  1. More life in SL discs to come as far as I'm concerned...no intentions on moving on to either of the unproven formats and as with the others, I've never been a big fan of the DL hype either.

  2. I hate to sound like an xbox fanboy, but my money would go for the 360 if I were in the market for one. After the first of the year I'm gonna breath new life into my old xbox with a shiney new HDD and put all my music on it as it's already hooked up to the stereo and use it as a jukebox...still being able to play the old reliable games and what not. As for the HD vs. BD war, I'm hoping HD takes the win as all the tricks that $sony tries seem to blow up in their faces.

  3. untick test mode maybe.

     

    Or open up drives and look directly at laser, if you go blind it's working, if you were blind already and now you can see, it's working. :wacko:

    "Power Calibration"

     

    Just to contribute a little bit....power calibration (if you don't already know)

     

    1. Cheap media, you state you typically use TY's so shouldn't be a problem.

    2. Bad power from PSU or bad PSU, check connections and cables and maybe try different ones.

    3. Burner has one foot in grave, replace drive.

     

    Since we assume the media is good and we don't want to buy a new drive if it isn't necessary I would try the connections and cable route...just to rule that out as well.

  4. I use ConvertXtoDVD to create my DVD files from avi or other formats and then manually burn with Imgburn in build mode. Never faced any problems with file compliance via this method. Alternatly you can use DVD Flick in the same manner as ConvertXtoDVD, but it will create the ISO for you and then simply put the ISO into Imgburn in "write" mode. viola!

     

    But of course check out the guides, they will prove to be more than helpful.

    Hola

    True but mine was free ( I knicked it) and I can only call the people in the phones phonebook :D

     

    Next time you need to knick one from one of your friends that has a few of your other buddies names already in it. :rolleyes::)

  5. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but those TDK's are rubbish for DL media...

     

    I 18:33:07 Destination Media Type: DVD+R DL (Disc ID: RITEK-D01-01)

     

    I wouldn't spend my money on anything but Verbatim for DL media.

     

    E 18:33:31 Close Track Failed! - Reason: Cannot Write Medium - Incompatible Format

     

    A firmware update may help, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

     

    I 18:33:07 Destination Device: [1:0:0] _NEC DVD_RW ND-3500AG 2.16 (D:) (ATA)

     

    Try 2.88 from here: http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/NEC-ND-3500A/

  6. The Vizio will suit my needs just fine and it's 400-500 dollars cheaper than competing brands of the same size. I've got the original Xbox and don't plan on buying anything newer until my boy gets a little older so I have a few years yet. I also have everything running through a Yamaha receiver and Klipsch speakers.
