Disk Quality Scan Thread

[Dan]

Yes that is annoying,lol. At least it wasn't a 99 all the way, then after 4 gigs, it turns into a coaster. Had a few of those with some D11 way back.

Yep, that one is nasty alright Dan.

soup I thought the liteon wouldn't scan???

Went for walkabout through the registry.

[Chewy]

would you elaborate for other users?

[soup]

Followed steps in this link because I had a hunch Nero was blocking the Lite-On. Now instead of just removing I had a faint memory (don't know if it is necessary for sure) that you had to have something typed in there, so I typed in a drive in my system that I knew couldn't do the scan anyway even if you unblocked it, LG. Opened up Nero CDDVD Speed, clicked on Disc Quality, found out the Start wasn't greyed out & you see the final product in post #648. BTW just in case anybody is interested, the whole story is in this thread if you read from Page #3 Post #33.

Same registry hack required for my Samsung (in the link soup provided), for anyone with one or buying one that is interested.

@soup,

There is another firmware upgrade for your TSSTcorp SH-162L TS07 it is now at version TS08.

[soup]

Thanks for the heads up doctorhardware, appreciated. Boy that was fast, I don't think it was that long ago that I updated it.

Imation 8x DVD+R, burned @4x with Samsung SH-S182D. Typical of poor media IMO, looks good until 4 gig, then look out!

[locoeng]

I had high hopes for this one too....

[soup]

You get what you pay for.

Boy I am really glad I did not buy these blanks, got some from a friend. The last one went in the dumper right from the start & I mean right at the beginning (48).

Imation DVD+R 8x. MID (MBIPG101 R04).
Burned @ 4x with Samsung, no post 4 gig eruption this time. According to MID info, not entirely bad media. 2nd burn with NEC 3550 @4x.

Just updated firmware from BCGB to BCIB...I was a little disappointed with the initial results of the MCC004's I did six of them and they all were not as good as I would have expected....then I popped in a few TY02's.
