Clarification Required - How to set verification speed correctly?

[ilitws]

Gratitude

 

Thanks to ImgBurn 2.5.1 & great forum advices I've continually got great ISO's, great burns & understand my logs - all of which I save.......The logs along with the above inputs has helped to greatly reduce my learning curve.  

 

I've set my write speed correctly at 6x for my firmware Sony-DWQ30A & I have the latest exe update of the firmware i.e. YYS7.

 

In fact I've set a fixed write speed at 6x for the combination of "Sony-DWQ30A" & "DVD-R 120min/4.7GB AccuCORE 16x/1x" 

 

So my last log said - Average Write Rate: 8,159 KB/s (5.9x) - Maximum Write Rate: 8,402 KB/s (6.1x)

 

My Assumption

 

Just like one can set the correct write speed one can also the correct verification speed for:-

 

1. video file - by going inside "Mode-Verify-Settings" for your video file. Do the needful on dropbox on the left if it is a video file or 
2. audio file - by going inside "Mode-Verify-Settings" for your audio file. Do the needful on dropbox on the right if it is not a video file but an audio file

 

Queries:-

 

1. How do I set the correct verify speed the very first time? Is the first time just trial & error?   
2. For the second time onwards can I just note down my last log & set the "verify speed" exactly equal to or slightly below (in case an exact match is not possible).After setting "write speed" at 6x my last log said - Average Verify Rate: 15,098 KB/s (10.9x) - Maximum Verify Rate: 21,679 KB/s (15.7x)

Therefore shall I for this combination of firmware+media set "verify speed" at 10x since there is no option like 10.9x?   

 

Kindly guide

It's not for video / audio files, it's for data or audio TRACKS. (You can only have audio tracks on a CD)

 

There is no 'correct' verify speed, just leave it on the default values.

Thanks for clarifying both my doubts i.e.

 

1. It is not video file or audio file. Audio track in this context means CD - so this setting is relevant only to CD. Understood.
2. There is no such thing as correct verify speed - it should be left on default values. Understood.

Query

 

A kind clarification regarding - "it's for data or audio TRACKS. (You can only have audio tracks on a CD)" please

 

1. A data CD or a data DVD means if your output CD or output DVD will contain .xls, .doc, .ppt files etc isn't it? Have I understood correctly?   
2. "audio TRACKS" means you have a CD or DVD with a "song or speech on it but without any video" isn't it? Have I understood correctly?   
3. Therefore I am unable to understand why audio tracks can be had as an output only on a CD but not on DVD!   I understand the point relating to verify speed setting i.e. the right dropbox relates only to CD. So I have no doubts on that point any longer. I'd like to understand whether (using ImgBurn 2.5.1) I can burn an audio only on a CD file but not on a DVD whereas (using ImgBurn 2.5.1) I can burn a video file both on CD & DVD

I would be grateful for your guidance

CD supports several different track modes - Mode 1, Mode 2 and CD-DA.

 

DVD/HD DVD/BD only supports one track mode - Mode 1.

 

The 'Audio' track I refer to is for CD-DA tracks (i.e. those found on a proper Audio CD, playable in any standalone cd player)

 

Everything you burn via Build mode (be it mp3 files, avi files, doc files, xls files, jpg file etc) all end up in a data track.

Thanks.I have fully understood it now
