Q: I do the church service on CD for shut-ins. Can you make copies from one to the other and do they copy well? Asked on 7/27/2010 by P from VA Know the answer? Answer this question 3 answers A: Yes you can. Answered on 8/6/2010 by Customer Care from Staples A: Yes, they work like any other CD blank. But in my experience not all CD players read these CDs reliably after they were burned. If it's not something important, or it's something where you can afford to replace problem copies without it affecting your reputation, then these blanks are decent enough. I will probably use the rest of my spindle for file transfers, as it seems that computer CD-ROM drives handle the final product better than audio CD players. Answered on 10/15/2010 by Kadye from Bridgeville, DE A: Yes - and you don't need anything special, just whatever standard CD Copy routine came with your computer. If you didn't get it with the PC, search online for "free cd copying software" and there are many that are freeware (no cost) and very good. Since the software will be making a DIGITAL copy, there is no loss of quality. In my own ministry, we often make 50+ copies of the same disc image, and it works flawlessly.

Q: Can you save artwork on these disks. I have artwork in adobe illustrator in eps and ai files. Asked on 1/11/2010 by Anonymous Know the answer? Answer this question 3 answers A: Yes, you can save those formats on this media. Answered on 1/25/2010 by Customer Care from Staples A: You certainly should be able to save any kind of file that you have on a PC or Mac hard drive. Remember that this media is relatively fragile, so I would suggest making two copies if the artwork is important to you - one copy to use and another put away as "archival backup" in case the first CD gets damaged. Answered on 3/9/2010 by Mike from Allamuchy NJ A: Yes. I however would only use them as a temporary storage or archive need. Answered on 3/16/2010 by backupproductions from Westminster, Ca
Q: what is the difference between the DVD-R and athe DVD+R I realize they are both written once, but other than that I need to know what they do different Asked on 11/27/2009 by Catty Know the answer? Answer this question 4 answers A: They are different formats. When the DVD was first crated some companies created DVD’s in the “minus” R format and others in the “plus” R format. Newer burners and ROMs will support both formats, however if you have an older PC you may want to check your user manual to determine which format yours supports Answered on 12/30/2009 by Customer Care from Staples A: Overview of DVD Recordable: +R Versus -R The Standards Differences 1) The DVD-R (pronounced "DVD dash R") and -RW media formats are officially approved by the standards group DVD Forum. The DVD Forum was founded by Mitsubishi, Sony, Hitachi, and Time Warner, so it has tremendous industry support for its technical standards. 2) DVD+R ("DVD plus” R) and +RW formats are not approved by the DVD Forum standards group, but are instead supported by the DVD+RW Alliance. The DVD+RW Alliance is supported by Sony, Yamaha, Philips, Dell, and JP, so it also has tremendous industry support for its technical standards. Note that Sony supports both organizations. 3) Trivia "DVD Slim" format is not approved by any standards body. 4) Trivia: DVD RAM is a late 1990's format that has lost popularity, and is effectively a non-choice for consumers today, since most movies in 2004 will not play on DVD RAM. Answered on 12/15/2009 by Bill from Boston MA A: Overview of DVD Recordable: +R Versus -R The Functional Differences The main functional differences between DVD-R and DVD+R are: 1) the DVD recorder's built-in defects management, 2) the way the recorders format and rewrite DVDs, 3) the price. According to the claims of the DVD Alliance, using a DVD+R/+RW recorder will let you do the following: 1. Instantly eject without having to wait for finalized formatting. 2. Ability to record one DVD disc partially on PC and partially on television. 3. Background formatting: while the disc is being formatted, you can simultaneously record on already-formatted portions of the same disc. 4. Enhanced ability to edit filenames, movie and song titles, and playlists. 5. 100% compatibility with all other DVD players, while still enjoying these extra recording features. Answered on 12/15/2009 by Bill from Boston MA A: Two different recording formats. DVD+ has been generally considered a more robust format and less prone to errors. Error free burning means less wasted discs. Early on you purchased either a plus (+) or dash (-) format burner, however most late model burners are now capable of writing to either format.
