Hi,

Not sure if I should be addressing the admins or the forum community as a whole, but hello to either group.  I was looking to register so I could post a question about what the recommended burning method is after dumping and what software, drive, and media to use.  I've done a couple of searches for existing related questions but I wasn't finding much.

I have about thirty older PC game discs (from 1999-2004) that I am hoping to back up for my personal records.  I've purchased a used Plextor drive for this purpose.  I am then hoping to burn (and play from) fresh copies of each to preserve the originals as long as possible.  I did this in an amateur way when I was younger with a few games to reduce wear on the originals but I'm hoping to take a more elevated and methodical approach this time.

If you might feel this topic is appropriate to the forum, I would certainly appreciate being approved for an account.

Many thanks in advance for your consideration.

Hello and sorry for the delay.  It's great that you already have a Plextor.  Do you plan on dumping and submitting your discs / verifications to the redump database? If so, please bear with us and an admin will approve your account when they can.  Thanks!
