Also, I've recently been told that write once media is better quality wise than rewritable. Hellok , Jan 25, The verify is another tool that gives some evidence of the quality of the recording. A freebie utility can only approximate what test equipment can provide, and it only applies to the non-calibrated drive being used; but it can be helpful sometimes in isolating troublesome discs or recordings. I don't know enough about ImgBurn. Write-once media are different from rewritable, but in terms of quality one judges the performance figures and the adherence to specifications to produce that performance.
In terms of performance, rewritable media have significantly lower reflectivity, but firmware adjusts for the difference. The biggest problem with rewritable media is the lack of standards for formatting and the incompatibility of packet-writing formats that have given them a bad name.
In some ways rewritable media are better than dye-based media because they are susceptible only to high levels of heat and humidity while dye-based media are susceptible to the same conditions plus the effects of light.

I haven't had a one hundred percent successful burn. It plays eventually, but some of the players I put it in take a while to read it and it looks like crap sooo. I don't know enough about the different types of media and burning them. So I asked. Thanks Joe. Hellok , Jan 26, Give it a go it doesnt affect any other software you have installed unlike other burning software.
As Churchill famously predicted when Chamberlain returned from Munich proclaiming peace in his time: "You were given the choice between war and dishonor. You chose dishonor, and you will have war.

The phase-change material can change from one phase to the other when it is heated and cooled. The material used is chosen because the two solid states reflect light differently. The amorphous state reflects less light than the crystalline state does.
Therefore, by starting with a disc surface in the crystalline state, heating with the laser can change small spots to the amorphous state, which will appear dark upon playback. Heating the material with the laser beam above its melting point transforms it from crystalline to amorphous.
The rapid cooling of the spot causes the material to freeze in the amorphous state. These spots can then be erased in a process known as annealing. This is accomplished by heating the material to a lower temperature, which transforms it back to its crystalline state. Existing data can be overwritten by turning the laser on continuously to the erase power, which will erase any existing marks. Switching the laser to a higher power, one sufficient to melt the material, enables the creation of a new mark.
Once an area of the disc has been written to, it cannot be erased. The recordable layer is an organic cyanine or pthalocyanine dye. Initially, the organic dye has high reflectivity. When the laser is applied in write mode, however, a chemical reaction occurs that makes that "pit" less reflective than the "land" around it.
During readout, the laser detects the difference in reflectivity between the "pits" and "lands" to read the data or music. CD-R discs are highly reflective--about 60 to 70 percent of light is reflected or bounced back to the photo detector or read laser.
So CD-RWs do not need a protective caddy. Existing CD audio players and CD-ROM drives have a light sensor designed to read pressed or write-once discs, which reflect 70 per cent of the laser light from the points between the data pits, and around 30 per cent from the pits. The difference represents digital ones and zeros. Although it is possible to make an alloy that matches these optical characteristics, it requires a very powerful recording laser to melt it, making the system too expensive.
Six months ago, Philips and Hewlett-Packard agreed a standard for CD-RW, based on 20 per cent reflection from the alloy in its crystalline state and 5 per cent in the amorphous state. This allows the recording equipment to use a cheap milliwatt laser. The hitch is that the player must have a more sensitive sensor than is needed for conventional CDs. The Multiread player has an automatic gain control in the circuit which can amplify the signal from the light sensor.
