Snazz Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 My fav' disks are starting to fail. It's all the ones I bought in the last year. Is there anyway to tell if they are legit Traxdata's and what can I run on them that I can understand to see what's going on. These are the 4x that I have always used. Rgeards
cornholio7 Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 did you try a firmware update to eliminate that
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 Are they failing during the burn or when reading back? To tell if they're genuine or not, all you can do is see if the disc id looks ok. Traxdata normally do branded discs though don't they - so you'd see 'TraxData' stamped on them if they're real! (or at least mine are stamped like that).
Snazz Posted September 18, 2005 Author Posted September 18, 2005 Burns on 3 different burners, old and new, failing to play back on one player with a disk error. Other machine with some glitches. Players are standalones. The media is proper spool stamped and branded Traxdata like I have always had.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 18, 2005 Posted September 18, 2005 With 3 burners, there is a good chance one of them supports the PIO scanning stuff in CDSpeed. Run the disc through that and show us a screenshot of the outcome.
lfcrule1972 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 I and (I think corny) had a blip with the Ritek G05 printables recently - I have burnt stacks of these with no probs then had 15 or so shite ones that wouldn't verify etc.... SVP were great and replaced the lot at their expense but I was worried - the latest ones seem to be fine but I hate it when your fave disk/dye goes off....

A few of us had problems with the Ritek G05's lfc, used the remainder of that spindle testing as I burned them off then as recomended by several people here I switched to the Taiyo Yuden and have not looked back That was about 6 months ago now, shite I think the old forum was still up at the time.

Yeah I knew all about the probs with them when they were first launched - I wasn't affected tho, but these are ones that I had used over and over again for the past 4 months

Snazz Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 Scan disk shows no errors on either drive. Disk Quality show the errors bellow. PX-712a=Does nothing NEC ND-3520a=Does not support this feature
cornholio7 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 you don't have your lite on anymore? that supports it
Snazz Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 New computer dude. Just tried 12 more and they are fine.
cornholio7 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 weird. i have a batch of g05's where my plextor sees them as 4x discs and my nec sees them as 8x discs which is what they are. if i burn them with the plex , they won't verify , if i burn them with the nec they are perfect . another batch of the same discs are seen by both writers as 8x <shrug>
Snazz Posted September 19, 2005 Author Posted September 19, 2005 Im gonna do the three faulty one again. I am also gonna ISO read and ISO write the same iffy disks out of curiosity.
cornholio7 Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 (edited) i also know somebody that has a 3520 burning g04 that wouldn't verify , i took 3 of them home and could read them in iso read but they couldn't on their 3520 btw another firmware sorted that problem out, liggy and dee's , the one that removes the riplock Edited September 19, 2005 by cornholio7
LIGHTNING UK! Posted September 19, 2005 Posted September 19, 2005 Ahh, you have a plextor! In that case, you'd use PlexTools.
blutach Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 @LUK! I have an LG and it's the one bugbear I have that it does not do PI/PIF/Jitter testing. Do you know of any tools that can make this drive do these tests? Or do I have to buy a Lite On (yecch) just for this? Regards
Snazz Posted September 20, 2005 Author Posted September 20, 2005 Ahh, you have a plextor! In that case, you'd use PlexTools. Bit late but thanks. :-( I shall have another looksee
