[Hidden-tech] What to do with DVD-R

[Rich@tnr]

Thanks all - I'm out of time for now, have to revisit next month.
Appears to be a mix of bad disks, deteriorated media, and bad burners
The ISO-buster is an interesting idea
Won't be following any more list entries - DM me directly if anything more.

To clarify the source - these are all music programs from the GreatFalls 
Discover Center Coffee House
The first of the season is coming Fri 23rd and they are all fun events 
that has been happening for over 10 years

More at https://greatfallsdiscoverycenter.org/calendar/category/coffeehouse/

and

for the full schedule

Another one of my projects - the Friends of the GF-DC

PS - when I say DVD-R I mean that - not +R/+RW etc etc etc - nothing 
ambiguous about it.
