lklawrie Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 I think I have some 8X discs. I'll try. plus still have to test out the Blu Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 I would be interested to see your MKM-003 results. See if you get the same results I did. Admittedly, I only tested one before returning it. Plus, the MKM-003 are the only DVD+R DL you can get new and cost effective. 2.4x discs are still available on the aftermarket but are nowhere near cost effective. My memory was I did test the Verbatim BD-R in the ASUS and it was fine. BD-R SL only, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lklawrie Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 My "8x" were RITEK-S04-66. And I never learn from mistakes. Had one of the files open so -- can't verify, I suspect. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Unfortunately, the only reliable DVD+R DL are the Datalife Plus/AZO series of MKM discs from Verbatim. So, burning Riteks, while they might pass, won't do me any good as I won't use those. If you can't Verify immediately, then make sure the file is closed and do a manual Verify. Although, I fail to see why an open file would prevent a Verify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lklawrie Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 well, it's not only open but changed since written. Understand about the Ritek. It's what i had. I will have to order new. First one I did that worked was a Verbatim, I think -- at the 2.4x speed. I have not bought DVDs for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbminter Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Oh, are you writing directly to disc and not an image file first? If so, then, opening and changing a file might cause a Verify to fail that way. Your logs posted were for 2.4x Verbatim MKM-001's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why you're saying that the logs posted were for the MKM-001 -- the last was for the Ritek. I am trying to remove the previous log file so the one in the folder is always the latest.

dbminter Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 The first log you posted in this thread was for 2 MKM-001 burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lklawrie Posted May 5, 2023 Author Share Posted May 5, 2023 That is true and it was also for the original post of the Pioneer drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lklawrie Posted May 12, 2023 Author Share Posted May 12, 2023 New drive: HL-DT-ST BD-RE WH16NS40 (LG) Writing Ritek DL disc. Wrote same data folder (though things will have changed since previous) Worked with verify. YAY. ImgBurn_LG.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 As I said, the only fault I found in the NS40 the last I used it years ago was it did not properly write to DL BD media, but firmware updates since then might have fixed the issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbminter Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 There is one fault present in all LG drives that I failed to mention. They're not perfect readers. They will many times fail to read data from a disc that other drives like Pioneers will read in. That's one reason why I keep a USB Pioneer drive on hand. If my LG won't read in a particular disc, I plug in my Pioneer USB drive and see if that will read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
