lfcrule1972 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 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 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) 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. sony branded media I 06:23:02 ImgBurn Version 1.1.0.0 started!

lfcrule1972 Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy Posted February 9, 2006 Author Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) 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.
