I recently asked a question about media, and was blessed by the great help I received. I would now like to ask you something else. When I was a neophyte I burned a lot of discs with a brand I bought from Shop4Tech called Matrix. After all I have read here on the forum, do you think I shoud reburn all of them onto Verbatim? I did have some percentage of bad discs, but not huge, and I just threw the defective ones out and kept the successful ones. The good ones seem to play fine so far. My fear, after reading some of your posts, is that they are going to go bad on me over time and I will have to start all over. I'm talking about over 200 movies and TV programs, so this would be a big effort to redo. If they burned ok and work what do you think the ramifications will be long term? It would kind of kick my rear end to have to redo them, but I would sincerely appreciate some of your expert opinions.

Thanks!

I wouldn't, however, I would keep a couple of them handy so that you can check them from time to time. When you start having problems with them, then I would redo them and start checking the rest.

well you're not alone....... everyone was a newbie at one time or another and I burned many moives on Memorex disks....... fortunately the Memorex disks I burned to was RIC0HJPN manufactured and are great 2nd class disks! Now Memorex are mostly CMC MAG manufacutred and are crap. What's the manufactures code on your Matrix disks? If it's LONGTEN then that's just as bad as CMC! I'd watch over those disks ...... they won't last too long..... heard stories of lasting months then having to redo. good luck.
