Who said LGs couldn't DQ Scan?

[soup]

I found this out purely by accident & opening my big mouth instead of researching. Apparently if you unblock, the LG GSA-H55N will do a Disc Quality Scan. As I found out, a good scanner, no, but a scanner none the less. The disc, (who cares) was burned with SH-S203B SB01-2 FB FR @8X (not mine). Here are the pics.

Excuse my continuing ignorance, but what do you mean by "unblock?"

[Chewy]

the author wisely blocked certain writters in the registry since they were such bad scanners, now if soup had scanned that disk with a good scanner(liteon or benq) we could have some sort of baseline to compare to

that lg drives uses the panasonic chipset, unlike several other lg drives

I am sorry, all I got is:

My Sammy:

Sammy,

Sammy,

The sun shines east, the sun shines west,

I know where the sun shines best--

Sammy,

My little Sammy,

My heartstrings are tangled around Alabammy.

I'm comin',

Sorry that I made you wait.

I'm comin',

Hope and trust that I'm not late, oh oh oh

Sammy,

My little Sammy,

I'd walk a million miles

For one of your smiles,

My Sammy! Oh oh oh...

[Chewy]

best to just leave the lg blocked banned etc from pie scanning

[soup]

I concur.

So same disc as post #1, post above scanned with the 203B @8X, this one scanned with the 182D @8X.

Gee, I'd like to try it though - does it work on the 4163B? And how to "unblock"?

Regards

[Chewy]

the 4163B uses the renesas chipset

[blutach]

Which doesn't scan?

Regards

[Chewy]

maybe I was mininformed, but afaik that chipset reports no data back for pie/f's

the panasonic might as well not either from what I can see

no error measurement would be better than bad error measurement

[soup]

Same disc, but scanned with Lite-ON DVDRW SHM-165H6S HSOE (ext) @8X. BTW I tried my H62N, no go.

[blutach]

I just wanna know what registry key needs changing to unblock the LGs and I'll experiment for myself.

@Soup, how did you do it?

Regards

[Chewy]

H62N another renesas chipset

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ahead\Nero Toolkit\CD Speed\CD Quality]

"Blocked"="HL-DT-ST,PLEXTOR"

[soup]

Don't forget to leave something in there, like PLEXTOR or it won't work at all.

BTW, thanks for the link Chewy. It looks like there are a few LGs that would scan badly.
