How much data do you burn in a CD-R?
For myself, i will squeeze all data until the very last Megabyte

Yup, use multi-session to optimize the capacity. Can have as many session as you want. However, with the cost of the CDR been so cheap, why even bother to count the MB. With 1GB MicroDrive now use in most DSLR and prosumer class DC, you will be worrying how to split the data into 2 CDR, maybe 500MB each. If saving all your precious photoshot in the CDR, I definately do not suggest buying those stack of no-brand CDR in 50s or 100s per stack. Very Cheap but highly unreliable and unstable in long term storage. Make good coaster thou.

Dye Factor
--------------
- Blue (2yrs + shelf life, older drive and CD players might have problem reading it, very cheap, $0.30/CD)
- Blue Silver (extended life, +3 ~ 4yrs more than true blue, enhanted compatibility , rather cheap $0.35/CD)
- Green Silver (excellent mix, long shelf life 10yrs or longer, excellent compatibility with old CD drives, affordable, good price ratio, $0.40-$0.45/CD)
- Silver/diamond (very long shelf life of 20yrs or longer, hardly have any CD drive that has any problem reading the contents, typical $0.50 - $0.60/CD)
- Pure any color except Silver will have almost the same properties as Blue dye, except bright golden dye which enhants the compability with older sets.

But its always good to play safe, practically, its safe to burn up to 95% of the CD max capacity.

The issue with high speed burning isnt too obvious with Data CD, but when it comes to Audio, the differences can be rather wide open. For Audio application, the faster the burn speed, the higher the noise level of the audio when played back from the disc. For low end system such as VCD player and Discman, one can burn up to 10x without any noticable lost in quality to the untrain ear. But when one play back on a $10k sub system, the noise resulting from burning at high speed can be clearly heard. Thus yamaha Audio Mastering system was set to work at 4x.

Misato, Quite an in-sight on CDR. Leant a little bit more today about dye. The problem is, most of use can't really tell the different color dye one from the other. A couple more comments to add.
