it will matter...
it doesnt matter what you put on it.. you dont want to use cheap media..
u're still using the same laser.. the disc will breakdown and stop playing..

@thelox714 - yeah..that's the one i use the most now. i have no energy to make new epic replies about bad media any more so just paste that one and refer ppl to the other 6 bad media links in my sig, does the job a lot easier now :)

i'll let you know in 100 years, i'll still be burning up a storm on my TY discs by then :)
(though i won't be as agile as the burner's speed i imagine)

Good quality CD-Rs with phthalocyanine dye (almost all CD-Rs except Taiyo Yuden and some Verbatim discs) will outlast any DVD disc because the construction of the disc is simpler and because the dye is far more stable than azo-cyanine and cyanine dyes. If you want something to last for a very long time, record it to CD-R. Stress tests on even the best DVDs are showing less than half the life expectancy of a CD-R disc.

with CD's i'll agree with you Joe, you can virtually use a cardboard spacer from a tub of CDR's and get good results, but with DVD's it's a whole different ballgame
