Post your DISC quality scans here 2

Don't usually burn with the LH-20A1H. Its seen a great many deal of discs. Not bad for its age I suppose. Freakishly low jitter, however erratic. Im sure it'll play fine Scanned by both iHAP and LH20A1H.
8X TYG02

 

Here's a disc to disc burn. From iHAP422 to 7241S @ 8X

These 004's ALMOST make me nervous LOL!

 

@ omegaman7

Have a valium on me. Not to worry about those 004s. To be honest I couldn't tell a 95 from a 85 during playback and probably a 75 too. They all play really nice for me. LMAO! It's like taking blood sugar-the readings are all over the place within a 30min period and on which finger it's taken.

 

LOL! Thats why I said ALMOST makes me nervous. Much like Valium, Verbatim's name has a certain calming effect LOL

 

ROFL.. I don't like the "block" in the middle but everything else seems well within tolerances. I bet they'll last ye for years of service with nothing to worry about.

 

Got home this evening and HOBBIT Claus had been by... Got a few sample DL's to mess with and I might just burn one tonight for giggles and to see how this NEW media works.

 

Here's a new scan, another 8x burn on the Optiarc7200S



Not exactly a new media code, it's been around a couple of years, it's the 067 version of the D01.

For chuckles and grins I dropped one in my Samsung 203B and looky what showed up in the ImgBurn log:

I 18:10:48 Source File: -==/\/[BUILD IMAGE]\/\==-

A 16x burn on an 8x rated DL!

And of course I had to give it a try:

I 18:10:48 Write Type: DAO
I 18:10:48 Write Speed: 16x

I 18:22:01 Export Successfully Completed!
I 18:22:01 Operation Successfully Completed! - Duration: 00:11:13

Success!!! An 11 minute, 13 sec burn of a DL!

How do you like these burn rates:

I 18:22:01 Average Write Rate: 14,431 KB/s (10.4x) - Maximum Write Rate: 21,442 KB/s (15.5x)

Regretfully I couldn't get a scan out of it, but it was fun to try! Maybe if I run several discs through the Sammy I can get it used to burning these and then try the high speeds.......

 

Here's a new one, kind of a shorty, but the PIEs and PIFs are great!

Same Falcon 8x +R DL burned @ 8x on Optiarc7200S, scanned @ 8x on iHAP322.

 

Just scanned my NEW Falcon DL disc and it turned out ok. I don't have the luck that some do with RICOHJPN or RITEK but this is good for what it is... DL and for me the media... I'm actually happy with the results...

@hobbit.... what speed do you get the best results?

RICOHJPN D01
AD-7200S
IMGBURN 4X

 

@ gm,

I'm not seeing a discernable difference, be it 4x, 6x, or 8x.

Here's another one @ 8x:



Here's an older one I burned @ 6x:



And here's one I burned @ 4x:



I do wait a little while, 5-10 minutes, after burning to cool down before I place the disc in my scanning drive.

The f/w I'm using is 1.09 (liggy & dee's).

Your total PIEs aren't bad, actually quite good, same with jitter. I'm also scanning @ 8x, might want to give it a try. Other than that, you might just need to run a number of those discs through and get your drive taught. Or maybe it's this new phenom II setup I'm running.

 

Here's a little burn. 16X and looking pretty good. Sure wish the iHAP had the LH's skills. And i'll have the iHAS 424 tomorrow. Can't wait to bust its butt LOL!

 

ok i think my 20a4p might have died? not sure. it has the power led on and it flickers tray opens up but if i put a disc in it, it wont do anything?? and it dont show up in my computer, went into device manager and its not there either. ive unpluged it from the ide ribbon and then plugged it back in still not beeing seen. any ideas? im gonna unplug my 7200A and try putting that endinto the 20A4P.

 

Robert.... only a few options that it could be.

BAD cable
BAD ODD
BAD IDE connection (fix or wiggle your cable connection)
BAD IDE controller (mobo or card)

Ways to fix it...

Replace cable, check another ODD to see if present cable is good and the "new" ODD works, wiggle ye cable around to ensure a good connection, try another slot or another computer to check your "suspect" ODD....

HTH buddy......

 

yea i figured as much. not too much it could be.
so here is what ive done.
unpluged my 7220A which was set as master. swapped jumper pins in the 20A4P and made it master worked fine. so i plugged the slave into the 7200A and it didnt work. so i got me another cable/ribbon and shazzam problem cured. so while i had them all out changing things around i put them back in the order they are on the mobo so all letters match up and look right when you click on the correct letter the right drive opens up..lol heres how they set in my tower now.


20A4P=G Drive
7200A=H Drive
7200S=I Drive
7220S=J Drive

finally a issue that was as simple as a bad cable..lol

first burn under new configuration.lol

 

Hallelujah!!! Something that doesn't require a trip to the "repair center" to FIX!!

Good you got it going again Robert.

NICE burn (scan) too!!!

 

You got Chinese drywall?

 

Well...if this weren't a TY disc, it would almost scare me lOL!
iHAP424 burns to come...Gotta go pick it up.

Chinese drywall?

 

Well...I'm officially irritated. The iHAP424 is nothing more than an optiarc. NOT what I wanted. I have 4 Optiarcs dangit<--(coverup for the real thing)
The tray acts like the 7241S, The buffer acts like a typical optiarc, and as you can see (in just a moment), the scanning is NOT like a lite-on. Thoroughly displeased

If I have time, i'll post the LH's scan as well.


Ok, here it is. Much better than the iHAS scan, Err Optiarc scan.

 

What happened to Cdfreaks? Its now MYCE.com

Rob, Gm, aren't you both members.

And according to :
This link
it has the same chipset as my LH-20A1H. Well...if thats true, that could be cool. I guess time will tell. But it sure does act like an optiarc!

 

NO idea about CDF.. haven't been there in about 2 weeks I guess.

ON the SAME chip... I'd make dang sure... it may be the same maker/manufacturer but I seriously doubt it's based on the SAME chip.
