Doesn't really matter, I have had luck with
various brands of CDRW disks, however I have also been
bitten pretty bad. I recommend you stay with brand
names, doesn't have to be the best but don't go with
totally unknown ones. Stay away from Pacific Digital,
I never had as many problems with CDRW media from them
then with anybody else. I stay with Acer (the same
company my burner is made by) and Memorex. Never had
any problems with either and the price isn't too bad
(about $4.99CND each).

No, AFAIK CDRW media only comes in one size,
650MB or 74 minutes. Although the CDR world does have
slightly higher capacities (80 minutes or 700MB) I
don't believe that has crossed over to the CDRW world
yet. TTYL
