What settings should you use when burn an image to preserve the CDA tracks?

CDA is preserved automatically if you burn with UltraISO. But wait, you wanna burn on CD? Forget about it, use only DVDs.

Yeah, but... if I'm burning a CD image, that fits on a CD, why use a DVD?

NEVER do that! Burn like data. Create a folder and put there your image.

We're free to do whatever we want. I personally prefer to convert DVD to CDs when it's possible. I absolutely don't care about clones.

Okay, now I see what you mean. Store a bunch of ISOs on a DVDrom, rather than burn each individual one to CD. That's alright I guess. I kind of like having each on seperate, incase I want to lend one out, or if I get a better version I can just toss the old one away. What if one of your DVDs goes bad for some strange reason, you could lose half a dozen games in one shot.

Maybe im wrong but cdfreaks forum guys tend to say that cd are more resistant in time than dvds...i like to burn cd isos on a cd too.

I burn the ISOs of the games I like most on CDs, and keep the images of the other games (less interesting for me) on DVDs.

Well, that's life, something bad may happen to us too. We all die, so f(beeep)k CDs and DVDs.

I use only Verbatim, I'm confident in it. And DVDs are much more reliable then Cds.

The use of quality media (CD or DVD) goes without saying.

Yeah, and they end up with losing their precious games/data. One can always learn something the hard way.

Btw, I also use original Verbatim CDs/DVDs.
