Berbagai tips membersihkan/memperbaiki CD-DVD yang tergores

CD atau DVD yang sudah lama kadang mengalami kerusakan di permukaannya, misalnya goresan sehingga susah dibaca lagi. Sebelumnya saya pernah menulis tentang software gratis untuk recovery CD/DVD seperti ini dengan Recovery Toolbox. Tetapi sebelumnya, kita bisa mencoba berbagai tips berikut untuk membersihkan kepingCD/DVD.

Berbagai cara berikut bisa dilakukan, seperti dengan Pasta gigi, Vaseline, Pledge, Brasso atau dengan Pisang dan kulitnya

Sebelum melakukan hal ini, perlu dicek terlebih dahulu bahwa kondisi CD-ROM atau DVD-ROM/RW kita masih bagus, karena CD/DVD-ROM/RW yang sudah lama, kemampuan bacanya akan berkurang. Sehingga bisa jadi kusulitan membaca itu juga karena umurnya sudah lama dan sering sekali dipakai. Untuk memastikan hal ini, bias dicoba di beberapa komputer lain.

Membersihkan goresan CD/DVD dengan Pasta Gigi

Karena hampir semua orang mempunyai pasta gigi, mungkin cara ini yang perlu dicoba pertama kali. Caranya:

1. Siapkan CD/DVD yang permukaannya tergores baik sedikit atau banyak
2. Siapkan kain, kapas atau tissu yang lembut
3. Ambil pasta gigi, oleskan pada kain dan usapkan pada permukaan CD/DVD.
4. Gosok berulang-ulang dengan lembut sampai terlihat goresannya menghilang atau mulai hilang.
5. Setelah selesai, bersihkan dengan air kemudian tinggal di test.

Membersihkan dengan Vaseline

Bagi anda yang mempunyai Vaseline, bisa juga digunakan untuk membersihkan atau memperbaiki CD/DVD yang tergores. Caranya mirip dengan pasta gigi. Gunakan kain yang lembut dan oleskan vaseline di kain kemudian bersihkan permukaan CD/DVD yang tergores, ulangi sampai terlihat goresannya hilang atau terlihat bersih.

Membersihkan dengan Pisang

Selain enak dimakan, sedikit pisang dan kulit pisangnya ternyata bisa juga digunakan untuk membersihkan keping CD/DVD yang tergores. Caranya :

1. Siapkan CD/DVD yang tergores/kotor
2. Ambil pisang, kupas dan gosokkan pisang di permukaan CD/DVD secara memutar
3. Seka dengan kulit pisangnya. Bagian lilin dari kulit pisang akan membantu memperbaiki dan membersihkan permukaan CD/DVD
4. Ambil kain yang bersih dan lembut kemudian bersihkan permuakaan CD-nya dengan gerakan memutar dan tekanan yang ringan, selama 3-4 menit
5. Setelah selesai bersihkan dengan pembersih kaca jika ada.

Membersihkan dengan Pledge

Pledge yang biasanya digunakan untuk membersihkan furniture atau perabot rumah tangga, bisa juga digunakan untuk membersihkan CD/DVD yang tergores. Caranya sama dengan sebelumnya, semprotkan Pledge di keping CD/DVD kemudian gosok dengan kain yang lembut secara perlahan, sehingga goresan di CD akan tertutupi oleh lapisan lilin.

Membersihkan CD dengan Brasso

Jika berbagai cara diatas tidak berhasil, Brasso bisa dijadikan alternatif. Caranya mirip seperti di atas, gunakan kain yang lembut, kemudian teteskan brasso di kain tersebut. Gunakan untuk mengelap permukaan CD sampai terlihat goresan menghilang atau menjadi halus kembali. Setelah selesai bersihkan dan coba CD tersebut.

Berbagai cara diatas bisa dicoba dan di praktekkan, tetapi untuk CD atau DVD dengan kerusakan yang parah (goresan sangat dalam atau sangat banyak), mungkin tidak akan mudah, meskipun tidak ada salahnya untuk dicoba. Tips ini diambil dari berbagai sumber, semoga bermanfaat (ebsoft).

The difference between DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD+RW and DVD-RW

There's DVD+R, DVD+RW, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and even DVD-ROM! So what's the difference between all of these different names, aren't all DVDs the same? Well, it's not quite that simple.

Let's first start with the most obvious difference: some have R and some have RW. The "R" stands for readable, while the "W" stands for writeable.

The main difference between DVD-R and DVD-RW, or DVD+R and DVD+RW is that the R disc formats can only be written to once, and then it is only readable and can’t be erased for the rest of its digital life. While RW discs are can be written to and erased many times, they are both readable and writeable.

"R" discs are perfect if they are only needed to be written to once, such as giving some files to a friend or transferring them between PCs. "RW" discs have their strength in the ability to be used many times over, which is great for routine system backups, etc. And naturally, the RW discs are slightly more expensive than the R discs, but you'll have to decide if the trade offs are worth the money.

Now, onto the difference between DVD-R and DVD+R. As I just described above, DVD-R & DVD-RW are sister discs, the difference being one is writeable once, while the other is writeable multiple times. The same thing is true for DVD+R & DVD+RW. So the question is, what's the difference between the plus and minus?

In order to explain this we must take a trip back in time. When DVDs were first being developed, there was no industry standard. Multiple companies were competing to develop what they hoped would be the dominant form of the future.

The DVD-R DVD+R difference can easily be summarized by the following:

* The DVD-R/RW standard was developed by Pioneer, and is used primarily by Apple and Pioneer. These "minus" discs can only be written to in one layer on the discs surface. In addition, this format is supported by the DVD forum, but is in no way an industry standard. DVD-R/RW discs are cheaper than the "plus" format.
* The DVD+R/RW format is supported by Philips, Dell, Sony, HP, and Mcft. These discs can be written to in multiple layers, giving them slightly better and more disc storage than the "minus" format. Because of this additional capacity, they are slightly more expensive than "minus" discs.

A couple final things to clear up is the difference between DVD-ROM and DVD+RW, or the other DVD formats I mentioned above. The DVD-ROM drive can only read DVDs, while the other DVD drives can read and write data to DVDs.

And naturally the DVD+RW CD+RW difference can be explained by the "DVD" or "CD" prefix. DVDs, on average, can store up to 4.7 GB of data, while a CD can only store about 700 MB of data, or about 15% of a DVD's capacity. While CDs are slightly cheaper, in my opinion, the benefits of DVDs are much greater.

So now that you've learned about the difference between DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and even DVD-ROM, which one is right for you? The easiest way to determine which is more beneficial is to watch the industry trends. A few years ago all pre-built computers were shipping with DVD-ROM drives. Today, most PCs have a burnable DVD drive.

I feel that the benefits of having a burnable DVD drive far outweigh any additional costs. They store much more data, and they are ideal for storing your home movies to watch on your DVD player.

My advice is to look at DVD burners that support all of the major formats I've mentioned above, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW, and DVD+RW. While a DVD drive that supports all of these formats may be slightly more expensive, it will allow you to use any type of DVD disc to burn to, and you'll be protected from any industry shifts to one format or the other.
