CD-Rw, How much is too many?

[worldpease]

This is not an emergecy,
I was just wondering, you know how you can burn things into a CD-Rw many times, but, is there a limit to it?,
what I mean is that,
I have one or two CD-Rw's that I use to burn videos to play in the Philps DivX Player, and then erase them and burn something else,
and I have done this many, and I mean many times, and it doesn't seem to
wear out.
Does this mean that, if I take care of the disc, I can use it indefenitly?
or does it afect the 'burn quality'?, cus now that I come to think of it, the video quality is not that good anymore...
well, what do you think?.

It is our understanding that the behavior of CD-RW media is that it degrades very little up to a point (~1000 rewrites) and then very rapidly after that. If you would like to be very cautious about your data, you may want to limit your use to 500 rewrite cycles.
Hope this helps, cool avatar. :)

Cool man!
That is very precise info.
Thanks.

Your welcome. 500 rewrites should be plenty. :)
