Any idea about the quality of Verbatim's "Azo" dye? Obviously they hype
it as being far better than other media, but I didn't know if anyone
knows any "truth" about it.
I have been moving to those because that is what I have been buying for
my VCD recorder. I settled on them because they were the only ones I
could get to work reliably in my VCD recorder when I first got it. It
turned out to be a defective recorder (cooling fan was broken, so the
unit overheated within minutes), and now just about any 74 minute CD-Rs
work in it... but I have stuck with the Verbatim despite the slightly
higher price... simply because I was impressed that they managed to work
consistantly even in a broken recorder.
