    I myself burned many dvd-r's and dvd+rw's so far, but still not clear on what the coaster is. Can anyone explain me what is coaster in lay man terms?? how that affects the performance of the disk?

    thanks,

    prabhakar

    Coaster would be a damaged disk after a bad burning session.

    A coaster is a mat you put under a glass, so that it wont leave a mark on the polish on the table. Corrupt dvdr burns have only one use ... as coasters 8) . Some companies sell very bad media (DVD-r) and they charge good money for them.. this is known as the "Drinks Mat robbery".

    Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach that person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks

    Have you noticed that a slight tax increase costs you two hundred dollars and a substantial tax cut saves you thirty cents?
