Why not burn a full disk?

[Chewy]

here's why, the disk did great, considering it's age until 4200MB.

Hey, What's the ID?

[Chewy]

I have scanned lot of disks, this last week, if your firmware in the scanner doesn't support the MID then it won't report it.
For example my nec sees the mids for MB(India) same for LG, Benq won't.

I have culled over 80 burns this week.

the LG says it's a princo!

[TNT]

OK. I think I have some princo's. I'll have to check it out. Are you getting CRC errors at the end?

[Chewy]

I never trust that antiquated standard, beauty in the eye of the beerholder,
quick scan(2 minutes tops).
My princos have ranged from mid 90s to almost unreadable 0's,
with little in the middle.

Princo are the worst disc ever. They are even worse than Bulkpaq (Bulkcrap as i call them). It is rare to be able to fill a DVD without failed burns or they do burn full then stop working after a few months.

[Chewy]

I have princos over 2 years old that scan 95.

IMHO I am sorry guys but I think it comes down to the luck of the draw and when you hit a snag with media you just have to move on to the next one.That doesn't mean that you don't buy the best you can for your project.4200 though chewy I have Shrink set at 4460.I might have to rethink that.

[Chewy]

With good media that's not a problem(4460), except for that's where all the wear and tear happens, think finger oil! scuffs
4400 with good media or white gloves, of course if you leave 20 minutes of credits!
