Re: filmscanners: CD from Scanner



Hi, Steve--

I get from your post that you're recording a lot of music CDs. This, I 
think, is a little different from data CDs (even photo CDs), in that music 
CDs are *extremely* time-sensitive, while data CDs are not. Having the 
fastest possible CD burner is an advantage with music CDs--it's not such a 
big deal with data CDs. I could be wrong on this, but I don't think so--if I 
am, someone will happily come in and correct me (at least I'd hope so). :-)

I can see how, in this case, CD-RW would give problems with your 
applications. CD-RW is slower than CD-R--we may be talking about "Data-Clog" 
again. If anybody actually knows the numbers, this would be a good time to 
enter the discussion--I don't think that Music CDs and Data CDs are 
comparable. Correct me if I'm wrong, and Steve and others will hopefully be 
grateful.

Best regardw--LRA
