Post your DISC quality scans here 2

Thanks fergie.. I was ignoring him for now.. heehee. NOT really, I just haven't had the time to look that thread up again. Been playing with the new PSP the boy got for his B-day and he's showing me how the Cowboys should play.... ROFL.. He scored 112 points last night and Romo passed for over 1000yds.... Wish it was like that for them in real play.

Anyway... way OT there..

Back to scanning you minions....

As you wish, LOL. This is a burn from the DRU840 at an attempted 20X. Well... looks like ive seen my peak for the usb technology for now. Right when it tried to cross the 20,500kbs threshold 58% (2.5GB), EXTREME buffer underrun!!! Buffer underrun protection my FOOT!!! What do you call this sony? Oh... sorry. I was burning beyond the recommended point right? Yah, ok...
mmmm... or should I say samsung? ehhh... wonder if its even playable. Never had a peak of 20 Pif before. Wow, no matter how hard I try, I cant seem to get those colorful errors/failures! LOL

 

What a waste of a perfectly good Verb 004 disc. You're going in the wrong direction for the Nirvana burn score. LOL

Just out curiosity, what are time differences for 8X, 16X and 20X burns?? I normally burn discs I keep on good media @ 8X. The ones I give away, I burn @16X on the fly in Nero Express.

 

8x @ 8-9 minutes
16x @ 5.5-6.5 minutes
20x @ 4.5-5.5 minutes

It takes most drives a while to spin up to full speed then it's possible they may drop back down to save the disc and the burn. I still burn most of mine at 8x, while I could go 12x w/o any problems I don't want to set it each time so the lazy GM just leaves it at 8x and is happy.

8X 8:10 (FULL FULL DISC)
16X 5:37 (FULL FULL DISC)
20X was about 4.5 minutes on my liteon. My opti doesnt wanna burn these verbatims at 20X, it does however give me an 18X option. Pointless, unless for experimentation. 2X would probably only save me 10-20 sec.
Here is an optiarc 7200 burn at 16X. I suppose a TY -R could hold 5-6 more MB's. I dont usually utilize the FULL disc though. Unless its a data backup that REALLY needs those extra MB's and is gonna be stored in a nice case!

Please note that burn times vary between burners. The difference between all of my burners is more than marginal. My optiarc is the fastest. FASTEST ive seen as a matter of fact.

what the heck are you doing to get such low PIE's that is unreal how low of PIE's you get on your burns.???

 

Gotta love verbs. I'll edit my signature today, to include my build. But I believe my build to be little to nothing to do with my burn quality
1. I ALWAYS blow the discs off
2. I never handle/touch the recording side
3. I pray before every burn, LOL. Obviously kidding.
Nah, Just lucky, and good burners I guess. Im sure people are curious of my complete build, will post SOOOON.

 

ABOUT O-man's build... it's prolly some POS AMD build.... heheheheheehehehehehehe..... Mwuahahahahahahahaaaaa. Well at least I'm LOLing.... OF course I may be talking about my computer....

LOL. Im aware of advantages of quad cores. When I stated before about pentium/intel processors, I simply noted about older models being less streamlined than my amd 1.4ghz. Now im sure (didnt get to run tests) that there processing strength would put my amd (1.4) to shame. Ive never actually owned an intel. I will not knock them too hard. Its like chevy and ford. Im a chevy man. Though I own a pontiac. One thing about my amd 1.4 was that its FSbus was clocked higher than the intels. It was clocking 133 where the quicker intels were clocking 100. Perhaps that had something to do with it. Though my bro's dell 2.6 pentium, clocked at 133 REALLY bottlenecked. Though that could be simply due to the DELL build. Im pretty new when it comes to the technical side of processors, ram, FSbus speed, etc. Building is one thing, understanding is entirely another story.
Oh... another thing is I ONLY burn from a dedicated drive. My TB Fals drive. FREAK of technology! I can virtually do anything while its burning so long as I dont access that drive. Have once though and it didnt seem to bother it.

 

There, Hows that? Yes, I upgraded PSU from the 430W thermaltake. The single rail simply wasnt enough.

 

@creaky

And you'll notice he got another 95 on that last burn post. LOL

@gm

thanks for the times. That's about the same for my Dell dual core.

 

Hey rob, garmoon. Whats this do for you

Ive had these in excess of 1000 pie as well. Still played in the dvd player. Avg PiE was around 800 or so.
I have an LG burner arriving today. WEATHER permitting of course. I will submit some scans at some point over the next 24 hrs.
Also an ide controller card, YEAH. I really wish that the mobo manufacturers hadnt stiffed people with there lack of ide ports on the cutting edge boards. Hard to find a GOOD board with more than one ide channel. Dont get me wrong. I havnt had ANY sata problems with my HDD's, and am very anxious to play with burners on a sata connection. But my current board only has 2, and one ide. I know... SUCKS! I will NOT jump into another build.

 

another 95 here....lmao
this is a big movie here. Narnia Prince Caspian.
this is movie and menu only. on the fly disc 2 disc with clonedvd2 & anydvd.
burnt on the 7200A @8x scanned on the LH-20A1S @4x

 

Nero grades on the curve- everyone gets a pass and a 95! LMFAO

 

I change my dvd labels rob. Why, Because both I can as well as for my media center in the not so distant future. I would love to consolidate my discs to... well... here you go.

I cant wait for the ideal "SSD" to be released. I suppose a 10TB or or Petabyte drive would suffice.

 

what are ya gonna put on 10TB's of space?????lol
you working for NASA or something..lmao

 

Man, My collection is rapidly approaching 1000. Yes, I am a movie FREAK!

 

Probably not something you want to brag about in this forum.
