Got freaking Mid Terms in a couple weeks, Research paper's, study guide's, literature reviews, and I'm trying to meet some females in between all that. God I feel like a bitch complaining, I mean I'm only taking 9 credits. Most of you probably work full time, go to school, and/or have kids to support.

Yeah no offense Bleiss2, but midterms at a University are a lot harder than they are in HS. You can't really compare the two. DDP warned you to resize your sig in another thread, by the way. I'm not trying to give you a hard time, just don't want to see you get banned for something silly like an oversized sig. Cheers!

No partying, a lot of caffeine, and all nighters. Been there done it, and it can wear you out. Good luck ;)

Yup, no partying, no social life, a ton of all nighters, no sleep, and constant rejection by the fairer sex. That sums up my college experience lol.

Well I was on the 12 pack a day tuition plan, that didn't work out well. I quit drinking three years ago, now it's all about studying, late nights, and of course PS2 modding lol.

i think i got my answer somewhere in this thread , but i still gotta ask to be sure . when i run Nero cd dvd speed to check the quality of a disc do i set the speed to scan the same number as i burned the actual movie . for example i burned the fog at 8x speed on my benq 1655 . when i run nerocdvdspeed do i scan the quality at 8x also . this is probaly a dumb question , but i am a noob . thanx

I've always scanned with a BenQ at 8x and with a Lite-On at 4X. It shouldn't matter which speed you burned the disc at. BenQ drives (mine at least) scan well at 8x. My Lite-On will show more errors at 8X, so I generally scan at 4X with it.

@frankvega

I don't have the BenQ (maybe my next burner), so I can't comment on that part. However, I do have the Toshiba and SONY DRU 710A (a rebadged SOHW 1633S) and I've always scanned at the speed that I burned them with. And Yes... I get better results when scanning them at the actual burning speed. Maybe it's just my drive only, other members may have different preferences.

ok, I'm learning it makes a big difference what media I burn with - while I'm waiting for some good disks to come in the mail, I've been trying to go back and look at some of the crap I've burned.

I've got a real obvious question - I just downloaded Nero CD DVD Speed to take a look at my coasters, but on the Disk Quality Tab, I can't use the Start button - What gives? Am I missing something incredibly easy here. All of the other tabs, like the Benchmark and Scandisk work, but not the Disk Quality Tab.

Yeah, like cyprusrom said maybe your burner is not supported. Out of curiosity, what kind of burner (brand/model) do you have?
