Cool thats what I wanted to hear! The only media that touches this drive is TY so I'll stick with 4400mb...thanks alot bro!
ur scans are just fine buddy, no need to worry, there is only so much we here can recommend at AfterDawn to improve upon something that is already done VERY well~ if you remember J_Savage, i have that same drive as you, it is just ONE of the various drives i have to test and work with on a daily basis...with the SAME firmware, dated, 10/14/05 and i've had equally good success as you burning @8x on TY media~ your scans are pretty consistent with MY OWN...i always get between a 95-97 quality score burning @8x on TY media, regardless of whether it's dvd-r or dvd+r format~ but i WILL have to agree, these Liteon drives sure do LOVE Taiyo Yuden discs... burn on buddy, keep up the good work and may the TY force be strong with you... docTY~
Hi there, Now your talking ! If only, they would all listen like you But then again, we would have no one else to make fun of, because they used MemoSux CMC Mag media
ThyDemise The reason that you didn't get a score is that your burner doesn't support PIF which is what CD/DVD Speed Test uses to generate that score. Try DVDInfoPro and see if your burner can give you a result.
It's all about the PIF...I dont get low PIE MAX(100-250),but I allways get very low PIF MAX(1-2) and PIF TOTAL(2-40)

How does this scan look, i don't think to bad for this movie going on to a single layer media. Also how come i get different scan resualts from each of my drives? the other one is a NEC 3540? witch one should i be using to do a scan?? well just have to super size it sorry. http://photobucket.com/albums/v94/daman1/LITE-ON_DVD_SOHD-167T_9S1B_27-Janua.png
This scan sucks. Your total PIF is insanely high. The score of 90 is based soley on your max. PIF of 4 which is not great but acceptable. Your total PIF should be less than a 1000 for a single layer disc. Really they should be less 500 for very good burns. I usually get around 300+ total with Taiyo Yuden 8x +R's and less than 100 PIF totals with Verbatim 8X +R. Nobody knows for sure if high total PIF's will cause a dvd to not play properly. Most people do think a lot of PIF errors will eventually render the dvd useless. I burned a dvd a couple years ago that played fine at the time. I tried to play it a couple weeks ago and it stuttered and froze 20 minutes in. I scanned it and it had a lot of PIF errors. Stick to good media and maybe even burn at slower speeds. I find 8x is best with my Benq 1655.
Actually, I'm not sure if your Liteon 167t is 1 ecc or 8 ecc. If it's 8 ecc then a max. PIF of 4 is great. If it's 1 ecc then it's just barely acceptable. Either way, your total PIF is off the charts. Horrible. Use Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden +R's and if you still get crappy results then get a new burner. Benq 1655 rules.
I don't think your Liteon 167t is good for quality scanning either. I'm pretty sure I've read many posts saying it's not accurate for that kinda thing.
Drives with 1ECC scanning interval: Lite-On, Plextor, NEC Drives with 8ECC scanning interval: BenQ, NEC
Sorry guys been busy, I'm useing TY's hub code GDxxx 4x- media Now when i use my NEC 3540 drive to scan it,i get better results I don't think that damn Liteon 167t is a good drive to scan with I'm going to start using the NEC to scan with. How do i find what ecc my drives are????
Here's a scan with my NEC 3540 drive, how's it look? any better? scaning at 5x is as close as i could get to 4x it did'nt list 4x I burn my backups at 4x always Thanks guys http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/daman1/_NEC____DVD_RW_ND-3540A_2.jpg
daman1 Try setting your total size to under 4400MB, something like 4300 or 4360MB. If you look at the last part of your burn you begin to see more PIF errors and by doing this, it should increase your burn Quality score even more.
