Anyone actually use rewriteable media?
brotherS:
I've always bought the cheapest I could find, with any media.

Yeah, I know that's the theory, but I've probably burned close to 1000 CDs in my life, and like I said, only had a problem with that one "brand" of discs.
Actually, come to think of it, they were OfficeMax brand.
Off Topic: The only quality product I've bought at OfficeMax is their "MaxBright" paper, it's awesome! Pretty much everything else has been disappointing one way or another.

No!...Nothings changed, still the same old story as far as Rewritables are concerned...I've lost a lot of data because of them...

Hi - just joined today...
I use TDK DVD+RW with very few probs, and here in South Africa they can be bought for the equivalent of +- 60 US cents! (Occassional hitch using Send To with InCD). I only use CD-RW to copy discs or backup a disc and backup my music. I prefer RW as you can wipe and re-use. I NEVER just burn to CD-R - Burn to Rewrite disc and then check if all ok and then burn to CD-R! For my major Image Backups and storing stuff I don't want to lose, I have found an External Enclosure to be invaluable and mine has a 60GB Drive - plenty for my Images etc.

I use rewriteable medias sometimes for some backupjobs - but I use DVD-RAM and not DVD+/-RW. I never had any problem with DVD-RAM Media, but due to the higher costs (5 RAMs about 30 Euro) I consider buying (another) external HDD...
