Burn Quality Debate

[daman]

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.

Hmmm........i'll have to try it and do a scan

only a single digit, like 97 to 98 ect and 1-2 saving time

I think the biggest factor in things is the quality of the media, because without quality media no matter what else plays into it you still have an end result of less than what you wanted. Now if only they would make some premium dl media.

after experiences with ritekgo5's - i agree
as i saw on my 8x sony's - 8x and 6 x burns got better results then the 4x ones!
lets say that a good cooperation of a 1st class media your burner likes + speed both media and burner are best at
a lot of testing is envolved in all of this
