Disk Quality Scan Thread

[soup]

Burned with GSA-H10N (JL11).

TDK 8X: Sony/Yuden 4X:

I took me a little bit to figure out the best method. It seems the BCIC firmware didn't like me so I switched to BCFC and everything seemed to work better for me

[BR7]

This was burned at 12x.One thing I am noticing is that I keep getting a spike around th 0.5 mark on both my 03's and 02's. Anybody know what is causing this?
EDIT
OK as I said above I thought the BCFC F/W was the answer.As I did more reading at CF they all claim BCIC is the best firmware to use.So I got to thinking that I never did use the setting I was using with BCFC and that was WOPC On/SB Supported on.so I swiched back to BCIC And sure enough I did get a better scan

that second scan looks like it was burning too fast at the end, pie's are getting way out of spec for a benq scan, or bad dye spread at outer edge of disk

try to be consistent and only change one variable at a time

using cdspeed to burn an iso allows you to see details in the burn speed graph
correlated with the error graph

[BR7]

Here is the test.I noticed the speed was going from 11-12x and then dropped to 4-6x is that normal?I will check back later my peepers convinced me that I need some sleep

[Chewy]

now when you scan that disk you superimpose the burn graph

those sharp dips are the burner trying to get the best burn possible from that blank, something happened around 2.5 gigs.

I still use BCFC if I still have that 1650, that scan look alot better then the BCIC ( even the # did not say it), I compare the PIF total only

[BR7]

Thanks Chewy and Night

Memorex branded 16X DVD-R, MIT, burned at 12X Benq 1650(very first burn this mid)

I did not buy these, a friend paid me back some he owed me(blanks)

It's a miracle
burn time 7 minutes

If you turn every things off with Qsuit it will be smoother ( only for TY or Verb). I just wonder now you have Benq1650 and Nec 3550 which one is better?

I will run some tests tomorrow. I am doing a back up movie right now and it should be ready when I get up.Tests will be posted some time tomorrow evening
Does anyone know if there is an update of any kind
for the NEC 3550A 1.Y6 I can't seem to remember the name of the site to check

Looks like you are up to date.

Thanks Coda But thats not where I got the firmware from the firmware I got allows the NEC to do scans.And the person that made it had like a cartoon type name.
@ Night
Here are the tests I said I would do

[NightTran]

I guess you know which one is best now , stick with what is best for you but nec scan is not reliable ( your scan still look great )
what about TY 03 how does it perform in nec and 1650

[BR7]

I will do the TY03's tomorrow.I really hate the 03's and I don't think I will ever buy them again.I am just going to stick with the TY02's and Verbs from now on I have had great luck with both of them
