OK, couple of new scans of Ricohjpn D01-067 Glossys. Dual scans of same disc, one after another. Same scan, same drive. Burned & scanned with Lite-on LH-20A1H. First Scan. Second Scan. Oops! Forgot to say that this disc played fine on my stand-a-lone. 70% scan on the first run, 84% on the 2nd. I ran a 3rd and it was in between the first 2 (a 78%). Showing all that everything isn't copestetic with me with these discs. I was told by my supplier that I should burn these discs with my newest drive with it's newest f/w. He implied that an older drive with newest firmware won't burn these well. My results agree with his recommendation. I have a burn with my Lite-On LH-20A1S which I got a 93% score, I will append to this post. Here's the 2nd disc, burned @ 4x w/Lite-On LH20A1S, scanned @ 4x: Scan. @greensman, Still fighting the new build issue. Think its now an install issue. Kisses
Here are mine from my Vista desktop. I have 2 burners: a Lite-On LH-20A and Sony DRU-830A. These were done at 8x. I'll post a couple from the XP machine later.
Not that bad of scans for the SD21 sony's 16x. havent seen many scans of those lately... i wouldnt think THE OS would make much difference on the burn would it? other than maybe vista not allowing some of the encryption software work properly....??? i honestly dont know just what i have heard about vista... i got a couple 8x+r hub printable MIJ maxells that i got form some body???? pretty dog gone good burns.. and 1 16x-r silver printable TY i got from some one else... man i love these friends of mine that keep me in stock..lol Thank you all. didnt get to good of a scan on the TY. right in the middle i got a big spike to 6 or 7. think its cause i turned on the internet..lol thats a nono..lol will post the scans later tonight when im outta work place.
i couldn't live without one , running multiple burners and posting on aD/surfing the web running scans etc. at the same time it great
hey Z, Does running multiple burners slow down your system? If not, how do you have that set up? Thx, Wy
nope doesn't seem to. I'm using three sata drives and heres my PC specs. Antec Nine Hundred Mid-Tower Gaming Case/Thermaltake 750-Watt PS/ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe MB Socket 939/ Seagate160GB Barracuda Sata/ Westeren Digital Raptor 150 GB Sata/NVIDIA GeForce 7950 GX2,1 GB of GDDR3 Memory / CORSAIR XMS 2GB DDR SDRAM (PC 3500)/AMD Opteron 185 Dual Core CPU OC(ed) to 2.87 GHz/Zalman CNPS-9500 LED Cooler/3-Plextor PX-810 SA Sata Drives/View Sonic-VX2245wm 22" Widescreen 1680x1050 res. 5ms Respone Time

Things have been a little slow lately. I'll try to "jump-start" this thread with a little scan or two. Pioneer DVR 112L 8.06 burned with Nero ROM (dual burn with LG) @ 4X (compatible speed for both drives) TYG02 silver shiny top stat scan LG GSA-H62N CL01 Same engine and MID as Pioneer stat scan Lite-On LH-20A1S IMGBURN @8X TYG02 stat scan I know the first 2 look familiar as far as drives go and they are but I got these as "open box" deals from the EGG. Big discount btw. Yeah!!! btw they work like a champ as you can see. Just wanted to post a scan of a burn by the LH-20A1S for my buddy ZoSo. ....gm
greensman is right, it has been a little slow in this thread. So here are several scans to liven things up abit, I hope! First off, here are several RicohJpn D01 067 glossys (is it "glossys" or "glossies"?), all burned on Samsung 203B @ 4x with KC modded SB01 f/w. All scans @ 4x also: Link: Liteon 20A1H Scan. Link Same disc, Samsung 203B scan Started to think something funky was going on after this burn: Link Liteon 20A1H Scan Link Thinking more strongly something funky going on. Link Again, something is going on. Decided to clean my burners. Last cleaned them on Nov. 1st. (fyi, I live in an old house (1921) and it gets dusty quickly.) Aaah! Much better! Link I can live with more of these! Link. Here's a change of pace. A Verb 8x -R. Burned @ 4x on Samsung 203B with a 4x Scan on a Liteon 20A1H: Linky.
Well, there are at least 3 ways. The first, simplest, is to buy a cd/dvd Cleaning disc. It's a cd/dvd with little brushes on the underside which gently brush the laser lens while playing. I have a couple of them(they do wear out), one of which is called a Memorex CD/DVD OptiDisc. The second is to get a can of compressed air and blow it out. This rearranges the dust, with the hope that most blows out the slot. The third is to gently clean the laser lens with a qtip with alcohol. The first 2 are what are generally recommended because with the 3rd there is the posibility that you can leave a residue and/or damage the lens(it is a "floating" lens, you could accidentally "fixate" it, or worse). This help? Edited to correct english
OMG! Chi-town! Hey newtechie, we're almost neighbors! Go west about 8 hrs on I-80 & you're at my town!
Yes it does. I think I'll stick to number 1 and 2. I'll assume when trying #2 that the cd tray has to be open. Is that correct?
Yep, correct sir. Got to do some more burns. I've been putting it off for far to long. lol. Bought 8 new movies on Black Friday. lol. YES I was one of the silly buggers out there Friday buying CRAP I really don't need. hehehe. Got a 320 GB Seagate Sata for $60 and 3 new ODD's online for about $25 each. Yeah!!! Gotta love good deals. How many ODD's is that now Rob?? LOL..... ....gm
@gm, Oh you silly boy! Better you than me! I was able to resist tempation for now, but there was a terabyte SATA HD REALLY tempting me(in addition to a couple of OODs)! Don't have that many connections left, unless I install a card! ;D
