Even with what you've felt was a good source of media, there can be bad discs in the batch. I've certainly suffered that with blank DVDs. My preference was always Verbatim as the most reliable for me and most compatible with my equipment. Friends have used other brands, and were throwing away one in three discs, immediately. More recently, an older drive is getting finicky about discs in it and rejecting them during the burn process. It particularly doesn't like it when they vibrate as they spin, some do that to a shocking degree you can hear them loudly buzzing. When it comes to important backups (I know they all are, but some are more important to you than others), making more than one is a very good idea. I've never gotten into bluray, as they were a rarity around here (burners and blank discs). Certainly unseen in retail that has a computing section, and still uncommon in computing suppliers. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 (yes, this is the output from uname for this PC when I posted) Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
