Post your DISC quality scans here 2

Got a few 20x burns here. :0

iHAS120 7LOF patched-eoht (C0deKing altered of course)

TYG03
imgburn 20x


CMC MAG AM3
Nero Create Disc 20x


CMC MAG AM3
imgburn 20x


just some fun had by me and the iHAS120. I normally like to burn at 8x or even 12x with no issues with the outcome at those speeds.

wow, thats unusual for TY, HUH. 25 failures? WOW.

Im impressed cincyrob. It only took it 3min 20 sec longer than it should have. Your buffers must have been pretty strong. I only burned 2 recently and took much longer than that. Though my drives are fragmented from all the simultaneous ripping ive been doing

 

Yeh it's what I thought too. I will say this batch of TYG03 discs are from the first batch that were produced afaik. I'm gonna do a couple more of the 20x burns with MCC 004 media and see what happens. Until tomorrow.

Some people may find this interesting. Both of these discs had visable flaws in the shield protecting the dye. I always blow my discs off and visually inspect them. When something didnt blow away, I about through it in the trash but I thought, well thats pretty small, lets see what happens. The top one I marked an area where the flaw in the shield was ROUGHLY. The bottom one, one of the best scans ive seen had multiple spots on the shield. Both of these discs were on the bottom of the cake package. Though they were in a tapewrap for shipment. Well... I guess even before burning there can be flaws/scratches! I LOVE YOU TY

 

Omegaman
very nice looking scans. gotta love them TY's.you say the disc have some DYE spots on the disc. try a scandisc on it in nero. it will tell you if the spots are bad enough to have any read errors.

GM
you sure you didnt have those scans backwards??? a c-mag haven TY scores and a TY haven c-mag scores????lol

ok here comes the scans of the 4 burner burn.i used some of hte last of those Office depot ritek F16 disc
LH-18A1P
LH-20A1S
AD7200S
SH-S203B

not to bad for what they are and the method of doing them.

 

Not bad for what they are Robert. I'm not a fan of Ritek but some do well with them. I'll do some more burns and see what I get. Maybe even a multi-burn as well. It's so fun to see 4 spin up at once.

omegaman... you are gonna be a little peeved. lol.

SMS has the same 200 discs for $53.99 delivered with paper sleeves.

go here and see the deal.

Those are valulines. I wanted to give the premiums a shot.
Well... Simultaneous burn #2 yielded only 15sec saved time after complete defrag. Virtually NO FRAGMENTATION! Is it possible that my ram causes this. Does ram come into play while burning? Usually I buy kingston, or crucial, but when I built this badboy, Gskill was looking pretty tempting. I have 2gb worth of 6400. Any suggestions?

 

omegaman I don't think that your RAM could be holding you back like you think. What exactly do you want to do and why? NOT being a smarty pants here, trying to find out where you're coming from. I personally have Crucial, Mushkin, OCZ, and some other "no name" stuff. lol. PNY and Centon to be exact. lol. None of it is bad some I'm happy. I wouldn't have any issues recommending OCZ, Mushkin, Corsair, or Kingston; but Crucial has given some of my buddies issues so it's off the list. Of course G.Skill is ok but again I don't have it.

....gm

oh.. just finished a 4 disc burn. Results to come.

 

Perhaps its some kindof syncing issue. Because if both drives were consistently hitting 8X simultaneously, it wouldnt take 16+ minutes, it would only take 8min26sec give or take. My harddrive wasn't busting its but either. Its a WD FALS 1TB drive. NOT THE GREEN DRIVE. The HD led light was blinking. ordinarily when I burn one disc, its solid red for the duration.

 

Here's the scans of the burns.

I used some MBIPG101 R05 discs. I'm not completely trusting of doing 4 at once to use some quality media. I've done it a few times and nothing has happened that should worry me but I'm NOT loosing 4 discs at once... NO frikkin way. lol.

Used Nero 6.6.0.18 and it chose 6x for some reason. I think it took 16 minutes or so. An average of 1 disc every 4 minutes. Scanned using Nero CD/DVD Speed 7.7.7.16.

HEY YO!!!! 20x burn here with image burn,on a 16xverb.



here it is

 

well now. I bumped the speed down to 6X and it went quicker. Guess my harddrive didnt like 8x double burn. 12min50sec. If im not mistaken, thats only 2min longer than it should be. Buffer underruns
were pretty low, not too many. I wonder if a RAID array would have better luck. I have been itching to build one. Probably go Raid 1 for that killer read speed. Raid 0 just sounds too risky. If I had 4 of these FALS 1tb drives in raid 1... I believe the connection would be maxed out. Any more than that would be pointless. These scans arnt too bad, but I noticed that either the sony burned oddly, or there was a defect in the recording dye. It LOOKS very odd. I may not trust it!


I suppose they're still reasonable scans though.

 

also something interesting. The spike just before the .5gb mark is in exactly the same place on both burns. it was exactly 104 failures in both peaks. INTERESTING HUH???

 

got a 20x burn. got up to 19x.

 

not bad there Robert.

Did a 20x (16x) burn with the iHAS120 again.

Nero discspeed 4.11.4.0
chose 20x but burned at 16x
Ricoh R03

I just ran some searching about the identical pif's, and I guess its simply possible that my batch has some identical dye problems, MORE OR LESS. I certainly hope that NERO didnt cause my Pif's! mmm... Here is something odd if you'll excuse the crudity of this example. Obviously I cant scan the discs dye side, Hmmm... i'll try that.
Ok... I scanned it and i'll post it. here it is. But know this. The outer burned area (Full burn) is actually substantially different than the inner area. Meaning color variation. Its off by SEVERAL TONES! See the ring near the outer area? Thats what has me concerned! The burn quality has already been posted. But just incase its easier, here is it also.

 

you might try taking a photo of the disc in question. I've done that and it works but you may have to snap a few to get the image you're looking for. I think that LOCO and I posted some images a few pages back... I'll if I can find them.

....gm

add: I couldn't find the post so I'll just post them again. Used the url as to not take up more space. lol. These pix show the dye "run" and I didn't even try to use them. I was going to give them a shot but didn't feel like wasting time.

disc 1

disc 2

 

hmmm... ive had discs like those. Im about to post another. Looks like my sony seems to be the only one spitting these out. UHHH OHHH!!!
