Post your DISC quality scans here 2

Russ IIRC the ASUS drives aren't really known for scanning. I trust the BENQ's and Litey's for scanning. You should scan at 8x and 4x respectively.

All that assuming you meant the scan speed NOT the burn speed. I've found that most of the newer drives with the newer media a 12x sweet spot for burning. I get some really good results at 16x too. I know, I know every one has been on this DON'T go over 8x and all that crap... BUT with the NEWER tech in both DVDRW's and Media the speed is greatly improved with both. To tell you the truth I haven't burned a disc below 12x the last few months. LOL. I've been getting consistent 95's and it doesn't get much better than that.

Keep asking and we'll keep responding. Hopefully we answer your question.

LOCO
i dont think Russ ment he burnt the disc at thse speeds its the speeds he ran the test at..


Russ
the slower you do the test the closer it is to what your player is gonna read the discwhen your playing it. Id say if you chose the 2x speed it would look even worse(for that disc).
your results there are kinda oppisite from what i get with my litey's the slower i test it the better the results in your case the faster your testing it the better the results.

here is one of the new ritek disc i just got.F16's scaned with the 7200S also burnt with it.
im doing the scan with my litey now.



heres the litey scan @4x doing it again @8x


i dont like these disc at all.

 

Finally accepting your faults!!! It's the FIRST step... hehehe.

RedRob you might try burning those at 16x and see what happens.

....gm

btw I don't like them as well as the Ricoh's either.

 

LOCOENG, GM & Rob,

What the Asus drives are better that than anything else I've used when it comes to reading media, either CD or DVD! They consistently read disks other drives won't. The three pics I posted were all burned at 8x which seems to yield the best results with my 7170A. The scans were run at 10x, 8x and 4x! 10x seems to give the best results scanning, the same score as the 8x, but lower PIFs. PIEs are about the same for 10x and 8x, but at 4x scanning it gets a 0!

Since I can't flash the 7170A with new firmware, I guess I'll burn my disks at 8x from now on. I'd been burning at 12x and the results are not as good as burning at 8x, at least till I can get a 7200A.

Rob,
I don't like the F16s either. The quality goes up and down with the scans like a yo-yo, while the Verbs are consistently 95!

Thanks guys,
Russ

 

Yeh at work buddy. Sorry have to make some money some how... hehehe.

I agree!!! I just love saying that.... lol. Anyway... I'm NO fanboy of RITEK at all... NOT crap media but not as good as RicohJpn, TY, MCC, or some of the CMC MAG stuff I use... Yep... go ahead and fry me for saying that... BUT I've noticed a definite improvement in the CMC MAG stuff or the burners are doing better with it... you take your pick!!

if i may quote the long lost JoeRyan.
its not as much of the media(cmc mag) being bad quality its the drives being more compatible with the media. so looking at it the way JoeRyan has stated, id say the drives are getting better with reading the so called lower grade media.

and another quote, from a 80's song.
"dont know what ya got till its gone"

 

Yep JoeRyan is a smart cookie.

I'm posting a couple from the AD-7200A. I flashed with Liggy's 1.06 f/w and set the DVD+R (all discs) to bitset to DVD-ROM!!! Easy Peasy as Mr. LOCO would say.

IMGBURN @ 12X and you can see the scanner.


burned with PowerDVD (new feature on #7 or something like that.... lol)
12X burn and you can see what scanned it and what speed.

Here's some more.. I NEED to DEFRAG!!! :-(

L@@K at these MID's. A little different and NOT what you guys would consider A list. lol. I like the AM3's from CMC MAG... they're not that bad and the Jitter seems to be holding up pretty well. I've watched a few of them and NO problems to report as of yet.

Multisession burn


S203B scan
LH-18A1P scan
7200S scan
LH-20A1S scan

all burnt @12x and scanned @6x and scanned on the same drive that burnt it.
4 disc burnt at same time and finished at the same time.

gonna do a real time burn on some quality disc.

 

can you open imageburn 4 different times? and be able to burn?

 

well you can but you have to have 4 different ISO's to burn.cant use the same ISO in all 4 burns. i only have 2 on my hdd's now...just cleaned out some space.84+gb i cleaned out...lol

 

i did try.. it would only let me burn with 1 drive. got a error saying something about image position being used or something like that???

 

YEH!!!! Get to "acquiring" those movies.... hehehe.

Hey speaking of movies... what's out that I need to go buy???

....gm

where's them scans boys???
