chewy Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 jack still thinks he taking the triva test, look at the scanning speed
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 It was one of the first times i'd used DVDinfopro and I hadnt got a clue what I was doing!! My scans and burns are much better now, mind you that Lite-on drive will not give me a decent burn on a Ritek. My Phillips gives me flawless burns on them, 98+ quality rating. I only burn TY's in the Lite-on now and they are flawless too.
chewy Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 sorry jack I thought you were trying to get as bad a scan as possible, rescan that disk at 8x and see if it makes any difference, liteons are used to primarily scan and read if someone has other burners.
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 No it wasnt intentional, I was just clueless!! The disc crapped out at the end when I played, so I know it was a bad burn. I'm a real newb when it comes to scanning, I just stuck the disc in and pressed start! I will scan it again when I get a chance, i'm intrested to see how much diffrence it makes.
chewy Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 much better now flawless burns are flawless too after succombing to the scanning madness, these terms will see infrequent use!
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 I hope not! I want to get good at this! I like the quality rating on this one, but thats about the only bit I do understand!!
chewy Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I think I'd bush the ritek's, have you scanned a phillips burn on them?
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 This is one I did tonight, scanned on the phillips. Not quite as good as the TY .I beleive the Phillips is a rebadged Benq from what i've read. The Lite-on doesnt seem to support jitter, at least I cant seem to get it to anyway.
lfcrule1972 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Should be Auto Peak, 8x CAV, Auto Peak, Auto Peak working down the list of drop down options mate
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Cheers. With a bit of help I might work out how to scan a disc properley. I just jumped in feet first like I usually do and these were the results I was getting. Any help is appreciated.
lfcrule1972 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 Its ok mate I got all my limited knowledge from the boss and chewy !
cornholio7 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 jitter can have a big affect on the score jack, try re-scanning the one you did on the lite on in the phillips for comparison
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Just scanning the 0% disc again now. I just get 8x not 8x cav in the second drop down box and the Lite-on still doesnt support jitter. Is that right? 17% into the scan and the quality rating is 99%!!!!!
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Marginally better at 8x, 7.7%!! One for the bin methinks! I will probably do all my scanning with my Phillips then, as that gives me a jitter reading. Just going to do the TY again and see what the rating is then. You are right Chewy, I think i'm getting hooked on this scanning lark!
chewy Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 after reading about that old phillips drive, i can see why you use the +R riteks, it has a real hard time with the TYG0X's rare old drive
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 Yeah, i've had it a while but it has never let me down. I'm still on the original firmware as well, the burns have been so reliable that I havent bothered updating. Just scanned the TY from before on the Phillips: Bit disapointed really, thought it would be better. Excuse my ignorance, but is the diffrence down to the jitter?
cornholio7 Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 the jitter seems high on that scan , looks like a totally different disc
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 It is the same disc, the only diffrence now is that I printed on it with my Epson r200 and i've watched the film once.
chewy Posted January 31, 2006 Posted January 31, 2006 I'd go with the liteon, especially since the philips is so old and doesn't support -R format, looks like more read errors even at slow speed!
jack Posted January 31, 2006 Author Posted January 31, 2006 The Liteon was meant to replace the Phillips. I just have a shitload of Ritek's to use up yet. Always handy to have a back-up burner anyway. I have a Samsung DVD rom as well, but everytime I try and scan anything from that DVDinfo pro locks up. Mind you it is even older than the Phillips!! Thanks for your help guys, I've learnt quite a bit tonight.
chewy Posted February 1, 2006 Posted February 1, 2006 I hope not! I want to get good at this! I like the quality rating on this one, but thats about the only bit I do understand!! according to Zevia, Keep in mind that Jamos use a Lite-On drive which is 1ECC scanner and will produce lower PIFs compared to BenQ scans (8ECC).
