log01 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) hello everyone. 2 days ago i've got a new drive Plextor PX-810SA with DL discs there's no problem but a single layer..( here's the log I 14:18:36 ImgBurn Version 2.4.1.0 started! I 14:18:36 Microsoft Windows XP Professional (5.1, Build 2600 : Service Pack 2) I 14:18:36 Total Physical Memory: 2 Edited June 30, 2008 by log01
mmalves Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Go to Tools/Settings/Write tab, untick 'Perform OPC Before Write' and click OK. Also try burning at 8x or 12x.
log01 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) done untick 'Perform OPC' and set write speed auto I 16:09:51 ImgBurn Version 2.4.1.0 started!

LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Can you get your hands on a couple of Taiyo Yuden / Verbatim discs to test with? 'AUTO' write speed is basically the same a 'MAX' until you actually configure the 'Automatic Write Speed' feature. Read the 'Guides' forum.
log01 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) unfortunately within the next few days i can't get Verbatim single layer, all i got is Verbatim +R DL (MKM001) and TDK+R scratchproof (TDK003) ok, than i must try to burn exactly in 8x-12x, not auto, right? Edited June 30, 2008 by log01
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Yes, you need to set it to 8x or 12x manually.
log01 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) burn process successfully completed at manually selected 8x speed, right now test the disc by dvdinfopro. I always burned tdk on 4x, please tell, if you know, why now higher speed works and lower speed fails? is the lower speed a bad choice if the media is a highspeed itself? (tdk is 16x) and finally, after i untick 'Perform OPC Before Write', will it increase the risk of a bad burn? thank you for your help and for the imgburn) ps ou, another question if you don't mind) please tell, untick 'Perform OPC Before Write' in the menu and push Continue button on the OPC error warning window, is it mean the same result? the fact is i burn a lot of DL and i think that will be better that OPC is enable for the DL.. am i right? Edited June 30, 2008 by log01
mmalves Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 OPC is automatically performed by the burner, and that setting in ImgBurn now defaults to disabled because some burners don't like it. It doesn't affect the burning quality, since that's dependant on the burner/firmware/media combo.
log01 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) thank you) can you please also answer about write speed? -> I always burned tdk on 4x, please tell, if you know, why now higher speed works and lower speed fails? is the lower speed a bad choice if the media is a highspeed itself? (tdk is 16x) ps i burn mostly dvd-video Edited June 30, 2008 by log01
LIGHTNING UK! Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 Because drives and media change. Manufacturers go for high speed, quality burning now and don't pay much (any?!) attention to people who want to burn 16x media at 1x. 8x and 12x seem to be the most reliable. They're not too fast and not too slow. I'd still ditch the TDK in favour of Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden if I were you.
log01 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) thank you for your answer) in fact tdk was likely for me for their scratchproof coat.. please tell me just two more things, if i don't bother you yet) in my experience, VERBATIM DVD+R DL in bulk 10 pack, is the best choice (besides, what's better, discs made in Singapore (MKM 003) or discs made in India? (MKM 001) both are the 1st class media..) and that "best choice" look like on this picture and how does a bulk (or bulks, if there more then one brands of media who sales TY under their own name) of real Taiyo Yuden look like? and what is the right country of manufacturing for the media? thank you) Edited June 30, 2008 by log01
volvofl10 Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (besides, what's better, discs made in Singapore (MKM 003) or discs made in India? (MKM 001) both are the 1st class media..) the better ones are the ones made in Singapore , 2.4 speed with MKM-001. (NOT as you wrote it above with indian mkm 001's)
log01 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) just now, after your post, open 2 new bulks, one Singapore, another India DVDInfoPro again shows that Singapore is MKM 003 and India is MKM 001.. ps sorry, forget that India is 2,4x and Singapore is 8x so..exist two versions of MKM 001, one Singapore and another India? Edited June 30, 2008 by log01
mmalves Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 so..exist two versions of MKM 001, one Singapore and another India? Yes, and the ones Made in India are inferior quality compared to the ones Made in Singapore.
log01 Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) only 2,4 speed made in Singapore, not 8x? and how does a bulk of real Taiyo Yuden look like? ps in Moscow there is no Taiyo Yuden in mediamarket(( so the second request is how does a bulk of Verbatim (Taiyo Yuden) look like? maybe i've been lucky in search of that discs) thank you) Edited July 1, 2008 by log01
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 I believe both 2.4x and 8x discs are available from both Singapore and India. The Taiyo Yuden I get (8x DVD-R with TYG02 dye) don't have any branding on them so to speak. They come in a clear spindle tub with just a top sheet of paper (on top of the first disc) that says what they are. It's just a plain white sheet with some writing on it.
log01 Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) i see, thank you very much) the better ones are the ones made in Singapore , 2.4 speed with MKM-001 only 2,4 speed made in Singapore, not 8x? i mean does the 2,4 speed the best one? is the 8x worse? (also made in Singapore, but MKM 003) ps as i said before there is no TY discs in Moscow (( could you please advise the concrete Verbatim media (single layer +R) that better then TDK, in your opinion Edited July 1, 2008 by log01
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 All the verbatim SL media will either be the MCC or TY dyes. Just get any of them that you can! I'd probably go for their DVD+R over DVD-R. So they'll be MCC-003 (8x) or MCC-004 (16x) or YUDEN000-T02 (8x) or YUDEN000-T03 (16x) For the DL media, burners seem to prefer the 2.4x ones - especially if it isn't a brand new drive. The 2.4x ones have been around for a lot longer and so have better firmware support.
log01 Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 All the verbatim SL media will either be the MCC or TY dyes. Just get any of them that you can! no matter what printed on packing in "made in.."? ps thank you very very much for your help and patience)
mmalves Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 All the verbatim SL media will either be the MCC or TY dyes. Just get any of them that you can! no matter what printed on packing in "made in.."? Do not get the ones made in India. The others (made in Singapore/Japan/Taiwan) are fine.
log01 Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) thanks)) please tell, did anyone burnes the TDK scratchproof? http://www.tdk-media.eu/image.php?id=828 are they REALLY worse then Verbatim? both are the 1st class quality by the information of www.digitalfaq.com.... Edited July 1, 2008 by log01
LOCOENG Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 http://www.digitalfaq.com/media/dvdmedia.htm That site isn't the best resource at all for making a decision on which media to buy. Yes, TDK are worse than Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden. I would go as far as to say they are worse than Ritek as well.
log01 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) вот же ёбанарот (( thanks Edited July 2, 2008 by log01
