Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
Time "on" vs cooldown/idle time required
CDs come out literally "Hot off the presses", and if you are going to be burning 40x CDs for a couple hours, you don't want things to cook inside your burner.

Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
Well my Computer is "supposed" to have a built in CD burner in the standard CD-ROM so I figured since my regular CDs tend to get warm if I've had to use them for hours then I wasn't actually planning on burning disks for several hours streight.
Thanks for the advice though it's definately good to know that there is actually something "official" about the whole CD heating up thing  And actually I think my CD-Rom can go faster then 40x but I don't remember exactly....I may have some other numbers stuck in my head as happens too often.

Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
The duty cycle is the amount of time it can burn cd's. Most std PC burners are 15m/hour. If you abuse the cycle, you will shorten the life of the burner.

Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
That's why PC burners are $75 bucks and CD duplicators are $500.

Re: OT: Advice about CD RWs
How would this apply to, say, a 4x DVD burner? It takes quite some time to burn an entire DVD worth of data.
