shrink won't open iso's,
not entirely true , Ctrl/I
learn something every day, not sure why I would ever need it tho?
-
hiya chewy i went to google i found magic iso maker is that worth investing in
I am old time shrinker/ newtime iso man.
-
I don't do dual layer, but the one thing I know is don't use shrink!
shrink won't open iso's, it makes them
google is your friend
-
thanks volvo yes it will write dual layer just wonderd was there a certain make or die that was better
In order of quality and consistency
SL
TYG0X's
Yuden T0X's
everything else
DL
Verbatim + format
nothing else ranks
a gross generalization!

rescan same disk

benq 1620 burning sony 8x dvd+R @ 12x 7+minutes
nec burns at 12x all had bad spikes ~@ 3gig mark
why does my next best burner have to be my only good scanner?

I've got myself a 4166 to perform the tests with... just need to find the time.
Will also be testing a 4551 (maybe) and a LiteOn 1635.
I am considering the liteon's for a crosscheck scanner, glad to hear LG will be included.
-
I would go for a state funeral if I were you......
Imgshack won't host the scan, it scored 97! That's the unbelievable part!
Rare thing for a 16x burn(in my experience)
-
If you want to send it to me chewy I will see what I can do.....
Zevia at cdfreaks has some sort of tweak that takes 3 seconds off the time, he won't share it.
When mine dies it will get a full honor guard and 21 gun salute. :&

I know there are a lot of burners, but what I consider the best isn't shown.
It's quality scans leave a lot to be desired since it doesn't scan and reads almost anything without errors.

Unless they're counting individual discs in boxed sets in sales, which is easily explained by the saturation of the market of TV DVD boxed sets.
good example, I ordered the kung fu season 3 from amazon,
4 dual layer flipper disks(dvd-18's) = 8 disk set
30$, authoring probably costs a few thousand, production less than 1$
a disk!
-
now what do these two speed graphs have in common?

same disk as earlier

well, it obvious that scanning a problematic burn is very inconsistent as read errors enter into the measurement of write errors. My test confirms dvdinforpro giving a higher QS to such disks even after
measuring worse levels of PIE's and PIF's. These cloned disks are manufactured in hong kong, the burn was
made on a nec 3550(modded for bitsetting)(same write strats as stock) overspeeded to 16x
Jitter was the only consistent factor comparing the 2 scans.
The rogue spike is consistent(hence not a real rogue) which I have found to be the rule not the exception
in my scans.
I hope I haven't bored anyone too much!
I guess I am trying to make a science out of this.
-
I thought chewy was talking about the scans we have been posting in the Drives/Media topic mate. You're right tho he could have been talking about his scans....
My scans match from cdspeed and dvdinfo pro, but then again they aren't quite as broadrange as your's.
I tend to avoid problematice media. The last several posted seem to have some real bad areas that aren't
getting penalized enough with the QS, I will burn and scan some clone Yuden T02's I have and crosscheck.
I sure I can find a burner/firmware or two that will overspeed them. Who knows yet about the new benq's?
-
I think the dvdinfo pro team needs to take a hard look at their formula, I am seeing PIF max's and averages that seem way high for the QS assigned, they may be ignoring rogue spikes well enough but something's not quite right.
my 2 pence

we had similar problems when our isp switched dns servers last year,
nothing worked quite right, the old servers weren't being updated and
some sites worked fine others not at all

The bandwidth should be good as it's sitting on my ISPs HD.
The file itself looks to be just an installer like some of the Windows updates. You know the ones - run the file and it installs over the internet. Kodak do it with their camera software too.
As for being blacklisted - Well, ISPs rely on DNS blacklists to ban traffic from suspected spammers. If an updated list blocks IPs in the range of 202.140.223.0 to 203.200.123.123 (for example), all inbound or outbound traffic within that range will be discarded. If an innocent business or individual owns/rents an IP within this range, they may not be able to contact websites hosted on that ISP. The reverse is also true. If a number of IP addresses are being blocked by a users' ISP, they will not be able to contact it - even if it's legitimate. It's happened to me on a couple of occasions when the "powers that be" have gotten it wrong and I've been unable to connect to a particular site when all others work fine.
I was linked to the full installer, 80MB.

nice bandwidth Shamus
somehow I kept getting the download from MS, why would it be
blacklisted?
-
You don't have to use all that advanced stuff, server is just there to
keep all the underlings in control, nothing to do with dhcp.
Or just do a complete power down of your network and power up
your virtual server first. I would be very interested in LUK's spin on this.
When I betatested W2003 it came out of the box just like I set my Wxp
machines up.
-
Or just put W2k server on your most stable machine!
-
From what I've read I'd agree with you re: Browsemaster. My machines don't "flake out" though as most stay up for weeks at a time. The only drive that dissapears is the Netgear.
It's that staying on for weeks in a serverless peer to peer that makes networking flacky.
Similar small business enviroments are usually maintained by at least weekly power downs.
The power up is the important part with the best machine booting first and assuming the browsmaster role.
-
It should not require me to have a degree in computer science just to keep it running. Yeah?
what's user friendly about networking?
which discs to use

since i reauthor main files only and break up unusally long compilations into 2 disks and am still waiting
to see a high quality scan of a DL burn, I'll stick with SL disks(whose technology has almost matured).
