![]() Sorry you're having issues man.maybe someone else will chime in here that knows more about it.įirst, paper labels are outdated. Now I did have a few problems when a drive was going bad on me to where I thought it was the disc, but a new drive always fixed the problem for me. I wish I had some answers for you, but being quite a sentimental guy myself (and quite a pack rat with old CDR's etc) I have every data disc and DVD that I have ever burned. Even my old Kodak CDRW work perfectly and I've been told data saved on those can become corrupt over time. I'm not sure what the problem could be other than maybe the media you used? I've always used Maxell and Memorex discs and have never had a problem. I had to reach for a few of those discs for little things I still use.some photo's, documents and actually a few Dx plugs that still work believe it or not. As a matter of fact, I had a pretty serious pc crash where I had to get another one a little while back. All of those discs still work to this day without a problem in my CD players here. I have Neato labels as well as Stomper CD labels dating back to the first CD burner I ever owned running Windows 98 SE. This is definitely a strange problem, but fortunately for me, not one that I have personally experienced. I spent a lot of time dubbing VHS tapes to DVD. I'll survive but the home movies make me weep. If this is a common problem, we need to get the word out so that people stop using these paper labeling products. Neato is still in business and I assume other companies are making similar products. I am wondering if anyone else is seeing anything similar. My guess/theory is A) the adhesive is degrading the plastic or B) the paper labels are shrinking over time and causing the disc to warp ever so slightly - enough to render the disc unusable. I see no way that the disc could be rendered unplayable or unusable. I can understand why some might work or not work in certain situations but this is now a 100% problem. They were stored as well as could be stored. Some of these discs haven't been taken out of the jewel cases since day one. What I have found - at this point in time - is that none of the discs that I had labeled now function. The discs all worked fine in the beginning. But prior to that, I had labeled a fair number of discs including some short run duplicates I made for clients (and myself), home movies, data backups, etc. Before I go any further, let me just state that I stopped doing this some years ago because of various problems with labeled discs not functioning in certain players. 1999, I had been labeling CD-Rs (and later on, DVD-R's) with paper labeling products (generally, Neato brand materials). I'm curious how many of you might be experiencing the same thing as I am.
