ok ive got a few more burns here. once again on a few different type media. i dont know whats going on i hope this drive isnt going out hell it aint even a year old. ive burnt 4 -r TYs and these scans are nasty. one of them i tossed out didnt even think of keeping it. i got my sons the very first season of the simpsons 3 disc set. bruning them onto some silver printable -rTYs these are scarey. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/-rTY-1.png the other 2 look the same i dont under stand this. here is a ricohjpn 16+r printables here same type results http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/ricoh-1.png well this one is a good one. the first one i didnt keep the scan..lol and here is a couple DL riteks on these i burnt and scan'd 1 on my SHW-160P6S and the other on my LH-18A1P things that make ya go Hmmmmmm SHW-160P6S LH-18A1P
i just did another burn and the scan showed that my quality was really bad. i burned the dvd using the same drive that i scaned with, burn was at 4x. using the latest version of nero and dvd shrink. the movie was compressed at 81%. when i did the burn, i did check the deep analysis and set the quality enhancement at default.
wow that scan does look bad. does it play? what speed did you burn it at from the looks of it id say you might have maxed it out. at 16x. was you doing anything online while you were burning? multitasking????
@richpngu What brand are the discs you are using? Could be fakes. Dynex and MediaRange generally are quite inconsistant. From the jags in your read line it apprears your drive is having problems reading the disc. It could also mean that your drive doesn't like that brand of disc, try a different brand, preferably Taiyo Yuden.
There could be a few problems here. I read somewhere that the new version of CDSpeed was having issues but mainly TRT I think. You might jump back a version or two of CDSpeed and see what results you get especially if you have LEGIT media. I'm jumping on the FAKE media bandwagon at this point but w/o more input I really don't know. I've never seen that media burn that poorly with any drive let alone a Lite-On even at HIGH speeds. More info please. lol. Where it was made. Manufacturer ID with DVDInfo or Nero Info tool or DVDIdentifier. Distributer label (who's name is on it) and whatever else you can think of. ....gm
its a verbatim dvd MIT from the same spindle as the one i posted a little earlier in the thread. i set the burn setting on the 4x. i didnt burn at the highest setting at all even though the dvds are rated at a 16x. when i played in the dvd player the picture quality seem perfectly fine, which is odd because the quality score was really low.
richpngu, So they are GENUINE Verb's?? Well it seems you either have an issue with CDSpeed or the drive you have is not reading correctly. ;S Try a burn at 8x, 12x, and 16x to see what happens. Preferably with create disc (means you'll waste 3 discs) or a LARGE iso from your HDD. You'll have to choose the ISO after going thru the menu for create disc. ...gm
see right there goes to show ya you cant totaly believe what these scans tell ya...lol playback is the main thing if it plays good for you then your good to go. BUT greensman is right there is either something going on with your drive reading the disc before the burn or CD Speed test is doing something funny....to be honest i just got like 4 or 5 burns that looked like that. i did adisc cleanup and defrag and got back to my normal burns. even got 2 98 QS scores been a while since i had a couple of them...maybe try to do a defrag and cleanup on your HDD's it wont hurt only help....
rob the BigTen network is BS man can't watch your local team without paying! my scans are all kickass as of late my Plextor/Pioneer drives are working well and the Lite-On
I'm afraid Mr. Rob is going to get a reality check later on in the season when the NCAA tournament starts, @richpngu, I'd like to echo the comments made by previous posters that sometimes the quality score/scan doesn't mean very much when a particular brand of disks plays flawlessly in your particular standalone player. Remember, most dvd players are better able to handle flaws in the disk pressing and smudges, fingerprints and scratches on the surface of the disk. IF you find a combination of media and burn program and burn speed which works for you, then stick with it and post a couple of scans. Also as a footnote, I have one of the first disks I ever burned which has a quality score of Zero, yet still plays without a hitch, go figure. Old Scan
@zoso yea i know they want ya to buy there network to see the games but i didnt miss 1 OSU game this year...lol @blivetNC your so right as long as you find what works for you and your setup you cant really say what is good or bad for another person and there setup... here is a scan on a dvd+rw verbnot bad i dont think for a RW. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/scrnr.png and here is a few other scans ive done . reburnt a few movies for the kiddies. http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/alice.png http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/AVP.png http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i196/Cincrob/TJ2.png
Also probably should be mentioned that not all burners perform equally when scanning. Some are great burners, but not as good as a scanners( not because they are faulty). Same discs can show different scan values, different quality scores when scanned in two different drives.
heres a leason well learend. i got out a couple of the first disc i ever burnt.almost 2 years ago. one of them i put a full sticky cover on and the other just put the inner hub cover on it. the inner hub coveris fine . the scan isnt all that bad the second one with the full sticky cover is the most beautiful thing you would ever see.... inner hub cover BEAUTIFUL yes i still have about 150 movies with covers on them...lol thank god for AD.... and Epson printers and printable media..lol
so its been a while since i been here, i just bought a new computer a couple days ago and it came with a sata optiarc dvd burner and i got me some verbs dl 8x anyways i did a scan a little while ago and i got this for quality i cant tell if its good cause of the Pif's but let me know, what do u recommend for dl imgburn or nero and settings anyways this burn was done in imgburn anyways here it is http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i307/Chris_Munguia/Nero Scans/quality.jpg
yeah ill try 4x on my next burn cause this one was burnt at 6x and well the scan was done at 5x cause for some reason it wont let me choose 4x anyways 1 last thing for layer break what do you recommend?
if your doing a full disc backup use the same layer break as the store bought dvd. if you are just backing up the movie only onto a DL let imgburn set the layer break for you. heres a good read http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=1780
well im backing up the whole dvd but removing fbi warnings, trailers that start when u insert your dvd into the dvd player and thats all
