What is the best way to clean the blank media after burning to it? I do not want to use anything that might degrade the dye, and therefore the movie on the disk. (get rid of finger prints and smudges)
I have used Imation 16X, Maxell 16X, Fuji film 8x, And about to open my first box of Verbatim 16X:clap: . I burned most of my back ups at 8x and now have the burner set a 6X (figured it would burn smoother at a little slower rate, correct me if I am wrong here). I keep all my burned disk in a Mainstays brand disk case. I use a Sharpie to only write the name of the movie on the disk. How long should these disks last? Should I expect to load one up in a few months or a year from now and it not work? Should they last a few years or even longer?
I am just curious on this and to see what others opinions are on this. Seeing how we have some really smart people on here....
(I know that sometimes a disk may just die with no reason or ryme)
