Kodak Gold CD-R

I don't know if this has been answered or not, but at
the sake of being redundant I'll throw in my two
cents.

Kodak had a line of CDs called "InfoGuard", which have
a gold colored reflective surface. The ones I have
are for data (computers).

They are reputed to be indestructible compared to
cheapie media. The protective layer on them is so
strong/thick/opaque (choose the correct one) that my
Yamaha 4416S can't write them reliably over 2x speed.
The Yamaha wasn't a cheapie, so I contacted both
Yamaha and Kodak tech support. They knew of the
problem, and advised be to write at 2x even though the
drive and media are rated for 4x.

The discs I've written at 2x are readable. I treat my
discs well, so I can't tell you if they really are indestructible.
