Disk Quality Scan Thread

Burn to the edge

Soup/Chewy, is there any way with DVD-RB to reduce the max size of the disk so I don't burn to the very outer edge? Naturally this means more compression. These verbatim DVD-R"s are the ones I previously posted a question about the quality control as the extream outer edge had rub marks from the stacking of DVD's on the spindle.

Blu would know but I just use the default set up and never have problem

[Chewy]

if it's only the credits I wouldn't worry about it, try to find media that's not been mishandled

I took an old burn that I burned with my old optorite burner, burned at 2X on a princo disc and ripped it as a .ISO and re burned it on a TYG02 at 4X with my new BenQ 1650 here are the results.


Old burn:



New burn from old burn:

Verbatim 16x dvd -R, MCC03RG20, made in India, burned @16x with SONY DW-G120A firmware MYR4

This disc is of a rather bad batch of media. Almost all discs of this box shows similar results

Verbatim 16x dvd +R, MCC04, made in India, burned @16x with SONY DW-G120A firmware MYR4


This disc was scanned two times with two different liteon drives. I was curious to check if latest liteon drives were reliable when scanning @8x instead of 4x, like previous models. The two scans are comparable, so I think that 8x is a good speed for more recent liteon drives.

I forgot to mention that Sony 120 is a rebranded liteon 165P6S drive.

Another disc of the same box of the previous scan (a really bad batch of discs )


These discs give bad results also burned @12x, @8x and @4x

Originaly burned CompUSA in Nec 6100A. Not sure of the original burn speed
Reburned 11/4/06 TY02 Benq 1650 4x
Seems as if CDspeed reads the original burn date as the reburn date.

Sorry for late answer

CD-DVD Speed manage dates in a peculiar way. The shown date is not when the disc was burned, but the date in which the ISO file was created.

So, for example, if you burn on a disc an ISO file created on January 1st 2000, even if you burn this file on November 11th 2006, shown date will be anyway 01/01/2000.

I never saw such a scan on these media. Now I'm curious to try
