Tom,
Plextor was long considered one of the best burners
available, but that fancy reputation has slid a couple
notches in recent years. It's not that they're not
good burners (they still are), just that they command
a premium price about 2 1/2 or 3 x the competition,
which is no longer justified. The Pioneer or top NEC
burners may be the best nowadays, and certainly the
best for the $$.
Nero, on the Dark Side (stick with v. 6, as Nero 7 has
a lot of reports of being buggy and even more bloated
than before) has a whole config screen devoted to the
option of overburning. I never found anything
comparable in the RSJ literature, when last I checked.
There are some "extended length" 800 meg. CDs on the
market -- Finodisk, I think. They sell them at the
Pomona show. The last time I tried one, it did not
work for me . . . but that was about 4 burners ago,
and I would not consider those limited test results
conclusive.
