I've never had a picture in my sig ddp , just my system specs! This is as I do not know how to do it!! Is your memory failing you as well as your ocular facilities?!!!!!! LOL
i thought you had 1 instead it was geestar's old sig that i thought was your's. http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/105941
See, I told ya!!! first the eyes, then the memory... That's what happens when you become an Addict! Time for rehab! <G>
We call that a hitch hiking gesture in the US... Does that have something to do with a seating arrangement in Canada?
ever see the movie called grey lady down? about a us nuke sub rammed & sunk by a freighter by accident off us coast. keith(kung fu) carredine is captain of a mini sub to see if survivors on sunken sunk & does the thumb routine to the captain of the rescue surface sub as an insult! so thumb vertical & rotating!!!!
Didn't see the movie since I never was a big Carredine fan. But if it's an insult you want to bestow on me for just taking fun jabs at you, then I'll leave it at face value and accept the insult.
not meaning it as an insult as can't do the rasberry over the net without showering the monitor & the captain of the rescue ship wasn't pissed at the other captain
Glad to hear that! So now everytime I see someone hitch hiking, I'm gonna think that they are giving me a sign of the wrong kind! <G>
to get back on topic, i would have thought that with the price of say a cdrw-dvd rom drive compared to a 16x multi format burner, you would be better off just buying 2 good quality burners for $15-30 more
dont know about ripping faster as most dvd burners are read locked to 2x (get a hacked firmware to unlock) but the theory that you get a dvd-rom to save wear and tear on your burner was started back when dvd burners cost $500+ and roms were around $70 so it made sense. Now days the difference in price is a lot less
Instead of one for cpu you might consider DVD player for you TV. I use a cheap Apex AD 1225 ,which I bought at Sears for $30 and got a $10 rebate so I paid $20 and althou it is cheap it reads everything even compressed DVD copys.Most expensive DVD do not do well reading compressed. I have noticed the bigger the movie the more you have to compress it to fit on smaller DVD disk and will cause minor flicker. I know of no DVD rom for CPU that can do same as Apex unless of coarse Apex makes one for CPU. ascheri
scubabud thats a programme read speed, if you set it to max but your drive is locked to 2x, thats all its going to read at (firmware related). The same way that max isnt going to suddenly allow it to read above 16x, its the drives capabilities that count. If you set it to max and your drive is unlocked or never was, it will read as fast as possible Anything a cheap Apex standalone can do, a internal drive can do better (what do you think puts those movies onto disc, encodes the divx etc to disc to allow your standalone to use it)
deadcat You obviously haven't tried it yet or it doesn’t work on your Burner. Lightning_UK wrote that special for his 3 Plextors. It does work with my Asus, (really an NEC because of it’s chips,) along with other burners. Notice the Read Rates in the captured pictures below: I have two units, one took (rounding up) 21 minutes and the other (rounding up) took 14 minutes. The movie is Shall We Dance which has 26 files and is 6.57 GB. Both of these units are in the same PC. If they are both locked at 2x then how could this be?
It works for my PX-708A Tetsuo: The Ironman/SL @ 3.14GB Start: 3.36X Average: 5.42X End: 7.03X Elapsed Time: 7:25 minutes Seven Samurai Criterion Edition/DL @ 7.58GB Start: 3.37X Average: 6.18X End: 8.13X Elapsed Time: 16:35 minutes
but what are the factory read rates for those drives?? ill admit i leave my A08 on max unless it has difficulties reading but i am yet to see a read locked drive read faster through anything other than a firmware upgrade. Scubabaud asus Neph Plextor and i think this is a more realistic speed Not all drives are locked, not all drives are upgradable or unlockable
