Are all CD-Rs created equal?

[junk4rich]

I know when copying playstation games some CD-R's don't work.
Is the same thing true with VCD's?
I've created 2 different ones, one has digital tracking problems (little blocks) and the other doesn't play at all.
My player may be dirty but before I open it up to give it a good cleaning I wanted to see if the cd's made a difference.

Thanks

Media does make a differance(check your burners web-site),also the playstation cd's might be copy-protected.[/url]

Verbatium Datalife Plus tend to be the best CD-R's


They are made from Metaline Azo which in my experence is the best chemical base.

Also I had great luck with some green CD-R's by Compusa.


ANYTHING MADE WITH YELLOW DYE SUCKS.

Well, that's my conclusion. None of my cd players like yellow dye, my computer doesn't always like it, by Car cd player has trouble following the tracks, my dvd player is about the only thing that likes them, but APEX likes anything you give it.
