Movie Junkie Posted March 18, 2006 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.
cornholio7 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 you may get worse scans at 4x than at 8x on them from the tests i have done anyway
Movie Junkie Posted March 18, 2006 Author 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?
cornholio7 Posted March 18, 2006 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
Movie Junkie Posted March 18, 2006 Author 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?
cornholio7 Posted March 18, 2006 Posted March 18, 2006 i havent had any 8x verbs for a while , i cant find them in printable where i am so no- sorry i cant help there
