Post your DISC quality scans here 2

Lol garmoon. I bought every last one of them! Pretty good job here.
As I said, MOVIE FREAK!

 

yea not to far from that 1000 count myself...lol

 

O-man7 are those the CMC MAG 8x DVD-R discs?? I've heard they are tough little buggers to get a good scan from... just hear say tho... never used them myself.

Refresh the GM... which LG did you go with?? Have you burned any discs yet??

....gm

 

The LG GH22NP20. And im not sure if it will happen tonight. Will try very hard, See, Ive also got an add on card, that will increase my ide capabilities. You guys must think me quite the freak, lol. I LOVE experimentation. I must admit though. I believe with the optiarc 7200, I found a winner,
Yes they're 8X datawrites/cmc mag ae1. All of my burners yield similar results too, Just watched "Christmas vacation" last night on one of um, FLAWLESS!

 

Oh he's not alone in that respect. Between the original DVD's I own plus all the ones I've recorded from the cable DVR to my Magnavox standalone DVD recorder I'd guess I have around 2000 or so movies myself. So he's not the only movie freak out there!!

 

Lol bratcher. I can see i have some catching up to do, LOL. The long awaited LG-GH22NP20 burn. Please note that I find it a good rule of thumb to stretch a burners legs first (rip a few dvds/cds). I was simply anxious to get this one going. NOT too bad for its first burn on a verbatim 16X @ 8X! Tomorrow I will run some comparative scanning burning. But im afraid its 2:30am here, and its been a hectic week here I finally have 4 internal burners run PROPERLY. NO usb-ide conversions, VERY good PSU, Oh yeah, its experimentation time. I also ran my iHAP422 to the mobo. Gonna give that puppy one more shot. I seen a new firmware somewhere recently im gonna try, after that... we'll see!

LOL, I know garmoon, another 95... right?

 

Nah! I won't mention it.

 

O-man7 looks like you got you a good 'un, LG burner that is. lol. I have a few LG's and they all burn well enough. I'm curious to see how that chipset does as all of mine are Renasas and I think that one is a Panasonic. linky

edit: for POOR grammar... what else? lol.

 

Thanks for the link. I guess I should have done a little more research. But the determining factor was pretty GOOD reviews on newegg. There was a drive seeing a little better reviews, but this one had free shipping. And I constantly here REALLY good things about LG.

 

I have so many movies that I've stopped recording off of cable for awhile so I can catch up on the ones I haven't seen. Oh BTW nice scan on that last 16x disc you burned at 8x!!

 

well that tears it! All of the drives via ide are SLOW ripping. Im gonna be angry if these new cords are 40 instead of 80 wire. Do they still sell 40?? that'd be pretty dumb! Suppose it'd be my fault though. Gonna check the bios in a minute and see if I can determine whats up there.
Bad spelling

 

make sure you're in DMA mode and not in PIO mode that will cause slow ripping

Its not allowing me to enter advanced settings in device manager(for the add on card anyway). I believe this (standard Dual channel) to be the add on card anyway)

Where as the onboard controller...

Wonderful, miserably failed a burn. I stopped it when it wouldnt exceed 0.8X! Couldnt find settings in the bios either. Should be loads of fun!
Sorry about Off topic guys. I'll get this worked out.

 

check your cables Omegaman. i had the same problem.. swapped out the cables and everything was golden again..

got a nice burn here. burnt on the 7200A scanned on my litey.

 

Ordinarily, I would try that first, but... I got 2 identical ide round cables(bought separate)with my add on card. The other is ran to my LG and iHAP422 Via MOBO ide controller. They perform 100% so far. Surely my luck isnt THAT bad! I dont take coincidences lightly. REALLY leaning toward card setup, or card malfunction. But since im unable to effect DMA mode, I really believe that has something to do with it. Perhaps my bios needs an upgrade???

 

O-man7 I'm not the best when it comes to IDE cards as I only have one and it works fine. Anyway... you might un-install the card in question, remove the card and then restart your machine and make sure it's NOT seen any longer, then re-install the card, NO device hooked up and then install software and restart again.. THEN hook your devices up after shutting down again... I know it seems like a lot of work but it might do the trick. Of course it could be the cable, but NOT likely. I would lean toward faulty software or a BIOS incompatibility.

I hope some of that makes sense.

Dude, which card, and are dvd drives ran to it?
LOL, sorry to be so forward. Im having a REALLY bad time with this SOB! If I could just enter its own bios, then I might get somewhere. I'll tell you something right now. I will NOT buy another startech device!!!

 

The card that is giving you fits. If both are then do that for each card. You need to go to the MSI website and see about a BIOS flash... BUT BE VERY CAREFUL flashing your BIOS!!! I can't be more serious here, you can FUBAR your mobo in about 30 seconds if you do something wrong. If you've done it before then you know the risk you take. Whatever path you take, GOOD luck.

LOL. Flashing is the one thing that makes me nervous and intimidated. Now if I had another one of these boards and a FDD, then I might attempt it. You guys ever use the LIVE update? I must admit though, really leaning at the card on this one. Supposedly the card has its own bios, and I havnt the foggiest idea how to enter it!
