@gm, I agree with garmoon, that sucka should play well with nary a glitch. As you burn more your total PIFs should continue to drop. btw, did those 'samples' I sent you play?
Yes, I have a place I go in town for my disc buffing needs Supposedly the contraption costs 2-$3,000. I wanted one for myself, but at that price, it ain't happening LOL! I've seen cheaper imitation models on ebay going for 30+ dollars. But you do get what you pay for...
Hey all, long time listener-first time caller, I assume this would be the best place to ask. My old reliable Benqs 1640&50 wouldnt read a disc that a lite-on in my kids machine didnt have a problem with. Whats the favorite DVD/CD +RW out there now preferably IDE interface. Booktype to DVD-ROM is must also. If I knew i would only use this as a reader I'd ask about DVD-ROM but I will wish I bought a burner as soon as I buy a ROM if you know what I mean.
as omegaman says ....Well...my LH20A1H is gonna remain "the reigning champion." This is an IDE interface. If you can find this older one you'll get a good reader. I'm using the SATA version as my reader and burning with Optiarc 7240S But will not hesitate to burn with the LH 20A1S. Both above can book type with correct firmware.
indeed. It's pretty rare that the LH-20A1H has trouble reading discs. Very awesome burner/reader. Never a coaster either. Fairly difficult to find online...
What do you suppose causes a burner to degrade in reading capability? My Sony DRU820 use to be a favored reader as well. But I stored it a while back, and recently went to use it, and its having trouble reading a measly C-D! I suppose it could benefit from a laser cleaning. But is that the only factor for that kind of degradation?
Nero DiscSpeed 5 ver 5.4.13.0 on behalf of Nero 9 ver 9.4.26.0 OS Windows 7 x64 Ultimate I didn't have a blank disc offhand to perform a CreateDisc
These discs just plain suck lately. But at least the LH-20A1S is learning it, and burning it better than the other burners LOL! learning and burning *chuckles* LH-20A1S 12X Ω
Regulators Mount Up i love that..lol OM7 i havent had any of the MCC004's in a while so i have none that ihave gotten localy to compare with for you. ive been useing theses MCC003's and loven them. im gonna try and get another 100 today from microcenter they are down to there last case of them so i hope there is some there today.. speaking of said disc here is one i just did. burnt on my 20A4P @8x scanned @4x. cant ask for much more than that..lol
Not too bad for an MCC 004 New batch by the way. Although I bought 2 at one time. If I were to buy more at this point, they'd probably be significantly different. At least I hope so
And now, the very reason for my living, the reason I was born. Ok, perhaps not Nah, just picked up a BD-Rom Combo drive at the egg. Can't wait to try her out. A little irritated that they were out of their cheaper stock, but I guess I wasn't surprised. Yes, I was lazy and didn't take a pic. LOL! Perhaps some screenies to come though. Lite-on ihes108-29
nice Oman, but I can't justify the cost of a BR blank on enough movies that I might want to watch in HD. And I don't watch movies on my 23" HD monitor.
OM7 i was looking at that one also. im wanting to mess with BR but havent made up my mind. with that drive can you rip BRD or will it just play the BR movies? im wanting to rip the BR movies and run them through dvdrebuild(BRreb) and put them on reg disc.im just wondering if you have to have the BR burner in order to rip the BR files to hdd???? oh yea i forgot. here is a classic jown wayne flick. the fighting kentuckian.
I had a bit of spare money laying around LOL! Besides, I can think of a few screenshots/wallpapers I'd like to still from a few movies in HD Perhaps i'll help in driving down the cost... Rob, if a drive can read, it can rip/copy/backup. It however cannot burn BD discs. I didn't wanna spend that much yet! First I wanna play with other aspects
I figured it was just a reader. :0 NO one here is CRAZY enough yet to try that stuff.. well hobbit might have... he's a little more "BALLZY" than some of us.
I was close to buying the burner. In fact in only a few months (Maybe less) I'll take the plunge. I wonder when Taiyo Yuden is gonna release BD discs...I imagine they're producing the industries like with Dvd's. Lets just say it's in my best interest to buy one
