Tips on CD qulity for burning

[geoffjak]

Hi folks

Can you advice me on the things to look out for about cd burn quality.

I was just about to buy a spindle of 100 cd's today for burning when I realised the cd's are a no name brand..there was nothing at all on the advertising side..and when I put it up to the flouro light above, I could see thriaght throught it. I could see my hand and the light on the other side.
Is that a problem?
Is it better [for burning consistancy and quality] that the cd should be opaque.
The cd colour [burn side] was gold-ie, green if that makes sense.

I burn mostly photoshop images and AVI or MPEG 1 video on them. But I have never really known what is the best type to go for.

Thanks
