thedevilman Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I just burned my first ever in my lifetime dual layer disc. Can someone be so kind as too look at the graph it spitted out and see if it look alright? Im using a ihas120 drive with older modified firmware from codepatchers. For some reason the new patched firmware wouldn't recognize the drive. So I was stuck with the older firmware. Maybe something to do with AHCI on win 7 and Im too lazy to hook the drive up the old way. But anyways..please take a lookie and tell me what you think. I never understood how to read them. Thanks so much P.s If I'm in the wrong forum, by all means scoot me over to the right part. Thanks! Oh and don't mind the blurry pic. For some odd reason at 1680x1050 rez some programs dont display correctly in win 7. Another bug I need to fix lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Looks OK, but you might want to do a PIPO scan just to be sure. May I ask what are you using modified firmware for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevilman Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Looks OK, but you might want to do a PIPO scan just to be sure. May I ask what are you using modified firmware for? Cool, sounds good. Running a pipo scan now, but taking forever. The reason for modified firmware is it was supposed to fix burn quality issues and speed up reading for ripping. It did significantly spead up the ripping of dvd's and cd's with no issues. Im seeing at least 10x reading of dvd's while ripping now compared to about 6x before. Just wish I could load the new modifed firmware on. Probably have to hook the drive to the old win xp box to do it. Im thinking the codeguy's flasher cant handle ahci drives. Will post the pipo scan as soon as it done for a final comfirmation. Thanks man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems good, but need a expert opnion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I reported the issue with DVDInfoPro on their 'Mantis' issue tracker last week, hopefully they'll fix it in the next release. Set the scan speed to 4x or 8x in DiscSpeed and then do it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Look for Win7 drivers for your AHCI SATA controller (use SIW to find out brand/model if you don't know already). The standard Windows 7 AHCI driver is intentionally limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevilman Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Not using the windows 7 default driver, actually intel. Will see if they have a newer one though. Be back with the new scan. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmalves Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Intel released one for RC1, I'm using it on Win7 RTM and it's working fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevilman Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Intel released one for RC1, I'm using it on Win7 RTM and it's working fine Daamn dude, ya da man. Driver works perfect. Cool, now I can update the drive to the newest patched firmware. I don't know why it made it different. The driver I had installed has same number and date as the one you posted, but now the patcher can access the drive. Cool man. Maybe it will take care of the random unexplained bsods I get about once a week. System is never turned off. Heres the newest graph as requested by Lightning at 8x. Let me know what you think.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Much better PI Error levels on that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedevilman Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Much better PI Error levels on that one So is that about a good typical burn for verbatim then? I did change the firmware on the drive till a legit lite on one, so I will post the burn in a sec to see if there is a difference or not. Well with updated firmware to a legit one, it did a worse burn. And now the disc wont read/burn faster than 4x even if I manuually set it for 8x. So guess Im going back to a patched version. Thanks for the suggestion though. Edited October 11, 2009 by thedevilman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 That's no worse, just normal tolerance levels in the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
