Special codecs?? Sorry, I don't fully understand that sentence.. AFAIK Intenso is just a label, not a manufacturer - meaning intenso discs could be for example ritek or prodisc.. You should always look for the manufacturer, not the brand/label..

Yeah, I know. I shouldn't try to repeat what I'm told by specialists... But indeed, I've been told about a matter of codecs, in the way the CDRs are programed.

Anyway, what I can repeat the better from what I've been told is that the Intenso CDRs - no matter the manufacturer (I mean the guy knows the manufacturers anyway... not me) -are made following the most rudimentary and essential book of specifications, on the contrary of Sony ones for instance wich may have a few things added.

I'm just repeating though, once again.

I would try and find the Taiyo Yuden ones if you can and discard ever using Intenso. Their dye is crap. We used Intenso CDR's to back up the studio sessions for my old band a few years ago and every one is now useless. The CD's have rotted and are unreadable in anything. Same goes for their DVD-R's too. My wife's work used Intenso until i gave them samples to test and they decided to test their old ones and they found a few that had started to show signs of rot. Taiyo Yuden use one of the best dyes available and i haven't had one single disc they manufactured show any signs of degrading after many years.
