I had a question I thought I'd run by the experts.
I have a scratched original disc/audio cd which I am thinking of getting repaired through one of those scratch-repair-machines at a video store - does this compromise the ability to burn that disc?
will the repair affect any future burning?
someone commented that the machines are like cars you can only take off so many layers of paint until you reach the metal - cds the same.
any guidance much appreciated.

The advice you've gotten so far seems to be the norm. If your not aware of the "composition" of a DVD or CD...then read on.
The layer of data is sandwiched between two layers of poly carb plastic. When a scratch is deep enough to penetrate the outer layer/or cause the laser light to deflect, then the disc is usually deemed un-playable. Not exactly a revalation......LOL. When scratches are superficial, these are often fixed by re-facing. The process of re-facing does nothing to inhibit the copying process, infact it will enhance it by returning the media to a new condition. My personal guidance would be NOT to purchase one of those el-cheapo kits that promise to erase scratches from CD's and DVD's. Spend the five or so bucks per disc on the proper machine at your local outlet. You'll be happier you did.

Cheers
