I'm getting about a 50% success rate with the colored cd's I got from 
compusa.  cdrecord gives out this interesting note:

Disk type:    unknown dye (reserved id code)
Manuf. index: -1
Manufacturer: unknown (not in table)

Manufacturer is unknown because of the orange forum embargo. As the orange
forum likes to get money for recent information, it may be that this media
does not use illegal manufacturer coding. Blocks total: 359849 Blocks
current: 359849 Blocks remaining: 244327 Starting to write CD/DVD at speed
4 in real TAO mode for single session. Last chance to quit, starting real
write in 0 seconds. Operation starts.

I've never had bad burns on my recorder before.  Its compusa sku #282273 
if anyone else has experience with these neat looking colored compact 
jewel cased cd's.
