Movie Junkie Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 If I only burn DVD5 discs at 4x is there any compelling reason to purchase 16x media as opposed to 8x? I am talking about Verbatim discs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 you may get worse scans at 4x than at 8x on them from the tests i have done anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movie Junkie Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 you may get worse scans at 4x than at 8x on them from the tests i have done anywayAre you saying that if I burn both an 8x and 16x disc at 4x the scan will be better on the 8x disc? If so doesn't that go against the premise that a with slower burn you have less of a chance of problems arising with the burn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornholio7 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 no what i was saying in reply to your subject of 16x discs is, when i have burned them at 4x the scans haven't been as good as those burned at 8x and those burned at 16x havent been as good as those burned at 8x i guess the firmware of a 8x burner would/should compensate for this though, but this is only a guess as i dont have an 8x burner any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movie Junkie Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thanks. Now I understand what you are saying. Have you done any comparing of scans from 8x Verbs burned at 4x and 16x Verbs burned at 8x? If so is there a real difference in the scan quality?
