VeniVidiVici Jul 07, 2002, 06:29 PM i am wondering how good imation cd-r's are because in the paper... i saw 100 pack for 4 dollars after rebates... so how's the quality on the cds? Darkman Jul 07, 2002, 09:20 PM Just about finished a 50 spindle of 80 minute Imations. I haven't had any problems with the 45 I have used. Although Nero says the disc capacity is only 79 minutes 30 seconds so I can't burn a full 700 meg to them. Slice Jul 07, 2002, 09:57 PM Burned 3 50pc spindles of their 80 min cd-r. Not a bad one in the bunch. Like Darkman says, though, not quite 80 min on a disc. dcm386 Jul 07, 2002, 09:59 PM I have had imations in the past. No problems with them yet. I used a CDR Identifier and it said they were made by CMC Magnetics Corp. (which aint the greatest company) and they use the short strategy (most cheaper brands do). All in all they seem ok. They work in my PC, DC, PSX, DVD and all my CD players. VeniVidiVici Jul 07, 2002, 10:44 PM wait... so u cant burn the fill 80 mins on the disks?... hmmm that could suck... not always... but sometimes... how are the memorex 80 min disks?... diff store has those on sale for 10 dollars after rebate... celtic_druid Jul 08, 2002, 01:27 AM Moving this to consumer's opinion. wod_uk Jul 08, 2002, 05:45 AM i've used these and were fine on pc but had problems getting them to work on my cd player Suttung Jul 11, 2002, 01:37 AM i used over 200 of them. they work pretty well Jaice Jul 12, 2002, 02:43 AM I been using them for a while for everything, PS1 and PS2 Only had a 2 bad ones in the batch I just used, there good though GodfatherUK Jul 12, 2002, 02:33 PM used them in the past and where ok for me Sharps Jul 12, 2002, 11:08 PM Have no idea how they will be 10 years from now (data retention) but I've gone through 400 so far with no problems, and at less then 3 cents each can't beat the price.... brr8760 Jul 13, 2002, 12:48 AM Never had a problem. I could use nothing but Imation from now on, and be quite happy. Not quite as thick as Verbatim, but then nothing is. DC Fisherman Jul 13, 2002, 03:28 AM i couldn't the rebates of imation, so i went for it. and it turn out to be ok, better than i expected. i mean for 100 pack for 3.99, there is no way i could resist. dcm386, i have a question about the CDR Identifier. is it a software? if yes, then where can i get it? Tony92 Jul 31, 2002, 01:38 PM I've used a pile of em in the past for burning my VCD's on, still going strong with no probs, play great on my ADL-528 .......................Tony92 luciddreamster Aug 01, 2002, 12:41 AM i've been through several hundred imations w/ no problems in several different dreamcasts and various cd players. as far as the memorex, i've found that they seem to be less compatible sometimes. DR69ON Jan 15, 2003, 03:19 AM Well obviously these are good brand, since retail price for these here in the states are 40-45 dollar for 100. But you can always get rebate on 'em. Also other good brand are tdk, memorex, fuji film, verbatim. almostnerd Jan 24, 2003, 12:51 AM where did you get the 100 Imations for 3.99? thanks Lazza Jan 24, 2003, 04:00 AM I bought a load when I was in the US a few months back, seem to be fine. I bought mine in Wal Mart, but IIRC Circuit City had them back then with the mail-in rebate offer on them. DR69ON Jan 24, 2003, 08:38 PM mail in rebate suck. YOu have to wait like 8-10 week for it. I got my 20 dollar mail in rebate from imation in like 6 month. DC Fisherman Jan 27, 2003, 03:58 AM but they do come. |
