With Plextools and my Plexwriters, I can determine both C1 and C2 error rates (CD-R only; unfortunately, not available with DVD recording). I've not tried MAM-A gold 80s; if I could get one or two to test rather than a quantity, I would do it out of curiosity. For my 'archives' - very unofficial ones - I'm happy with using two different media which test well, branded Taiyo-Yuden and whatever else is handy. It seems extremely difficult to test DVD recordings with consumer gear. That does inhibit me a bit on archiving with them, but again I use two different media for each master - and keep my fingers crossed. So far, no problems but in time I may well lose something of value. That's the price of convenience, I'm afraid. Mike -- [log in to unmask] http://www.mrichter.com/
