there's no writable VCD but CDR or CDRW. the CDR I burn back in 1997 still work today. CDRW is different story.

update: sent the disc to 3 separate shops in sls

As Philips Teo once said, the current optical drive has to support too many optical format, they are not as durable as the simple CDROM drive. that is true cause the 4x CDROM drive I bought during PII still work today but the many multi-rewriter with CDR/CDRW/DVD+-R/W features, no longer works.

should just buy a new optical drive first before sending them to shop, they cost less than $30. with that kind of price, the curent DVDR/W burner are almost diposable item, they aren't made to last.

Seems like need special DVD/Blu-ray writer drive produced by LG, ASUS, Lite-On. Not all normal DVD/Blu-ray writer can be used.

Most newer LG blu ray writers should work already. Mine does. Mdisk was designed to work with standard blu Ray writers, but there could be compatibility problems with some brands I guess.
