Burn Quality Debate

[Chewy]

Let's open this subject up for debate

To me the primary factor involved is the media(blanks) used.

other factors would or might be burner, firmware, burn speed, miscellaneous stuff (like power supply and multitasking) and burn software.

any personal experiences?

Software would play a big factor i believe, as far as the compression ratio

but that wouldn't be burn quality related

ps: long time mill, missed you

Ok ,sorry i was think picture quality. I guess there be to many things involed there.

I agree,,,media and burn speed is a BIG one.

seen hundreds of posts about this and the results where these two 80%
of the time.....$.02

And the other 20 % is DMA and firmware related!

I wouldn't leave burner out of it

good media burn speed wont change much unless 16x or 2.4 x

I think another one would be "Multi tasking" wile burning, don't do it.......

good point when everything else is right, 4x thru 12x all works
exception, my nec 3550 does not like 12X

WOw i would never even think about burning at 12X,

my NERO scans take a sh*t anything over 8X with TY's and a 3540........

I did a little testing of tyg02 and 12x with my nec 3540, it never did as well as at 8x and that was when it was new, but firmware may have improved.

When i backup i got all day so 4x to 8x works for me

In a few cases 12x is the best speed to burn at, I just burned a disk at 12x with my nec 3540, up to 2.4 gig I had a 99 with pif ~50, when 12x kicked in, I jumped to over 5600 PIF in 1.2 more gigs.
