Please read my post entitled "CD-R Burning Speed" - it addresses your question. I would avoid black because it adversely affects reflectivity, although now you'll get replies from others that black works perfectly!

It doesn't matter what cd u burn it on because it really doesn't change anything!

Hey squid, Careful who you call a idiot. There is a BIG difference in media and charlie is right on. I am not saying that you cannot get a black cdr to load in a PS2 but they have poor reflectivity and are mostly crap for PS2 backups. Older PS2's that have slightly worn lasers do not work to well with this media so i agree with charlie 100%. They should be avoided.Dont be so quick to call someone a idiot.

Your post is a perfect example of my point. By using an orange coloured font, you have made it hard to read. A black CD absorbs light energy. reducing reflectivity and making it hard to read.

I like TDKs but verbatims are the best
