I have some backups. Three DVD, four CD. The DVD's all work flawlessly, but the CD's just won't. The Swap Magic 3.2 disc loads fine, but once I switch discs and hit "load program", the screen turns a blood red hue and then nothing. The disc keeps spinning, and spinning and spinning though, I left it on for ten minutes like this.

I don't know the CD-R media used, but the disc has a "D" on it, on the left side of the disc.

I quickly burned a Silent Hill ISO onto a Memorex CD-R, at 16X just to try it out, and Swap Magic goes into red/blue, rapidly flickering scan lines around the edges of the screen after a few seconds of loading. Then it just sits there, like it's trying to figure out if it's a good burn, or a bad burn 10 times a second.

I have a SPCH-30001 model.

No clue, all four discs look full, but you can see a rim around the disc, so they're not completely filled. The titles are ESPN Hockey, Rygar, Dead to Rights and Legends of Wrestling 2.

Honestly, since LoW2 contains DVD video interviews, I don't see how it could fit on a CD-R.

Yup, they're all bigger than 630.

Well, that sucks.

Thanks a load for your help though.
