Disk Quality Scan Thread

[Chewy]

I suspect it's more complicated than that, Many months ago I ran into a few bad verbs in a spindle. First I got a couple that scanned 30 or 40, then the rest were fine until I got to few that wouldn't play in any player but scanned high. My theory was something was messed up in the booksetting part of the disk where a standalone refused to read but my scanners could. I stayed away from bitsetting and verbs for several months. Bought some ricoh 4x dvd+r and went back to bitsetting and never saw the problem.
I hope I never see the problem again.

ImgBurn didn't kick it in to PIO mode but something else did.

Well I launched ImgBurn & set my burn speed for 4X also booktyped. Then I get this PIO burn, wouldn't go above 1.9X & the buffers were going crazy. Now this wasn't imgBurn that kicked in to PIO mode. Well I let it finish & then went & reset my DMA, did another couple of burns with ImgBurn just to make sure everything was back to normal & it was, burned perfectly.

@Chewy I finally got around to puttin in the LiteOn 160P6s, I wanna save the 1693s as a replacement burner for my standalone.

Here is the first burn and at 16X with the 160P6s and C0deKings f/w so I broke out the 16X Verbatims

Here is a scan from my BenQ DW1670.These TYGO3's x4 really piss me off they are horrible media my NEC 3550A hates them worse then the BenQ I wish there was a way I could send them back to the supermediastore because I am now stuck with 200 hundered pieces of junk.

the pie's are good as the nec scan exaggerates them, my last batch of
tyg02's had a lot of variance, some great disks, some like that or worse.

try the nec at 8x and the benq at 8 and 12x

use quick scan to weed out the bad ones, set measure points to 100

Wish I would have known that sooner I have six discs in the garbage I will be doing more tomorrow thanks for the advice.

gary,
interesting 3550 scan, lowest pie's I have seen reported by one of them,
try to repeat the scan at slower speeds(4 or5x)

take care of that drive if the pif's at end of disk are less

[Gary D]

I set the ECC scan interval to 1 with a regedit fix. I learned about it at CDF.

It seems to work (but not as good as BenQ).

[Chewy]

would you post a 4 or 5x scan of that burn to compare

[Gary D]

Now scanned at 5X --- Same disc as post # 174

Now scanned at 5X

I wonder about PI error average have any thing to do with longetivity ( sorry for my spell), my old sony 1693 can burn very good at 4x but PIE ave. is about up there with you Gary
