Packed in protective locking cake boxes, these are truly the next
generation of compact disc media. You can buy them online by clicking
on the button below. Some CD Writers will not work as expected when
you set maximum CD length to 99 minutes. Lite-ON has already confirmed
that you must set the maximum length to 98:58. Your writer may need
to have maximum length set as low as 89:59 to work. Please check
with your hardware manufacturer!
HOW CAN IT BE DONE? How is this made possible?
By making the data spiral of a finer pitch - in other words moving
consecutive spiral tracks closer together, and secondly by utilising
overburn mode in conjunction with DAO (Disc at once) mode - a process
that allows discs to burn more data than their nominal capacity.
ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS? Hardware problems writing to the disc -
These discs take existing CD writing technology to the max - margin
for error has been reduced to almost nothing, so they can be more
difficult to write than, say 74 minute discs. You may not be able
to use your writer's full write speed - in fact in most cases, we
recommend a slower write speed.
Software problems writing to the disc -
The only software solution we recommend is Nero Burning Rom. It
is the only software used for our tests.
What about playback? - Playback on older readers may be slower,
or not possible at all. Modern high quality readers will work fine,
though.
What if my drive doesn't work?
There are a number of things to check:
· Make double sure you have a compatible drive
· Make sure you have the latest firmware
· Make sure you have compatible software
· Make sure you have selected "overburn" mode in
the options
· Make sure you are using DAO (Disc-at-once) mode
· Make sure you have set the maximum capacity of the disc
to the highest setting
· Make sure you have selected "No multisession"
· If burning audio, make sure you have selected "Audio
CD" format. Selecting "Data" format and burning WAV
files may not work
· Try writing at different speeds - some drives will only
work on a particular speed. Slower is not necessarily better - some
writers will write at 8x, but not at 4x, and not at 12x.
MAKE IT SIMPLE. WHICH IS THE BEST WRITER?
In our independent opinion, the Yamaha CRW-F1. As of August 2002,
the best we have ever seen in the Yamaha CRW-F1. It beats all comers,
hands down, and comes with Nero in the box!
DISCLAIMER - please read carefully before buying
these 99 minute cdr.
I have a listed drive and software. I still have problems! - DVD-and-Media.com
takes no responsibility and gives no guarantees for any drive/software
combination on the usability of 99 minute CDR in a particular system
configuration.
The only way to be 100% sure if they work on your system is to
try them out. We cannot guarantee either that the list of all compatible
drives is exhaustive. These are just the drives we have used ourselves,
or where people have written in telling us test results.
