restricted overwrite?.. just means no overburn.

Disk plays fine.. ones burned with nero and XP don't play on my dvd players.. They aren't too bad these disks, but they don't work in many standalone dvd players unless I burn them with the samsung.. you tell me why.

Samsung drive.. cheap and cheerful.. hasn't let me down yet. It's 2 years old now... good £22 spent there.

Suppose you will be wanting the same sort of thing from my old nec ND-3550 with 1Y5 firmware on the kick-ass debian 64 machine next eh?

 

Here's a scan of a Ritek Office Depot F-16 Burned with NeroExpress from a copy on a TY T02+R Btyped DVD-ROM. On the Litey and read by same. Not too shabby. Edit: Burned on the fly @8X Edit: Have they just given up on DRMs, it's become no challenge anymore? We need a new SAW! LMAO

Here is one of my first burns on the new system that greensman and sammorris helped me put together. Props to both. Anyway, burnt with ImgBurn at 4x.



Another one, this time burnt at 6x. Pretty happy with the new Litey Drives.

 

ferguj1
try burning them TY's at 8x. i think you will get great results. you have a good clean new system now, quality burner. you wont have any problem burning them @ 8x. nice looking scans there. they will get better with a few more burns....them litey's have a learning curve so to say..lol


ok guys got a few xvids i need to convert and then burn to disc. gonna use a couple of the ativa disc. -/+r both. i gotta use up this odd ball media i have before im allowed to get the good stuff...lmao

 

You talk about ODD BALL, you look in the mirror lately???

You using ConvertX or Super or something else for those conversions??

Fergie what RedRob said. Honestly you can burn at 8x with no issues on a "clean fast" system and get excellent results!! Try it and see what happens.. EVen with TYG02 media.

OH btw odd ball media can sometimes be a nice little surprise. I've been impressed with the CMC MAG AM3 stuff and don't fear giving it away or burning something for the family on it. NOW the CMC MAG M01 stuff is hit and miss!!!! I've had good results and some not so good. lol. Understatement really. The disc wouldn't play smoothly and would freeze up. lol. POS that disc was, burned another and it was fine. lol.

@GMster,
In my experience years ago, CMC Mag media will burn and play fine for a while, but after a year or so the quality drops off a cliff like the stock market. I'd be curious to see some scans in a year or so from these.

 

im useing convertx. nice program it is.
plus running at 3.8ghz i just converted 3 episodes in 14 mins..lol on the HP that would take 2 1/2 hrs.

i agree with you GM the -r ativa media is pretty good. but these +r's arnt as good... normally when i do xvids like this i put them on these disc. knowing im not gonna have them long.

anyone watch sons of anarchy? pretty cool show. will have some scans shortly

EDIT:
ok funny thing here.im burning the same episode on the same media ativa-r on 3 different drives.7200s,lh-20a1s,sh-s203b.
either this sammy drive(sh-s203b) dont like this media or it is just a resource hog... i was running the scan test and burning with the s203 and it slowed down to a stop and would do anything while i was scanning.. the other drives had no problem burning while i was scanning.

here is a scan from the 7200s took 5:54 to finish disc.
7200S
here is the Liteon it took 6:25 to finish
LH-20A1S scan
and the S203B scan. it took 26:16 to finish.
SH-S203B scan

 

LOL. I forget to scan old discs until gentleman like yourself point out the need to do it for fun if nothing else. I'll scan some in the next day or 2 if the chance arises. Work and house chores are killing my computer time!!

I know thw feeling, been setting up a home network for the kid'd computer and the WII. Now the wifey can browse her bulletin boards while the kids do the homework. Kinda cool to share a printer now.

 

yea love that networking. i need to get a router and go wireless on my HP system for my son in his room. i could just use my dsl modem now but i dont want a line running across the floor down the hall to his room...lol

getting ready to do the +r ativa disc now.

 

@blivetNC

I got curious and pulled out my very first CMC MAG disc. Done 10 Nov 04 when I didn;t know $hit about dvd backing up. It was done on a 4X TDK 440N at4X using DVDXCopy Xpress. On a 2.26 pentium 4pc with 256mg memory. I am confident it will play fine now. I was surprised how well it has survived.

Garmoon I didn't have the same luck with the Fujifilm DVDs i bought when i started backing up DVDs .They coded out as prodisc i haven't touched them since

 

Actually ZOSO, I thought, since you got a TDK drive, why not use their media. The tdk dvds were TYs. Then I bought some Verbs. Memorexes were ricohjpn and then came the cmc mags. LOL

 

Maybe someone can answer why this scan gives me an 89?





I don't get it! Why are some of hobbit's scores so high with so mant pi errors and so many pi failures. I'm looking at 28,889 for pi errors with a maximum of 22, and 1,004 pi failures with a maximum of 3. I get a score of 89!

The first one he shows of the single layer (from the 23rd) 16x burned at 8x shows 180757 pi errors with a maximum of 101, and 12710 pi failures and a maximum of 12.

How the hell can that rate a 93. Something just doesn't seem right. Maybe a glitch in the software or something. I just can't see a 93 score with all those errors! Not when I am getting many times less errors and getting an 89! Even his error and failure averages are higher than mine! If someone could explain this to me I sure would appreciate it, because to me it makes no sense!

I just went and downloaded the latest version of Nero Disk Speed, Version 4.7.7.15, which allows me to read it in my DVD-Rom drive and I got a 93! Here's the scan:



Same score as hobbit's, but up until it hit about 3.75GB, it only had 148 pi failures at that point and wound up with 1786 pi failures compared to the 12710 his scan shows. For the pi errors I had 117014 to his 180757. That's 50%+ more pi errors and over 7 times as many pi failures! So how do they rate the same score?

Respectfully,
Russ

 

LOL.

The age old question. Ok.. this will take a few seconds... I would almost ignore the QS and worry more about the Jitter and the highest spike in both PIE's and PIF's. I don't like to see anything over 20 in PIE and 4 in PIF but that doesn't mean that it will or won't play. The Jitter explains the "stability" of the disc to a point and is just as important as PIF's or even more so if there is some craziness going on with it.

The QS is rated by highest spike NOT total spikes, so therefore the same as Mr. hobbit and his disc. Of course you know that the BENQ and Litey drives use different "scoring" methods so a 95-98 will prolly be about a 96-99 on a BENQ. There's more to it than that but it's a long thread to read. It's boring reading too. lol.
