| I get excellent results with these: Verbatim DataLifePlus Crystal Super AZO CD-R 52x (MCC type 3) Tried writing speeds: 48x, 40x, 32x My NEC 3500 writes these discs equally well at speeds 32-48x (haven't tried anything slower). I don't know about long-time stabilty as I have only had these discs for a month, but they have a fairly scratch resistant top (i.e. "Crystal"). Here's a PlexTools C1/C2 scan performed in a Plextor PX-712A drive at 48x speed; the disc was written at 40x with firmware 2.18 LD_V2 beta4: http://forum.cdfreaks.com/attachment...id=26199&stc=1 Note: PlexTools doesn't directly support scanning at higher than 24x, but it can be tricked into doing so by externally changing the drive's reading speed. EDIT: These discs are "Made in China" and were bought in Germany.

I bought 100 Verbatims from www.wesellcd.com for €20 (incl. VAT) + shipping. EDIT: For some reason the price at WeSellCD is 40% higher when you enter the German Language part compared to the Danish language part for this media???

| Hi all! Thx for advice.I will try the Verbatims first, because they are easier to get. Btw: I already use Tayo Yuden DVD-R from Plextor with the 3500 and they give excellent Results. |
| You can order Taiyo Yudens as well as Verbatims etc. from this site in Germany: http://www.os-mediatrade.de |
