What is The Best CD-R For Games

[BarryB]

It all depends on your burner!

Some burners work well with one brand of media or dye type, some another brand/dye type. As I understand it, the f/w in the burner has media id's for various types of manufactured CD-R's/CD-RW's and DVD-R/+R's coded into it so the burner can identify the dye type of the disc you have inserted and pick the correct writing strategy for it. If you put in media the f/w hasn't any info on, then it may choose the wrong writing strategy or a default one and may produce a coaster or bad burn.

Check the media compatability list for your burner, if the manufacturer has one on their website, and try brands that use the same dye type. You could also try updating the firmware of your burner in case they have added more media codes.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please!
