What things bother you the most?

I'm pretty sure that people don't like the discs because they stick, but if they store them in individual sleeves or in one of those 2-sided sleeve thingies then it shouldn't be a problem. I only put the "no shiny topped discs" because I don't want someone to pack 2 discs in one sleeve and me having to rip them apart doesn't sound very good.

They only "stick" to each other because both surfaces are really smooth, not because of any problem with the discs themselves.

Also, it's probably better if they did "stick" to each other: if they didn't, they'd be spinning against each other and that would scratch the surface of the disc.

Yeah, really, I'm a guy and I realize that it's made up of 1500 1/1000th of a ton parts. It's so easy!

Bingo - the stickiness is actually part of the product packaging to protect the writing side. And to be honest "peeling" a new disc off the pile makes me feel a little safer (having used about 1000 blank DVDs myself in the last 5 years - many of which were 100 spindles of silver Taiyo Yuden from shop4tech.com, no less)

No worries, that's what I did as well. :beaten: It personally doesn't make a difference to me. I store discs is binders, so they're never touching.

So are these discs okay to send to you as well? I already got some verbatims .

O my bad. :beaten: I emailed you saying it was okay. You can use whatever. :)

I know that there's no problem for the most part with shiny discs. But only IF the person who packs the discs does not make the data side face the shiny side of the other disc. At least when sending it to me, in hot Hawaii.

I've had a couple times this summer where people faced the data side to a non-shiny disc's surface and the data side was spotted and in one case, almost 10 discs had to be replaced because the discs skipped in all of my players. Even though it could've been a DVD rot case, I don't trust that method of packing.

So what's my point? Well, most people pack 2 DVDs to one paper sleeve and if they don't read my instructions, some people face the data side towards another disc and I'm just afraid that the shiny part would stick to the disc and cause me problems when the package is waiting for me in the hot sun. Yes, I'm anal in this sense, but only because I really, really hate asking people for replacement discs. =T

However, in Momo-chan's case, I don't mind. Well actually, for all of the people who I trade regularly with I wouldn't mind getting those sorts of discs just as long as they let me know and are sure to pack them the way I want them.

Spotted?

Sounds like the discs were bad in the first place... Some people don't even bother to take a look at the condition of the blank before burning... Also, there's typically no verification mode during burning, unless you create and burn in ISO mode.

Yeah, the discs were probably bad in the first place, but I still have it planted in my mind that it was the fault of the packaging. :sweat:

That's your problem, not the disc's....

Roflmao! That's hilarious - you specified no shiny-topped discs without knowing why? :rofl: :mrgreen:
I've seen "no shiny-topped discs" lots of places, and I'd wondered about why too.
