PIPO Scan of RITEKF1 with BenQ 1640

[Flawless115]

I just burned a disc and performed a PIPO scan of it. Here is the result.

 

 

Here is the result from the Media & Drives section of the ISF using the same media and drive.

 

 

I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but the discs I'm using are RITEKF1 branded as Memorex, not RiDisc (and before anyone tells me that they're crap media, they're not mine; a "friend" bought them).

 

I'll also mention that the drive I have is a Philips 8701 crossflashed to a BenQ 1640. I'm not sure that it makes a difference, but I figured I'd mention it anyway.

 

As a final note, I would have loved to have posted the log of the burn, but I didn't save it (in case anybody is wondering).

 

Editorial note: I, now, sympathize with "the olde".

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

might even be from a different plant

chewy,

 

I'm sorry; that's where having the log would've helped. I burned it at 8X to begin with. 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.

Out of curiosity, how can you tell that? Is it by the fact that the red area at the end is hovering around the 12X mark?

Thanks for the recommendation. I actually own better media than the Memorex. I usually use one of these

 

YUDEN000-T02-00 (unbranded)

MCC 03RG20 (Verbatim -R)

MCC-004-00 (Verbatim +R)

 

I simply didn't want the other discs to go to waste. Like I said, a friend bought them.

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

the 14-16x speeds would hit.

the 12x you are looking at is the read speed (the red line in the graph). you should be looking at the left hand side where the figure is showing mid to high 300's

corny,

 

What does the "mid to high 300's" indicate? Write speed? Something else?

 

NOTE: Just looked at it again. Does it indicate the PI Peak?

[cornholio7]

its the errors, look at the bottom , the peak was 474

if you want to see the write speed , you need to save the graph when you burn the disc, you can change that in the settings within the gui and then you can see it in dvd info pro at any time

[Flawless115]

Yeah, I know about how to graph the write speed right after a burn. Thanks!

 

I think I'll do some research on PIPO scans so I actually understand what it is that I'm looking at.

Then let me know - thanks !!
