Showstopper Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Just a quick question. I just started burning today and i'm burning at 2.4x with OPC on, but i've read that it should be off unless burning at 4x. Is it ok that I have it on at 2.4x?

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I've never seen it make much (any) difference really. Do a burn with it on and another with it off. Compare the quality via a disc quality/pipo scan and go with whatever produced the best result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showstopper Posted June 15, 2012 Author Share Posted June 15, 2012 Thanks for the quick reply. When you say quality, what do you mean? I burnt Ghost Recon and it's fine. Same with Modern Warfare 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 An old thread with a small test and I use OPC mainly only to find out when a burner is near it's dead. If OPC works when it's new, it will start failing near the death date, based on my crashed burners. http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=6334 When you say quality, what do you mean? A disc scan on the burned disc. Only certain burners are reliable for this test. Mainly genuine Lite-Ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burnt 4 games at 2.4x with OPC on. Should I turn it off? Is it damaging my drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynthia Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 No, that setting is not damaging your drive. That burner is a genuine Lite-On so it should be ok to scan with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just keep burning at 2.4x with OPC on then? Only other thing I changed was buffer speed to 512. I haven't enabled Hypertuning or smartburn.
