bitset changes with NEC ND 3550 A

[NightTran]

I never set to rom with nec 3550 just burn with that firmware it will come out dvd-rom, I may be wrong since I dont use imgburn that much

nero is strong with the bitsetting force and the right burner/firmware

I was over at cd freaks reading about The Nec ND-3550A and ran across this, what is your take on this matter??? to see this whole thread: http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=157109

Below is some additional info from the author of CD-Speed.

To change the scanning interval with Nero CD-DVD Speed the following registry value can be added:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ahead\Nero Toolkit\CD Speed\CD Quality]
"Scanning Interval"=dword:0000008 for 8ECC or =dword:0000001 for 1ECC

To compare with other drives following intervals can be used:
8 ECC (to compare with BenQ/Philips/QSI/Pioneer)
1 ECC (to compare with LiteOn/BTC/Plextor)
32 ECC (to compare with AOpen)

The colored backgrounds and quality score are changed accordingly.

(Liteon drives) using K-Probe @4X scan speed or CD-DVD Speed (disc quality) @4X scan speed.

If scanning with a Benq drive. use CD-DVD Speed (disc Quality) @8X scan speed.

Honestly I prefer benq scans to liteon, drag(mod) over at cdfreaks is big on the 1 ecc scanning interval. When you show the liteon scanning better than the nec, what I see is the liteon taking a crappy burn and using error correction to make it look better not worse. Neither show the whole truth,
just different parts of it.
Each burner should be calibrated individually for scanning speed, scan as fast
as you can and still get reliable results. My last batch of TYG02's has a few
marginal disks, I am scanning with "quick scan" modified to try and catch more of them. It's about being practical, or time efficient.

What is your idea of taking the nec to do 1 ecc scans?

[Chewy]

ok, but I would go the other way myself getting liteon to match nec and benq
