I know that there are dual layered media and burners now but I haven't tried any of those yet. Also, most distributors (Columbia, Anchor Bay, Rhino, etc...) will replace damaged discs. All you have to do is ask. Most will send you a mailer, some will request the disc first. --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
