Imation is made by 3M which uses syntheic dye. It really should not
matter. I found though with them that pushing syntheics to the edge
seems to give some problems with some things. Example SVCD/VCD might
chop a movie in to halves but it be right at the edge. I have times
with sythenics where the last couple minutes of the svcd are all
foobared up good. Though I typically dont do media check on the cds as
that system is usually foobared. Example FC2 i downloaded the iso on
windows compared the md5sums they all matched perfectly. Opened up
Virtual PC whento to installe and on the 2nd disk found bad error i
rebooted the Virtual machine did an install, full (i skip media check)
no problems. I burn my slackware cds at the highest my cdburners will
go in linux no problems. But again slackware does not push a cd all the
way out to the rim.
