Maxs' starting to come down.

 

Here's a RICOHJPN D01..

burner: LiteOn LH-18A1P @ 4X
scanner: same drive @ 8X
MID: RICOHJPN D01
IMGBURN 2.3.2.0
Nero CD/DVD speed 4.7.5.0

I coastered 3 of these discs with the Samsung SH-S203B before I went to the LiteON LH-18A1P. I'll try some other drives later but the Sammy HATES the RICOHJPN D01's at 4X or 2.4X. :-( This is the second MID that the Sammy doesn't like. It burns some other MID's like a champ but the RICOHJPN D01 and CMC MAG E01 coaster basically every time. I know they're not known for being good media but I have other drives that will handle the media just fine. NOT great now but at least it will produce something you can watch.

greensman,

Are those the Dynex DLs? The MBIs that I'm posting are also RICOHJPN D01s but have a 67 or 067 after the D01 ident in ImgBurn. Check in ImgBurn for the trailing numbers, I'm curious. I'm burning the MBIs best with my Samsung 203B.

I think there are a couple of sub MIDs for this ident. I seem to remember seeing some D01 001s before and those were bad.

That's what I could find out about the disc. I did both programs just in case.

edit:
I put this disc in my Sony DVP-NS55P and it wouldn't play but it played like a champ in the Mintek DVD-1600. LOL. It burns my arse that a disc won't play in a $80 DVD player and you thro it in a $30 player and here it goes. LOL.

OK with that little rant...

What player has everyone had GOOD luck playing DVD's in?? NOT pressed but all kinds of backups, VCD, Xvid, DVDR 5, DVDR 9, and so on. I guess I should place this in the blank media thread. :S

 

i know what ya mean Greensman about not playing in certain PLayers.

my good pioneer DVD player wont play PAL and some ofther formats
but the cheap $19 COBY players i bought for my boys will play anything..lol

@hobbit
i got one of them richojpn glossies scanning right now will post when done

 

@greensman,

My Pioneer DV-490V plays just about everything though if you start to screw around with the pause, step forward, step back it can get confused. For those with Sony players, here's a link to maybe calibrate your player. If it works, let me know. I don't have a Sony player but my brother does & it won't play burned discs.

Found out I had some of those Ridata 8X DVD+R DL but hadn't tried them. ;D First one went into the trash, Here's the 2nd one. Burned with ImgBurn on Samsung 203B @ 4x.

Here's another MBI 8x DL burned @ 4x with ImgBurn on a Samsung 203B, scanned @ 4x
scan.

Notice the skewed layers? It's like a 63/37 split, which ImgBurn said was the best spot. Plays well though.

 

NOT bad there hobbit.

Burner: Sony/NEC/Optiarc AD-7170S @ 8X
Scanner: LH-18A1P @ 8X
MID: TTH02
IMGBURN 2.3.2.0
Nero CD/DVD Speed 4.7.5.0

Not a bad burn/scan for this media. Just doing some burning with different media and different drives for poo-poo's and ha-ha's. I'm actually pleased with the PIE's and the PIF's are acceptable but not where I'd like to see them.

Hey greensman & all those with Samsung 203Bs.

Did everyone get this update from CDF? Apparently there are 2 versions of the SB01 firmware.Link

 

Thanks hobbit. Just re-downloaded the SB01 file. What's funny is I downloaded it just the other day and re-flashed because I wasn't very happy with the results I was getting. NOW a couple of days later they come out with another version. At least they are updating stuff and not letting it just sit there.

....gm

I'll report later.

 

My samsung burner also hates RICOHJPN D01's, it also only works for me in my liteon burner.

 

Thanks for that. They also seem to have a region free blended version of the SB01 FR,FB LINKY

I'll try the new SB01-2 tho.

 

Several burns of RICOHJPN D01 067 8x DLs here, on 2 different Samsung 203Bs.

Result is that these don't burn well @ 6x but 4x is O.K.

RICOHJPN D01 067 8x DL, 6x Burn, 4x Scan

RICOHJPN D01 067, 8x DL, 4x Burn 4x Scan

These 2 burned on same burner.

RICOHJPN D01 067 8x DL, 6x Burn, 4x Scan

RICOHJPN D01 067 8x DL, 4x Burn, 4x Scan

These 2 burned on different burner.

Oh, firmware on both is ck's original SB01 FR,FB

I think it's time to start stating the sub MIDs of these discs as they do have different write strategies in most firmwares. I have much better sucess with the 067's vs the 002's

 

man I've about had it with nero I'm getting lots better quality scans using IMGBurn and clonedvd 2

 

clonedvd2 is the only thing i burn with. love it. i use imageburn some but clonedvd2 is the best i think.

think its time to go to misty mountains...lol

 

Ok guys I have a problem. I'm trying to run a disc quality scan on my HP Pavilion dv2040us laptop and I get the error "Drive does not support this function". The drive is a Matshita DVD-RAM UJ-850S v1.05 firmware - no other updates available. Does anyone know why it won't let me do a scan? The disc is a Taiyo Yuden DVD+R.

Thanks in advance.

Matshita drives are not able to perform a CD/DVD Speed scan.

 

yours as mine, the HP drives are not supported by nero. so you wont be able to do the disc quality scan with that dvd drive.

 

LMAO!!!

 

Ok thanks for the info cincyrob! I learn something new everyday.
