Like these? Description says "Advanced AZO recording dye" even though not shown on the image. Or these AZO ones -> https://www.verbatim.com/prod/optical-media/cd/datalife-plus-cd-recordable/cd-r-azo-sku-94760/ If these just work without worrying about the record speed, it's worth it! Thanks.

Just a bummer that even today after all these years (decades) manufacturing and supporting optical media and drives - it's still a crap shoot whether any write will work, and no way to know until after you've wasted a few discs trying to figure out - Oh, with this drive and these discs, I can only do 10x... I'll shop for some Verbatim to use going forward. Thanks for replying! Appreciate the support.

Thanks. Writing at 10x worked. I guess I'll just use slower speeds from now on.

Trying to copy Queen GHits I/II on CD-R. CD 1 wrote successfully, CD 2 failed, see images and error log below. I've seen the posts regarding use of Ritek/CMC discs but disc 1 wrote okay: I 16:45:31 Source File: E:\CDs\queen1.cue I 16:45:31 Source File Sectors: 263,057 (AUDIO/2352) I 16:45:31 Source File Size: 618,710,064 bytes I 16:45:31 Source File File System(s): None I 16:45:31 Destination Device: [0:0:0] TSSTcorp CDDVDW SU-208FB TF01 (D:) (SATA) I 16:45:31 Destination Media Type: CD-R (Disc ID: 97m26s66f, CMC Magnetics Corp.)

So the question is - if the source file size > 700MB, it's gonna fail no matter what 80min CD-R I use, right? If that's the case, then this is a bug report as that should be reported by ImgBurn before the write is attempted. So how does one create a copy of this disc? Do I have to find 800GB CD-Rs? Thanks Toby PS - the image files (cue/bin) were created by ImgBurn reading the retail discs right before I tried the write.
