I recorded on some 16X speed DVD-R disks at x4, x8 and x16.
The transfers were dated December 2005 and are now beginning to show faults ie
just over one year old.
In comparison I have slower speed x4 and x8 DVD-R recordings which are lasting
without faults, having been kept in identical conditions.
All these disks have been kept dark and not over heated.
All these disks write strategy at 4X
Has anyone else noticed this propensity for rated high speed DVD-R disks to age
earlier than others? I notice they use a paler dye and I wonder if there is a
trade-off between speed and longevity?
Real info. rather than guesses would be interesting..!
