[filmscanners] Re: No more Kodak CD-R's

["Robert Logan" <bert_logan@btopenworld.com>]

Im thinking the same thing (I've also ordered another 100
Kodaks from the UK site - I can imagine their distro manager
getting excited at the sudden attention). What brands are
good - how do we know - how do we know theyre not rebadged ...

Im one of those aware that I will be reconsidering this in
the light of DVD-R taking over from CD - archival quality
will again become important. But then again, a 200 Gig disk
can hold a lot of archive data, and isnt that expensive, and
is a lot faster ... and still has at least a 1 year warranty.

This thread 'scared' me into rushing out to the garage, and up
to the loft, to get some very old CDRs (3 years) to check their
state - besides some apalling scans (Vuescan wasnt as good ...)
not one has gone bad. All dark stored/ dry conditions.

Where / who are the CDR archival reviews/ers.
