manicx Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Hi there I burned a couple of DL disks this weekend. I decided to check the result using Nero CD Speed. The results were not that good. In one case, CD Speed reported a quality of 40! So, I decided to redo on burn with ImgBurn and one with Nero 8. So the results are the following: Burn with ImgBurn Burn with Nero Most of the disks I checked display similar results. Quality from Nero disks in CD Speed are above 90 and with ImgBurn under 75 (the above is actually the best I had)... I am wondering if the burning software plays a role in the burn quality and if there is anything I can do to have better results. Setting in ImgBurn were set to default.
dontasciime Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 No. It's a fluke the media you are using is so inconsistent that your tests are meaningless. If software has bugs and disc's do not write then software comes into it
mmalves Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 Upgrade to the latest firmware available for your burner 1.07 and use Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4x (MKM-001-00 dye) Made in Singapore blanks for best results. Look at the pinned threads in this support forum and you'll see that the program has no control over the burn quality: that's down to the burner/firmware/media combination
blutach Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Both of those discs are so far out of ECMA specs, they are no more use than a piece of old toilet paper. Do a mmalves says and discard the cheap Ricoh media you are using. Regards

manicx Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 (edited) So, I must be happy with the above results... Thanks for your feedback guys.. Already ordered some verbatims.... Not sure about the media code since I can't find anywhere that they mention it, but it says "VERBATIM DVD+R DUAL LAYER 2,4X 8.5GB MATT SILVER CAKEBOX 10"... I will try them and see. A bit off topic but I tried firmware 1.07 and it was not giving me as good results on TY03 disks (Ceramic +R) as 1.06 did. I noticed that even Liggy and Dee are modifying 1.06 so I stayed on that...
