I've heard that CRC is no good, but there has to be some burners out there that can burn this... right? I bought a 25 pack and I have now created 12 coasters. I also tried this media on BENQ 1640 and that won't even start the burn. Any info would help greatly. Thanks
I agree with pinhead! get better media.... the only DL media that I would burn is Verbatim. that CMC crap is just that..... CRAP..... and you are finding out the hard way!!!!
