Disk Quality Scan Thread

[NightTran]

it is easy to burn good media, but ok media or bad and get a decent scan is tough

OK I decided to do a TYG03 early.It's not to bad for the first burn

I looks like one of those spools of the econemy TY's were after all TYG02,

Looks like I will have more of those then I thought.

Burning at 8X on 8X TYG02






I seem to get the best results with burning at 8X, (4X starts to get hot and faster I get some fails but 8X seems to work great.)

sony MIT 16x dvd+r @ 8X LG 4163B
less than 30cents out the door BestBuy
not bad, good solid grade A-/B+ media
really do like to bitsett

much better than the fuji's, little more consistent with pif's than the imation, and equivalent to a lot of batches of verbatim

safe buy

BTW photo way to go! Looks like you got a very good batch! Don't waste them on tests and cruddy
backups.

I decided to give the original LiteOn HS0E FW a fair chance before I gave the HV9N FW by C0deKing a go.And right off the bat I like what I see from the HV9N FW.I would like to thank jm1647 for giving me this information.You can compare this burn with this one

[NightTran]

that will not prove it improve can be easily like that from one disc to another

it takes 2 or 3 burns to show a difference and then the blanks must be super consistent and of higher quality

Actually it was my second burn sorry if I made it sound like it was my first.I will test this firmware with the TYG03's,MCC 004's and the CMC Mags and post the results some time today

@chewy,

I plan to use this batch for the best movies and the Soprano's LOL.

Looks like there are some great results with these TYG02 acrossed the board here.

I will keep my eyes out for those for a while and stock up when I can or should I say while I can.

Nice Burn !!!! Glad it is all working out for ya. C0deKing does some nice work the 16X rs-os firmware is a nice tweak and the test Smartburn from LiteOn is also nice.

Here is the CMC Mag.I am unable to do the MCC 004s because I am out of them

Keeps Getting Better

I really love this new FW for the LiteOn.If I am going overboard with these posts just say so and I will lay off a bit

why don't you clarify the sony/liteon part a little for any noob's wondering how you get such pretty burns

[BR7]

For the first thing you need stable clean power(brought to my attention by Chewy).For the Lite-On SHM-165H6S(Dont know why it shows as Sony) I first used the HS0E firmware and I wasn't satisfied with the results so I switched to the HV9N firmware.Like I said above jm1647 brought C0deKing's HV9N firmware to my attention it can be found here.I have both Force Hyper Tuning and Online Hyper Tuning enabled you can use imgburn or SmartBurn v3.1.16t to make these settings.I used Taiyo Yuden(MIJ) -R blank media and I burn at 8X

Seems the BenQ1650 does a little better of a job on the TYG03's then my Lite-On.You can compare this to my test above.All though I have not lost faith in my Lite-On because that was it's first burn with the TYG03's.By the way it was burned at 12x
