Post your DISC quality scans here 2

Scott, Chas, BITE ME!~

you gotta use that convertx on the new build and see how fast you get it done compaired to the old build...
gonna try one myself tonight when i get home tonight....

was looking at the egg they got a lite-on 16x sata burner 24.99 + 4.99 s/h

LH-16A1S

wonder if its as good as the SHW-160P6S??

 

Lemme do some looking rob. I think that LH-16A1S can be flashed to a LH-20A1S. I'll also see what kinda deals I can find for you. Heck I might even have an extra drive laying around.

...gm

 

well im done here. going home to fire up the big red machine...(actualy its still blue) do a couple burns encode a few movies convert some avis all while surfing the net and talking to my good pals here at AD...lmao

cant wait to use convertx and see what kinda speed i pick up on it.

oh yea going to 3.4ghz greensman ~

 

i think i would spring for the LH-20A1S Rob even though its a few more bucks

 

the LH-20A1S is the one im leaning towards, but i think i might wait and get it. i need a new keyboard and mouse this 1985 stuff im useing right now sucks..lol found a cool setup combo at wally world think its logictech?? $42 wireless mouse and keyboard... the main reason i like it, its al black and has silver trim on it matches the tower i got... yea i know im nuts. gotta have it all match..lol

ok back on topic. once i stop orthos running i got a couple converts im gonna do and try a few 18x burns???? big evil grin...lol

 

Hey Robert!!

I really think you should consider one of the Pioneers!!! They perform really well and I've had excellent luck with them, you could even look at the LG 62 series drive. SATA and a pretty good performer as well.

^^^^ for some reason there is a single large spike at the beginning. I normally discount those and the disc seemed to play just fine. Very seldom do I get these spikes with this drive.

Sweet scan Rob,
One quick question, do you notice a difference in quality between CloneDVD2 and DVDRebuilder? I have a 32" TV (Non Hi-Def) and I really can't tell the difference. It takes about 2 1/2 hours to rip, transcode and burn using DVDRebuilder, but only 30 minutes using CloneDVD2/AnyDVD. Any comments?
1.9 Ghz PIV, 1 Gig Ram 20X Litey burner.

 

blivetNC,
I don't think you will see much difference on that size TV UNLESS the source you're "shrinking" is sizable to start with. I have a QUEEN DVD that I like the entire "dvd" but it looks like CRAP without using DVD RB Pro or burning to a DL disc (original source is over 7GB). DVD RB Pro just "shrinks" it better because of the "encoding" that it uses. jm2c I know but that's how I see it.

If you're getting GOOD results with your methods or NOT using/starting with a HUGE file to begin with I don't think you can go wrong using DVDClone2 or one of the other "shrinking" progies out there.

Sorry rob, I hope that I didn't step on ye toes.... ;D

...gm

 

no you didnt Chas..lol
@BlivetNC
i also have a 32in tv not HD or nothing...i cant tell the difference in clone to dvd-reb. i know what ya mean about dvd-reb takeing long. took about 3 hrs on my old system but now 40-50 for a 7+gb movie...

myself clonedvd2 is #1 for me. dot get me wrong dvd-reb is a nice program if you need alot of compression, but 10-20% im useing clonedvd2.

your system sound identical to my HP and the same times.
i did a 4.5gb movie today with clone and it took 14 mins...man i love this C2D

 

anyone know anything about networking? i want to hook up my 2 puters some how....any ideas?

 

NIC card
Wireless router

Ok I'm out of ideas.

...gm

 

no im not meaning with a router so i can use the internet.mostly joing the 2 puters where i can view stuff on the other puter.print from both puters on the same printer ect....

might wanna start another thread or go to pm's on this topic....lol

 

OK, you'll have to do some research or start another thread like you said.

I know there are KVM's that will fit that bill but they're about $100 or so. BUT you won't be able to transfer stuff.

I still think you can set up a "network" with a router and do what you want to. Do some checking.

Back to topic posting.

I've been testing some of the f/w on the drives that I have with the Verbatim Digital Movie DVD-Rs and they seem to perform ok, the drives and the media.

...gm

ag MCC02RG20 burned with Pioneer DVR-112L 8.25
^^^^ I'm still impressed with this drive and how it burns any DVD media.

 

ok im totally amazed now. ive got my 2 puters hooked up with networking. kinda half azz'd(did it myself)
ive Dl'd a avi on my HP system. i open'd the fill on the new build and converted it with convertxtodvd. then i burnt it with clonedvd2 and got this scan. it not a super scan but it is pretty damn good for the original file being on one computer and burnt on another after conversion...lol

NETWORKING

 

Like OMG WOW Robert I'm so impressed lol
