hi every1,been in zagreb these last few days so i used a chance to buy some media - verbatims,16x,"made in taiwan" and "made in india"

here are the results of my two 8x tests...i found it very disappointing that the create disc graph looks so bad...now im doing a 12x test

greetz!!!

verbatim - mcc 004 - 8x test - INDIA

[sonic_emperor]

and here are the MITs

[Chewy]

something strange going on with your burner computer

standard/default ms drivers?

[sonic_emperor]

yes?12x did fine-but quality check doesnt look good as these two..i think MIT's have bad dye or some problems at the end of the disc

[sonic_emperor]

heres the link

12xscan

I would reflash in safe mode with that firmware and then if it keeps
dropping burn speed to 4x I would go back one firmware, but give it few more burns, you should be burning in 8-9 minutes not 15 at 8X

that's to be expected at 12x with the newer nec drives, granted that's bad, but noexistant at 8x

you have not had any luck with putting hard drives on the card?

tried it in the midst of my problems and it did not work, could attempt it again, If i hook 1 to 1 and 1 to 2 will that put them in serial?
I'm going to kill you with questions here then with my primary and secondary how would i want to hook up the 2 burners and 1 rom? easier to ask before i do it than later after trial and error.

I would reflash in safe mode with that firmware

What or why does flashing in safe mode do in comparison to running in normal mode?

[Chewy]

There's a lot of crap that loads on average computers in regular mode, when flashing you want windows full attention on the flash, not some screen saver,
av program or even an instant message. Think about it, another very important reason, if your ide drives are buggy, they can hose the flash. Safe mode is pio mode.
Be safe not sorry.

so how do i want to try to hook my burners up if i run my hd's off the card?

[Chewy]

liteon master primary
nec master secondary
benq60 slave secondary

get the hard drives up and running(get help?)

[dmanshead]

that particular computer has the benq and jlms rom

so here's a question about cd-dvd speed: If i make a dvd 9 image can i burn the Iso with cd-dvd speed? in Blutach's tutorial http://www.videohelp.com/~r0lZ/pgced....htm#BurnSetup he says "If you don’t burn with DVD Decrypter, you will need to find a burning program that respects the position of the layer break, enables you to input the manual layer break you have chosen and be able to fill layer 1 with padding sectors at the end. GEAR (which is available on all platforms) may qualify. Nero does not."
I actually have mine setup to work with ImgBurn, just tweaked his instructions a bit, and it works great. Later versions of PgcEdit already come comeplete with mkisofs.exe at a higher version than ImgTool classic.

No. CD/DVD Speed is a testing program, not a burning program.
