11/16/2005 the new chipset driver has usb and agp support and may have to be reloaded after the bios flash damn rocket science

with possible driver issues you may have hit the nail on the head, the registry tweak might help, but what would be causing xp to error out the drive so quickly?

has arrived in masse on your side of the pond. http://www.techfever.co.uk/products.asp?recnumber=3223

I have a lot of issues with the forum software. and the extra http// must have been one of them, lol

do a read test of a disk with dvdinfopro or cdspeed hope that's not a matshieta burner

try and stay away from those G05's there have been issues with them deteorating quickly, check a few every few months or so.

I just found out the 8x part a few weeks ago, looked for a 1693, but i was too late

so much for quality control!

use 4x scanning for 3rd generation liteon drives, 8x for 4th and 5 th generations. http://codeguys.rpc1.org/dvdrw_overview.html

just use imageshack http://imageshack.us/index.php

did you rma it? http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=...96&page=5&pp=25

Looks like the firmware 16x write strategies for that panasonic chipset are totally hosed. The 1.01 seems to do good at 8x. The chipset in the 4167 doesn't seem to have that problem.

Our's is not to reason why, just burn or die, it's common knowledge never use anydvd/dvd43 when you don't need them. I use the analogy of camels and straw, some people think their camels can haul an infinite amount of straw, they blame that last piece that broke it's back.

post a scan of the TYG03 and the speed burned at

TDK was one of the first name brands to sully their rep. Maxell was next. I would go for the -R's Price: $40 Purchased from: www.costco.com Date purchased: December 2005 http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia.php?sele...a=2754#comments

His pie totals are half mine and jitter slight less, I had always believed that PIF's were most important. Evidently NicW thinks otherwise. It's a very subjective field.

now I can have a pif total 1/3 of yours and a lower pif max and get a lower QS??? now i am starting to get a clue to the weighting of the formula

Looks like all my scanning with dvdinfo freebie advert comflict waiting to crash will have to be done on another box which is dedicated and not online! After the hunt for a better burn with an 8x burn on benq with sony, I started scanning with infopro and saving graphs etc. All in all I scanned this disk 6 times, 3 with cdspeed, 3 times with dvdinfo. I surfed and answered posts during the first 5 scans, all the cdspeed ones showed a total PIF of ~100, the first 2 dvdinfo showed in the thousands, WTF! I ran the dvdinfo again and didn't surf and got this, must be some sort of bad conflict between the ads and web pages open. The first 2 dvdinfo showed horrible PIF max's, but the graph had no large spikes! ]My Webpage[/url]
