Follow up to bad DVD-R writes

[ottoman]

A while back I did a thread about light patches of write surface after I had burned a ritek dye dvd-r.

Well, I know the problem for reference.

Recently I did a dvd-r ( Clone Disk-Ritek Dye) and it came up with a light splotch in middle of dark written part of write surface.

In the middle of the splotch was a piece of dust, This had interfered with the write process.

I stuck it straight back in and RNM4.5 read an image off of it okay, however a month later it had problems reading the dvd.

Now, as I said, I checked all my dvd-r's and found several with light patches like this, luckily they all read back in and I was able to make new back-ups but it is well worth doing a serious inspection of yr dvd-r before u lob it in the burner and keeping the dvd writer tray very clean an free from dust!!
