Thanks for the tests yetanotherid

My worst disc

Scandisc of it

It can still be read from. But I had to make a 3rd attempt for a few files to copy over.
The disc was never used after burning and it's only 3 months old.
It was my high speed burn test on my old drive. The other were all 2x, this one was 8x.

I had some CD-RWs almost go bad on me a long time ago(Cyclic Redundancy check errors). Unstopable Copier managed to pull the uncooperative files off them. But that only works for media. Something like a game backup would probably not work unless the flaws were in the movies or sound.

Where does it list this % quality anyway? I only see the PI and PIF ratings.
