Post your Nero cd/dvd speed quality scans here

just ordered the 18x liteon 34.63 shipped should have it by friday no later than saturday, be burning at 18x by saturday evening..lol

 

Bout dang time my friend. You'll love it. And if not I'll give you my address and you can send it my way. lol.

btw I think you did the right thing for now on you computer upgrade (cpu). Also Lp531 made a good point, if you could swing the board and cpu (E6300 core duo) it wouldn't hurt. Don't want to confuse you but I understand his statements too. You gotta do what's right for you at the time tho.

Gettin my new board today (at least I should ) and will post as soon as I can on the new computer burn and scan. yeaaaaahh!!!

@binkie7,
Thanks for your insight and knowledge. Always feel free to add or correct me (if not anybody) if we need it. Yeh I had some questions as to the actual ability of the NEC on scanning. Haven't they made the new ones better for scanning? Just curious not getting one but the other members may want to know.

Sorry to double post!

Where you gonna find media that'll burn at 18X? Just curious. lol.

.....gm

 

the 16x media may over burn at 18x but i would't recommened it

 

thats what i ment to say was to overburn at 18x.. heck verbs are cheap right now i can play around with a few and see what i get..lol

 

People have done it and got results like any other burn.

 

been slow in here lately.. i got a few scans for us.. been useing some TY's and the scans are getting better as for my drive learning them. this one burnt at 8x...pretty good scan actually my best one with TY media on my liteon..

 

redid Sasquatch. burnt at 16x on a 16x+r verb. first pic is of clonedvd showing speed.


heres the scan of the movie. a little high PIE's but loe PIF's..not bad gonna check it out and see how it plays

 

heres wollywoodland on a 8x+r ty...looked like it was going to be a awsome burn untill the very end.. still good burn drive still learning.

 

did it again on another TY but burned at 6x.had my first 98 until the end again dont know whats up with that.

 

rob try transcoding it with dvd shrink and reduce your target size not burning to the edge of the disc and see if you get a better score

 

My first post to this thread. These new 18A1Ps kick arse even on a six year old first generation P4 (new computer coming in May). Anyway, here it is . . .

 

@aabbccdd

should shrink take a hour and half to do (hollywoodland) with all the quality settings being used? i did keep the menu but still imaged the extras... it went through the analyisis in about 20 mins. but its encoding says it will take a hour and 22 mins. is this normal for a movie over 2 hours long? now remember i got a little celeron d 340 cpu. it is slower than your dream machine..lol

 

@aabbccdd

redid Hollywoodland with dvd shrink took 2hours 23 mins.


turned out great very low PIF's not (6) low but very very nice.. by far my best burn with TY's on the liteon...

gotta wait till tuesday now to get my 18x liteon but i did get my shipping refunded to me from newegg so thats good i guess.

 

yeah thats a little long, check and make sure your drives didn't slip into PIO mode. do that in device manager or use this guide

What did you do to your first burn Karen??! Blimey!

xD

 

@aabbccdd

yea i checked my DMA. everything is fine there primary (HDD)is set foe ultra DMA mode 5
and secondary is set for Ultra DMA mode 4 and Ultra DMA mode 2(both drives)...
thats al good there.. i think its just my CPU and the fact that its a 2+ hour movie with all the best quality settings used. gonna do it again without the advanced quality choosen..

@binkie7... WOW that first scan looked nasty. guess that pioneer dont like nero quality scans...lol same disc different drive.
