I was wondering if someone could shed some light on an EXTREMELY puzzling issue
I was re-scanning some DVD disks and noticed some were rapidly going bad..... errors over 280, more than 500,000 on a disk. These were the SONY 8x disks by Taiyo Yuden... what I always thought was the gold standard. These disks scanned absolutely perfectly ~18 months ago.
Here is the puzzling part - it seems the ones burned on a particular drive are the ones going bad. I went back to the drive they were burned on and they are still scanning horribly.
How could being burned on a particular drive set a disk up for premature failure? I could see it if it scanned bad right off the bat, but to fail over 18 months because it was burned with a particular drive? This makes no sense. There must be something else?????
