Strange issue with burned Data CD and DVDs - USA to Europe?
A strange issue was reported to me at my company's Christmas party. I'm
here in Pennsylvania - USA and I was told that burned discs don't read very well in Sicily, Italy. I'm not talking video, just data DVDs and CDs. Is there any reason for this? Could they be using Unicode? Other than a simple bad burn, would a disc burned int eh USA have problems anywhere in the Eurozone? |

Probably the person who burned them used packet-writing software like Nero's InCD or Roxio's Drag-to-Disc with a CD/DVD-RW. Then if the recipient doesn't have packet-writing software or a UDF reader installed on his computer, the disks look like they are blank. This is one of the main reasons not to use packet-writing software and to just use CD/DVD-Rs. With blank disks so cheap, there's no reason to use the RWs any more and good reasons not to.

Malke That's what I figured. However I disagree with the RW comment. |
