Here's a double burned disc in NeroBurnRom @16X on a RicohJpn(Office Depot brand) 16X+R disc of an ImgBurn created ISO file from a backup copy done with Nero8 Recode. Not too shabby.

 

Pretty good there LOCO. That Pioneer is a great drive and will perform (with scans at least) a little better at 16x or less. For some reason there are spikes in the middle of Nero scans with the Pioneer's since the 112D if burned over 16x. I'm not sure if some other models do the same thing but it seems that has been an issue for a while.

NOT to bad there RedRob. I see the 7200S is doing just fine and the MCC 004's are the usual.

Russ it seems to be working now.

GM,
This is what I get right now! It's the same message I got the last time I tried to access it!

Vista.... I am not brave enought to go there still fighting with xp at times..

 

AHMEN to that. I wont look at vista with the hubble telescope! Heres some interesting burn comparisons. I think My DRU820 is gone and my 830 is going. Toward the end of my discs it starts to ERROR like crazy. This ones not TOO BAD.
My 820 SHOT is too large for the post but here it is. The score was sooo bad I needed a large SHOT. http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=2ndtyg02bg6.jpg
Yes, Im aware that these burns are nothing to shoot down, but... IM PICKY. I THINK my 820 is suffering from extreme vibration?????

 

omegaman could you give us a little more info? What speed are you burning at and anything else that might help. Ripping progie and such. tia...

The only thing that comes up on the radar is the speed at which you're burning and making sure you have "real" TY's.

Gm, imgburn says its TY, Nero says its TY. Is there some other, FULL PROOF way to KNOW for a fact that a disc IS what it says it is? Oh... I only ever burn at 8x. I read somewhere that 4X isnt always the best choice. Depending on media and burners 4X could actually be considered stupid in some cases. I used dvd decypter up until a few weeks ago. Then I switched to imgburn. I'm IN LOVE WITH IMGBURN! LOL. No, seriously though, its all I ever use. Please believe me when I say I KNOW, that the burner caused the freak 820 scan that I posted. My media always comes from Supermediastore. Seldom ive used meritlines TYG02's. But TYG02's are THE ONLY discs my burner see's. With the exception of my remaining verbatim's. And of course, the industries TY's.

 

Go here and download DVD Identifier 5.0.1. They have it here at AD for download, and it's free. Very simple and easy to use!

You gotta love how creaky always gets the last word in.

 

Never let's us down I say.

omega man I'm 99.99% sure you have the real thing and if they're fake you wouldn't have that good of a burn. As it seems you are having drive issues and another thing to do is try another spindle and see what results those discs might give. There have been cases that the TY brand has an issue but NOT very often.

Go here and see how to determine the origin of your discs.

Some other things to consider is a fresh flash of the f/w or even a cross flash but if the drive is going nothing will bring it back. Laser replacement is a possibility.

If the drive has over 1000 burns then a new drive is in order. If you would like some help choosing we would be happy to do so but I would consider the Sony/NEC/Optiarc AD-7200A/S or a Pioneer 116/216. Of course the Lite-On iHAS120 is a good un too!!!!
