What does the Recording Surface of the Archival Century Disc Look Like?

While I was at it, I took digital photographs of the recording surface of the Archival Century Discs as well.

Then, this evening, just after work, I logged onto my twitter account and received a direct message from someone who said “Cool Product” along with a link to the Archival Century Disc Review which now on the new site which used to be CDFreaks.com.

I clicked on the link, not knowing what it was, then ended up on error page. So, I went back to the post and tried the link again. It was only partially right so I erased part of the link and found the post I think the micro blogger was referring to, which was our review by MegaDETH on the new myce.com website.

Apparantly, CDFreaks.com has upgraded to myce.com (I’m assuming it means My Consumer Electronics) since they are into reviewing and discussing so much more than just optical media these days.

So, now my link to what was once CDFreaks.com, is myce.com beta version. Hey, at least they included all of the hard work they did in thoroughly testing the Archival Century Discs, both the cds and the dvds.
(Which we greatly appreciate, in case we haven’t thanked them enough?)

All of that to say, one of the comments on the review was if the OP could show them some pictures of the recording surface of the discs. That was only ten months ago, but better late than never, I suppose.

So, for anyone else who has asked or wondered what the recording surface of the Archival Century Discs look like, here they are.

As you can see, they look almost just like any other ordinary CD or DVD product. The difference is that they have a revolutionary Hard Coat Protection like the Blu-ray discs and a nice AZO Blue (cd) and AZO Purple (dvd) glow to them.

I have rambled on long enough for more than a post, I will see you again soon.

One of our longtime customers, Videographer and Producer Bill Wagy of Sarasota, Florida gave us a glowing testimonial on the only DVD he uses, the Archival Century Disc. Bill does video production for local famous events like the Sarasota Opera House, the Sarasota Film Festival and so many other events. Bill was the chief videographer at Sarasota’s Local News channel SNN6 and produced all of their special interest pieces as well as their sports clips and news reels.

When it comes to the elite getting married in our area, you can bet Bill Wagy is one of the first people they try to hire (if he’s available). I’m sure Bill Wagy has a laundry lists of accomplishments I am unaware of, so all I can say is that Bill is a super guy and we appreciate this testimonial (without compensation, mind you) and we appreciate his business.

We just setup a page on youtube with our new videos of the Century Disc. You can check them out at www.youtube.com/centurydisc . We are in the process of setting up the new Century Disc website and hope it will be complete next week. At least the first edition. From there we can always tweak it and work toward improvements.

In the meantime, check out the videos on youtube and visit our current site at rmgproducts.com
