I haven't seen any physical flaws thanfully, but the burn quality is definitely lacking from what im used to! I sure hope that this is simply a hiccup in their quality control. The very name Verbatim means an exact copy, or Perfection (Perhaps a stretch). In a sense, they should be trying for AT LEAST equality to Taiyo Yuden! Im probably over reacting here LOL! I wonder if this is the next Lite-on Freak. Freak of course being a GOOD thing LOL! I sure wouldn't mind my first Blu-Ray Rom/burner being comparable to the LH-20A1H/S. Sure is spendy though. I'd probably buy it right now if it were only $150. Perhaps black friday... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827248014
Well fellows it's been awhile but after work today..I went over to my Local Micro Center and picked up some disc's a 100pk for S19.99 at first...I thought they was Ty's in the clear cases until I saw the sticker saying Made in Tawiwan...lol then I had to find what they where Verbs 8x Shiny(No stack ring) here's a burn with the Sony Optiarc ad-7200s-ob the scanned the scanned again with liteon dh-20a4p-04 The PI Error started to Jump at 0.5 and dropped at 0.8 Optiarc liteon can you tell the different both shiny
Oman7 didn't you ask about a blu-ray reader/burner?? here's my suggestion. LG WH08LS20K LG builds brilliant burners but they don't scan or any of that... BURNING is there soul objective, even tho they do read well too.
Yes, I asked LOL! Im pretty patient. And if it was overlooked, or simply no one knew, no big deal. I won't be buying one til black friday Thanks for the suggestion. I've been eyeing that LG as well While I would like a lite-on, it would not bother me to buy an LG first. I get the feeling that some of the first generation BD burners/Readers are gonna be real die hards!
Prolly true. I didn't ask if you were gonna burn Blu-Ray or not. If you're just gonna read it and convert it to DVD format then a Liteon reader (combo Blu-Ray drive) will do nicely.
ok folk's back by popular demand. i just got some of the msame 8x+r verbs from microcenter that bigwill got. look at this beauty. burnt on my AD7220S at 8x and scanned on it.if i scan this on my litey i might get a 100 score..lol... 4066 total pie's that unheard of..... im burning anothe on my 7200A right now will scan and post it.
ok here is the scan from the 7200A burn. look at the pie's.. OMG. yes higher than the 7220 scan, but as you know the 7200 scans different than the 7220 does.. gonna scan this on the litey and see what i get. OM7. i think it has alot to do with the FW... edit here is the scan of the disc above scanned on the 20A4P... i think i might need to buy some more of these disc....lol
changed things up here. instead of burning with imageburn, i used nero to create and scan. did this on my liteon 20A4P. a 12x burn. not bad at all. you can tell at the end once it got up to the 12x speed i started to get more pie's but still a awsome burn. think i might take this one over to cdfreaks and see if it qualifies for a WOF.... EDIT: i couldnt leave the 7200S out of the fun.. good scan better than most but not as good as the others i just posted.
Yes, Firmwares greatly effect burn quality. But you're also using 003's, im using 004's BAD GRAMMAR LOL!
i understand that OM7. with the amount of 003 verbs microcenter has i might never burn another 004...lol
Yeah I'm not too keen on the Verb 004s either. I did burn a few @20X yesterday and got a 93 on the one I scanned -burned on the fly with Nero Express
