#Recordable CD-ROM info?
>> We are looking into getting a recordable CD-ROM system, mainly for
archive backup, but also to make it easier to send large graphics files to
other companies, and also rotoscoped files. <<
We have a Sony CDW-900E and have had good experience with it. I would guess
that we have burned 100+ CDs in the past 6 months. The main problem we have
had is finding software that supports our unit. Most people recommend Easy-
CD Pro 3.0, but it doesn't yet support the 900E. Nor does Corel CD Creator,
etc. As a result we have been forced to make due with a proprietary Sony
package designed for creating Playstation CDs.
It would seem that most of the rom burning software is targeted at the low to
mid-level writers ($2000 – 4000 range). The 900E is a higher-end machine,
with some nice features that aren't available in other models (like you can
optically chain up to 12/15? of them together and burn all disks at once). Oh
well.
Moral: get a burner with good software support! (isn't that always the rule?)
