Erase a CDRW disc

[Doot]

Hi, I have a CDRW which is giving a bit of trouble, when I burn a VCD or audio cd onto it jumos and stutters etc. I have done an erase on the slowest setting in Nero but it is still the same. Is there a way of getting use out of this CDRW or is it a failure now?

Thanks Doot

does it stutter on the computer? or when you try to play it on a dvd player?


are there are noticeable scratches on the back?

how old is it and have you used it alot?

What speed are you burning the audio at? The burning speed will affect the potential for skips and stutters moreso than the erasing speed.

Just seen some scratches on it, I think my daughter has got hold of it. Its just over a year old, I dod use it alot I guess. Maybe time to get a new one.

Perhaps so.

I once burned an audio-cdrw, and tried playing it in my car. There were cazillion of cracks and pops.
I concluded that rw isn't very good for audio.

VCDs on the other hand have always worked fine on cdrw.

Get some new discs, they don't cost much.
