just happens once in a great while

[AXmichigan]

check the discs before u burn em
that could be it

[CactuSaq]

check em for what?
not tryin to be rude jsut dont understand what im looking for i however do always make sure they are dust free on the bottom before i try to write on them

I get them every so often myself. Dont worry about them. Ive had backups for years now without problems.

hmm k then..

[CactuSaq]

youve had ones with little dark spots on em and they were fine?

[TylerDurden]

Mine look more like if you breath on it the little haze that appears. Just smaller.

I dont get them often but I know I have some games with them and they still work fine.


Its not a bad burn. Its more like a funny area in the dye.

what media u guys usin?

[TylerDurden]

I always use Ritek. I bet if you check back on your burns youll find at least one or more that have similar symptoms.
