Im new to buring and was wondering what do QS and PIF stand for.

QS = Quality Score = some calculation of the quality based on the number of errors read on the DVD (as well as its jitter).
PIF = Parity fail errors = read errors that the error correction code (essentially parts of the sector that act as "checksums") can't correct.

Thank you for the response. Also is there a way to ensure highest QS with lowest PIFs (as im assuming the lower the better)?Comment

Buy top quality media. Ensure your firmware is up to date and your DMA is on.
Read and implement the Golden Rules of Burning.
