These are Verbatim DVD-R Azo, I just didn't have any blank Verbatim CD-R Azos, which should make a way more vibrant image because of the wider tracks (almost double as wide as these DVD ones)
Original image, burnt at ~8.8x.
made a small graphic about it. Honestly, some times you just need a surplus of 2 caster minions or 3 to keep a freeze long enough and then start a slow-push to be able to get a nice recall timing
