Good burn on Hong Kong Clones

Yuden T02's made in hong kong, yes Taiyo Yuden doesn't manufacture there.

See this is where I am not sure about the scans, to me I always look to get above 90% burn quality, ideally 95%. That said the standalone players seem to cope ok with lesser quality burns.....

 

So are there any hard and fast rules for a minimum burn quality % ?

[chewy]

The formula used still isn't good enough to just look at a QS and make that decision, even tho dvdinfo has gone a long way towards that goal,

there is still a ways to go. That PIF total should have lowered the score

to below 80. Reading these scans is still as much an art as a science.

[chewy]

here's a good example of interpreting a quality burn

notice the relatively low PIF totals, PIE also, dvdinfo pro gives a large penalty to the jitter.

Cheers chewy - you confirmed what I do already then, I look for low PIF/PIE's and then check the Quality score as well...... So far the TYG02's are still my best burns

I don't expect much out of my nec 3550, firmware is too immature

 

Rearranging my computers and trying to optimize for testing, need a gigabit switch bad and a benq 1650

and a large horseshoe desk.
