Thanks greensman, will do some more research! In the meantime, here's a new TY I just burned. Burned @ 16x on the LH-20A1HX (external). http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/Incrediblesa20h116xTY16xburn.png This was going good until the last 1/2 gig, then it went to pot. Didn't do a jitter test but this drive runs high also.
last scan for a while.. my aunt just passed away. just comeing here right now to ease my mind.... http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/LITE-ON_DVDRW_LH-18A1P_GL0J_01-Augu.png
cincyrob, I want to extend my condolences for the loss you recently experienced. If there's anything that I can do let me know. Good luck to you and our prayers go out to you and your family. ...gm
Thanks greensman. i appreciate it. heres a scan of a 16+r ricohjpn http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/ricoh.png
Here's a couple of new ones for me. Both burned on my external Litey (LH-20A1HX). Both ar TYs burned at 12x with ImgBurn. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/30020a1hx12xTY.png http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/Talledaga20a1hx12xTY.png Interesting thing is that the first one was burned with a VIDEO_TS folder while the second was burned with an image file. I didn't think there should be a difference in burn quality depending on what you're burning but maybe there is.
Here's a couple of new scans, 1 DVD+R TY & 1 DVD+R DL Verb. I'm finding out that these Verb DLs burn better @ 4X vs 2.4x. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/Maninthemoon20a1hTY12xBurn.png http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/25thHour20a1hVerb4xburn.png
got a couple scans here on MCC004 verbs burnt at 12x's scan'd @ 4x.then also scan'd the same disc with dvdinfo pro http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/4x.png http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/mydvd1.png

Gettin my nerve up to try a DL disc!!! Maybe tonight... ....gm btw, NICE scans everybody.... edit: oops, changed to indicate TYG02 not MCC 02RG20....sorry
some nice looking scans there greensman..but the one you said is the MCC 02RG20, the scan says its a TY...lol kinda odd with the LH-18A1P since these last 2 FW updates i havent gotten a 98 score. granted om able to burn all disc now. but no 98's lol
Yeh I haven't gotten a 98 yet either but the burning seems to be going better with the new update. I've been real impressed with the low PIE's on some of this media, especially the MCC 003. You getting the same results cincyrob?? Didn't get the DL burn last night but gonna try tonight I think. I've never done one so it's about time. ....gm
@greensman, If those DLs are anything other than Verbs, I'd recommend not burning faster than 2.4x! It'll be interesting to see how your burners handle the layer break (and if your jitter scan can get past it also!) Have pretty much given up on lowering jitter on my Liteys. Tried a slower burn (had read to burn slower to reduce) with no improvement. ;( @All, 98s???? I can't remember ever getting a scan higher than a 95(except on my Benq)!
yes i agree the pie's and pif's are lower..plus ive noticed. maybe just be me but when i burn on the fly my pie's&pif's are lower to. when i rip to my hdd and burn from there they seem to be twice as many PIE's
Had to add these for the people that know and don't know. MCC 02RG20 recorded with MTK 1818 at 8X. scan of MCC 02RG20 CMC MAG M01 recorded with same drive at 8X scan of CMC MAG NOW if you people that defend CMC MAG media can't tell the difference between these 2 discs then keep using that crap!!!! I did the same thing on both media and didn't touch the computer when it was burning. ...gm
First scan of a disc burned by the LH-20A1S...TYG03 burned at 12X LH-20A1S scan LH-18A1P scan both of these were burned at 12X and scanned with the drive that burned.... ....gm
shucky darns im at work and cant see them scans...gotta get around these blocks...lol burnt at 12x huh??? new 20x sata drive give ya the big kahuna's...lol
Already had BIG Kahuna's....lol. I've been experimenting with the faster burns and I'm not getting that different of burns to tell you the truth. Comparing 8X to 12X burns on certain media. I've done a few 8X discs at 12X and they come out alright. LOL. I even tried a 8X disc at 16X and it went to about 12.5X and then backed down to 6X for a finish. Scanned the disc and it came out OK with a 93 score and PIE's not to bad. If I can find the scan I'll post it. I'll see what I can do about getting you the scans since you are hog-tied. hehehe. ....gm
@gm, so it's a REALLY big deal when your wife busts them???....lol Here's a couple of new ones, a 4x burned Verb DL & 2 Yuden 03, 1 off my external Litey & 1 from my internal one. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/BreakingtheWaves20a1h4xVerb.png http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/Woodstock120a1hx12xburnTY.png http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s102/hobbit112/Woodstock220a1h12xBurnTY.png I'm finding the Verb DLs are burning better @ 4x vs. 2.4x. Maybe one of these days I'll give it a shot @ 6x. The 16x TYs burn best for me @ 12x, a better "sweet spot" then @ 8x. Have also tried them @ 14x, 16x, 18x & 20x. Still get decent results but 12x is the best.
nice scans there guys... think i gotta break down and get me some DL verbs +r's of course...lol i think the 20x Scan looks better than the 18x Greensman... here is a scan i did this morning useing nero to convert PAL to NTSC then used clonedvd2 to burn with..used a 16x+r Verb http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/o13.png here is a 8x-r TY thanks buddy... http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/meet.png
