[chewy's crash course]

thanks luk,

I might rescan, I left the disk in the drive for all three scans but did upgrade the program after the second scan

 

btw this swisstech(sky) media isn't that bad, hopefully a good sign for media from europe

[chewy's crash course]

3 scans all showed the high pif max, which only showed at the very end, pulled a 96 until then.

I am attempting to duplicate a media burn test with discovery mode and imgburn and dvdinfo, I have found an anomaly, after three scans I keep getting an invisible peak in PIF at the very edge of the disk, transfer test and scan with cdspeed do not confirm. Has anyone else ever experienced such behavior.

[Totally different scans: same disc]

you are graphing both read errors and burn errors, the goal is to set a slow enough scan speed to minimize the read errors, not an exact science at all, just an attempt at it

 

repeat the pioneer scan at a much slower speed and see if you obtain different results

["Deadwood" esta muerto]

durn, the pigs will starve

[Copy scans better than pressed disk]

Your blank media is obviously better quality then the original media !!

 

 

works for dvd's also

[Best scan ever]

jitter went all to hell on the T02 burn, the same place PIE's went off the chart, I suspect extraterrestrial influence or circles in the corn field

[is it possible?]

if your system is 'up to it' you can run 2 instances of imgburn simultaniously

 

awfully hard getting the four windows tiled right tho

[Best scan ever]

what's the source for the T02's

brand name?

too many models were called 640c

 

I would crossflash to benq myself so I could scan

[Totally different scans: same disc]

also at maximum read speed in a scan are you graphing burn errors or read errors?

[Old media?]

and/or hardware issues like old worn out burners, trying to rebuild my

first nec 3520 after getting it back from my son.

damn thing has 270 PIF clumps at 4.2 gigs

something's obviously wrong, where's the 8x burn speed?

 

firmware should have been the first order of business

[Burning slower is burning better]

Obviously, slowing down increases quality as far as the DIP scanner is concerned. By almost 13% overall.

 

I would say by 1000%

[Verify failure]

I think Chewy is referrng to the scan speed under DVDinfoPro etc Not the verify speed of ImgBurn Groundrush.....

 

sharp as a tack you are

[Old media?]

Construction of New Factory Wing in That?s Fukushima Co., Ltd. to Increase Monthly Production
Capacity of DVD-R & DVD+R Media Taiyo Yuden is building a new factory wing at That?s Fukushima
Co., Ltd., a subsidiary involved in the production of recordable media (due to commence operations
in October 2004). With the new wing, we will double the monthly production capacity of DVD-R and DVD+R media to 40 million disks by the end of this term. We will also improve the productivity of CD-R and increase monthly production to 70 million disks, partly by replacing the existing equipment with state-of-the-art models. Taiyo Yuden?s optical media are de facto standards and second to none in terms of quality, and we will provide customers with them based on greater supply capabilities.

 

value packaging and marketing maybe but I have as yet to see any quality difference

[Burning slower is burning better]

Assuming the data on the archival dvd's is important, playability is not my prime concern. Will it rip back to the hard drive in most readers at full speed? Or in my case, copy on the fly at 8x? This standard is very practical and scanning is a valuable tool. A hypothetical example, idiot brother in law or step son comes for extended visit wanting to access your database.

[Verify failure]

I wonder what scanning at 4x or 8x would yield?

 

The bad burn was possibly caused by multitasking or possibly wasn't bad, just the verify failed for the same reason?

[PIPO Scan of RITEKF1 with BenQ 1640]

bad media spread over the whole disk and pie/f's increasing where

the 14-16x speeds would hit.

[PIPO Scan of RITEKF1 with BenQ 1640]

I never burn anything faster than 8X

 

sure looked like a 12 or 16x burn, sorry, my memorex G05's

were pretty inconsistent, most scanned 0 after a year or two,

one or two still scan low 90's.

[PIPO Scan of RITEKF1 with BenQ 1640]

reburn at 8x and scan, memorex wouldn't spec the best quality,

might even be from a different plant

[Benq 1620 with B7V9_speedpatched]

will this be on the fly or a seperate operation?
