Burn Ad Infinitum or For Nuttin'

[Randy Clark]

Don't know if you're talking about the supermediastore sampler pack or 
not, but I ordered one about a month & a half ago.  So far I've only 
tried the Optodisc Silver, and the Ritek RiData discs. I had previously 
had a problem with kHypermedia discs and my in-laws' DVD players 
getting about 2/3 of the way thru my iMovie/iDVD-produced video before 
it got completely stuck.  I tried the same video on Verbatim 
DataLifePlus blanks and they viewed without a hitch. Another video went 
onto an Optodisc which also worked without a flaw.

Both videos burned on the Optodisc and Ritek disks worked okay on my 2 
set top players (cheapo GE and mid-range Toshiba); and on a friends' 
Panasonic set top.  I'd recommend the sampler pack as a great way to 
try out a few different brands (that are usually pretty inexpensive at 
supermediastore.com or shop4tech.com).
