Post your DISC quality scans here 2

Couldnt agree with you more on that one. My 20A1H is one of the best burners ive had the pleasure of using! I cant choose between the opti and it though, BOTH solid SO FAR!
Heres a TYG03 burn. And I believe its the best FOR ME to date. VERY awesome! The media obviously goes well with 1Z3 F/w

 

DANG, the early bird gets the worm. lol. You can use silicone adhesive as well Rob, it'll give you the same adhesion and some flexibility. Toro NSN does that with their builds and it works very well but you can take them apart if you need too, I've done it I know. lol.

.....gm

 

Heres a NASTY little burn, LOL. I dont know how much longer im gonna trust this iHAP if its gonna produce burns like this one. I realize that it could be MUCH worse, but... Im use to seeing AWESOME! Go ahead, garmoon. Let me have it! LOL

 

GARmoonY can say what he wants to but that's NOT a bad burn. I know the AD-7200 burns a little better than the Lite-On but that's a good burn none the less. The Jitter is nice and the TYG02 is gonna last you, so don't worry there. Remember that most ODD's give you a little better "scan" with DVD+R discs. NOT always but the great DOCTOR used to say something along those lines. I have definitely "received" my best scans with +R media, nothing in particular either. TY, Ritek, MCC, +R media normally does fairly well, but on the other hand I've had better luck with -R media when it comes to CMC MAG stuff. So go figure.

....gm

 

mmm hmmm, that sounds about the way of it. Yah, my +R verbs scan FREAKISHLY awesome! Have more on the way too Gonna try some TY +R's too. Wanna mess with the bitsetting capability.

 

i think you will like this drive give it a few burns to get use to media..it loves to burn good at 12x with +r media..that's all.i burn at with them boths. i got good luck with it

 

I dont know whether its the optiarc or a component, but its got me rather nervous at this point. I cant wait to get those verbs here now.
The +R verbs that I use (MCC 004) Are 99% freakishly good scans. If I can spit out a half dozen good scans of those, i'll relax a little. I'd really like to try the +R TY's. do some comparison scanning.

 

omegaman.
your 7200A looks to be getting like mine was.. mine now has been putting out better scans(being scanned on another drive)...

well my 2 new drives should be here today sometime,about 2:30pm..but i will be at work when they get here/

gotta love that tracking..lol

EDIT:
just did this one on the 7200S @8x scanned @5x...sre will be glad to get a litey back in here.lol

 

I feel for yah man, I really do. Typically UPS arrives at my place a few minutes before I have to leave. Most the time, I get to see the box, And thats it! What a tease huh? Especially since I work for um.
Heres a better burn. Im wondering if im just getting a few bad discs. I took a nine led light (HELPS) to the recording dye, and it shows a kinda haze, as well as some being spotty. Oh well. There almost done in this package.

 

well here you have it. there in and about to do a burn on the 7220S

 

Well, Seeing your drop down there, You must have some sata ports to spare, LOL. JEALOUS MUCH -----> :0 Especially if you have a working sata add-in card. Im getting irritated with this computer of mine. Its slowly but surely becoming VERY outdated. Could you work with 2 sata ports? Yah thats right, a big fat 2
I really gotta concentrate on my future build. AM3 baby!!!
NICE SIG by the way

 

well the 7220S is most definitely a lite-on. if not there is way to many similarities between them.

take a look at these two shots of each drive with the same disc in it. look at the drop down speed selection. both the same the 7220S doesnt have the same values as the 7200A/S





even with all the things the same the 7220S cant do jitter test look at this error. but i think this might have something to do with the registry. i had this same type thing for my samsung and changed it to be able to scan.. dont remember how to check and see though.


and here is the first burn and scan off the 7220S on a 8x-r TY. burnt at 8x scanned at 4x on the 7220S yes 4x not the 5x as the 7200A/S.


over all not a bad scan at all first burn on orignal FW. check out the create disc shot though. when i did this burn a minute into the burn AVG kicked in and doing its scans. even with all that going on it still gave me a good first burn.


and here is the same disc scanned on the DH-20A4P


and now to do a burn with the 20A4P. sorry for all the screen shots. kinda got carried away lastnight...lol

Om7
i now have 2 free sata ports. i have 2 sata HDD and 2 sata ODD and 2 ide ODD. i dont have my othe card controler hooked up it gives to many errors. i need a better one.

 

ok here is the first burn on the 20A4P. guess if ya want it done right do it with a litey.....lol damn good for a first burn.


this is a 7.35gb movie. used clonedvd/anydvd2 combo. on the fly. 61% compression. not bad huh???? no need for a FW update i think... i did forget to set the bitsetting for this drive so it is at dvd+r.. gonna do another burn with correct bitsetting.

well i change the bitsetting and enabled smartburn. this burn doesnt look as good. but if ya take out the spike right in the middle it is a great scan.

 

RedRob not a bad burn at all. The differences between the 2 are just the spike it seems, I'm assuming NOTHING else was going on when that spike happened. You might try a different f/w and see if anything is changed with that. I would try the one with everything and fbl NOT fb, just different if you know what I mean. I'm assuming you used that one at least you indicated you would at CDF.

good luck buddy....

....gm

 

well i did just flash it to the 9p59 fb,eos,eoht

whats the difference in the fbl? is it better?getting ready to do a burn with it now.

think i will kick it in over drive do a 16x or 18x burn with one of these 16x+r verbs

 

Did someone say +R verb? LOL. Here is yet another awesome verb scan. Low pi e, low jitter, Fairly low Pif(ehh... its pretty good). All in all, an excellent disc, and an excellent burner. Long live the optiarc, LOL

 

and with the newly flashed FW 9P59 fbl,eos,eoht6. burnt at 12x. and is a converted xvidnot a bad scan at all.






and here is the second burn on the AD-7200S/liteon

 

and another from the 7220S not to impressed with this one. gonna try the fw update 1.01



here is another one with the new 1.01fw.

 

It's really not all that bad RedRob.. NOTHING like the aD-7200S but hey... you know where to get those.. lol. Just gotta pay around $40 delivered.... I knew that I should have purchased about 10-15 of those things.. hehehe.

...gm

 

Indeed, I wouldnt mind 6 of um. Experiment with making a duplicator for under retail, and I could make some money on um.
I still see a few sites carrying the 7200(A). Fairly cheap too. Just need to find all the components to do so.
Heres a "little burn" LOL (1st Optiarc 7200A), Data dvd burned with IMGBURN @8X. The more I use the program, the more I like it. Something to note, And im leaving my config alone for A LONG time now... is that 4/5 of my optical drives are ran via USB->Ide. Running flawlessly now. Gonna check the iHAP next. It didnt like it usb last time. But I gave it my newest conversion cable soo...

When I installed My new ram, I removed my IDE add-in card, and just hooked most of my opti's up via usb. Im pretty ^*&%&%$^#*ED Until I get either a new board or a completely new build. Probably a new build. This comps going on almost 2 yrs. Its time, LOL
