Nero CD-DVD Speed, a great tool

All of the Sony 16x Accu, +R that I have seen are (as you stated) MIT but the -R are MIJ. At least the ones I have and have seen.

@ geno888
sony accucores with a sony ID are usually MIT

at least all i ever bought were

[geno888]

Thanks I will look if it is onsale ( I thought These burns were from you )

I did these burns with the pioneer 108 of my brother, and then did scans with my benq 1640. The 108 gave me better results also with made in India media. As I said, I need to retrieve pics from my brother computer, but I'll post scans soon to compare with made in India media burned with my benq 1640.

I read the thread on pioneer 111 on CDF, and I found that it's a very good burner for DL discs.

The bad thing is that I need also a new HDD, and I can't afford both the pio111 and the HDD

damn they dont ship to croatia,and we're just across the adria!!!

This is a shame

Moreover, in last times, nierle quality is reducing

Well i flashed my memorex dvd+/- rw true 8xI with SOHW-812S firmware which is what the drive really is. it now shows up as a liteon. I'm about ready to do the first burn with it to see how it all turns out.

i was just at the local wally world and the 50 pks of -r are MIJ but the 25 pk are MIT. I just don't do many -r and have a good quanity of + so I bought a few MIT maxell -r for some test media 2.50 for 3 spendy but not too bad for a couple of test discs.

[dmanshead]

here's the results the first was a movie and second was data by cd-dvd speed

[dmanshead]

Here are the scans of those same discs but with my other liteon, i think it scans better.

the memorex aka liteon has seen it's better days. here's to new burners and all the fun they will entail!!!!

[dmanshead]

Ok did some test trying to burn at 16x the second burn did better than the first. First time for this particular media. defragged(as best it would) the volume before attempting, turned off all programs except my virus/firewall running in my sys tray. I'm wondering if this PIII 733mhz 512 ram is maybe a bit physically challenged trying to write this fast???....
read over @cdfreaks about a test program of online hyper tuning for this type of burner, hmmmmmm....... Maybe i have Just a tad too much time on my hands but at least this hobby keeps me out of trouble.

these iso burn engines don't take a lot of cpu, walk in the park for them

nice burns for grade B media

[Chewy]

geno,
I would like to ask you a big favor when you get time

please post some sets of quality scans of identical disks (liteon & benq)
would be very interested to see some done where pif totals were in hundreds and low thousands
just 2 sets would be fine
say a grade B burn and a C burn
litey scans at 8x 1 ecc benq 8x 8ecc

[sonic_emperor]

i tried burning my sonys at 8x today,then i scaned,and i think that scan looked better than the 6x or 4x scans...so i made a test...

heres the first scan

[sonic_emperor]

here are test results,burned iso in dvdspeed

[Chewy]

hard to tell, but looks like 4x is a bad burn speed
not being able to control media consistencey makes this more an art than a science

[geno888]

Ok Chewy

Here there is the first test.

Verbatim +R 16x MCC004 made in india burned @12x with a pioneer 108.

First pic is burn, second is scan with benq 1640, third is scan with liteon 1693 done at 8x, and fourth is TRT.

Next scans are coming. I need some more time to complete
