I've been reading a lot of posts lately and people seem to suggest burning movies at lower speeds. I've been burning at 16X for a week or two and havent really encountered a problem with the playback. I can understand the reasoning behind the slower speeds but what problems have people had that resulted from burning too fast?
Just to add to bilbo65's post - players may have a problem even playing the disc. They can be picky and burn speed is one factor. One player may playback a 16x burned disc another may not. Then depending on the quality of the media burned at 16x speed (along w/ the drive and firmware) may not be playable or have the problems bilbo65 mentioned sooner than later.
some disks will have poor quality if you burn too slow! The rated speed of the disk (like 8x disks) actually burn better at near the rated speed..... I usually burn at half the rated speed (4x for 8x disks). here is a read: http://www.best16xburn.com/ it's about 16x disks but they talk all about burn speeds and quality, etc.
right now I only use Taiyo Yuden DVD+R, 8x, inkjet hub printables, and silver printables. I just got a lightscribe burner and bought the Verbatim 16x LightScribe DVD+Rs. Like I said ... that article is a good read. Take the info and apply it to your needs. Whether they talk about Verbatim or not... it's a DVD disk. Use the info.
Thats a TY02 (8x) with a speed setting of 8x?? Hey is there infos on how t oread those graph the FAQ isnt helpful..do i need to burna disc to check its quality or can i just put a blank one in.
For myself, burning my Verbatim's (MCC code) at 16X also gives me a 95% Quality score (using the Benq as a reder) for both my LG4167 and Benq1640. Note that not all burners can run the Qualty Test (Benq yes, LG no). CDFreaks reviews are a nice source for finding good media burner matches as they always test major media (at rated speeds) and score it. http://www.cdfreaks.com/article/search/B/
@davidw89 What's the make and model of your burner? That can make a diff to burning at higher speeds and the quality of the burn you get. Keep the firmware up to date also. I burn 8x Taiyo at 8x - sometimes overburn at 12x. Verb 16x - any where from 8x - 12x. For my set up and many different players - no problems. Yes you do need to burn to the disc b/4 running a scan.
@binkie........... what happened to your sig? maybe I should cut my sig altogether! you're starting a fad!
Nah somtimes it 'annoys' me (the blinking bit) Too lazy or have patience to edit it in Flash. More annoying is penner13 throwing this thread screen waaay off @davidw89 How are your burns and or scan coming along?
