Rob,
State Sales Tax. Everything that's sold here is taxed here, even if ordered from out of state. Most States have agreements with other states to collect the tax!

We don't have a sales tax in oregon. I think that property tax may have something to do with that. But I'm not into politics in the slightest! I imagine the Moderators aren't into politics either ;) At least not in this thread LOL!

I have no idea the outcome yet. If 8X works, I'll smile, that's about it LOL! The package itself says "Up to 6X". And that write strategy may be different than the 003 discs. If 6X works well, I may just allow that. But trusting 8X full time, just seems stupid. It would probably be much like burning a TYG02 at 16X all the time. I might try it with an optiarc too. Don't know. Dual layer Dvd's are still expensive to be throwing away ;)
Looks like the LH-20A1S may not be up for 8X. It just backed itself off to 6X. Which doesn't save that much time anyway. And now it backed itself off to 4X! It almost looks like the 8X write strategy progressively speeds up, and then on the second layer, it progressively slows down. I'm thinking 6X may be the magic number. After some serious testing of course LOL!

LH-20A1S 8X MKM 001(Verb Dual Layer 2.4X). Completion time roughly 17min. It looks like it averaged closer to 6 - 6.5X. Definitely not bad considering. Seems to play good, for the areas that I viewed. I'll likely rip the file to Harddisk, and attempt to play THAT back. If it plays well, then I have a good backup ;) I'll only be doing 6X in the future though :p

you can't get a much better score with any media. Those CMCmags are fine. I'm not afraid of giving those away to family.

Here I thought the Ad7220s was dead, when it was only half dead. It won't read, write, or address any -R, but it will read and write +Rs. Rather well too! Strange!
Did I say I was loving the new 16x +R Verbs! Burned at 12x, scanned at 2x

I think my CMC MAG's are fine(DataWrites). I haven't had one coaster. One of them had questionably high Errors, but the player was ok with it. What that amounts to is higher compatibility in the last few years. Players are ok with the cheaper media now. Though my moms BD player has hiccuped a few times, while playing Ricoh Media(Falcon + R DL). It seemed to adapt though. Perhaps it somehow increased the intensity of the beam? It is a samsung. Most of Samsungs technology is hands down awesome! ;)
LOL Russ! My iHAP422 acted EXACTLY Like that before I retired it to reading only. Now I don't trust it for anything...

Oman7,
Oh, I trust it to read and write OK, but I don't know for how long. It simply refuses to address any -R DVDs, no matter what speed they are. Burns well (obvious by the scan), and reads well. I have no plans for it beyond replacement!
The Lite-Ons were shipped today! I've got the Pioneer (another Litey) sold, the AD-7240s is going in Oxi-II, and the 2 Lite-Ons are going in mine!

GM,
Sure thing. Here they are, pretty much what I expected. It always scanned better at 8x than it did at 4x. I don't see a lot of difference regardless of the scan speed. I would be happy if I had those results every time! LOL!! Good Scans!

Ha ha! Nero 10 comes out april 12th. I could be into that, if I like the HD features that come with ;) I'd like to add menus to my AVCHD movies, but am uncertain how to do that thus far. I'm still searching, but nero has always been a favored program of mine ;)

Thanks Russ.. that was my point in having you do the scans at 4x and 8x. I think the difference is minimal and therefore a person could use 8x with overall certainty that it's a valid "scan". :)

garmoon,
Yes, I quite agree. It's not worth the 23 minutes or so that it takes to scan at 2x. I've only done a couple of those. The first one just happened to be a 98. My particular 7220s never did scan that good at 4x. I always used to burn the +R 16x Verbs at 12x, and scanned at 8x. The thing that's weird is that it refuses to address the -Rs. You can't burn or play them on that drive, yet it does a beautiful job with the +Rs.
Oh well, I just got the pair of Lite-On's this morning. I'll be installing at least one, shortly! LOL!!

Russ

GM,
What I've done so far is toss it in the bin! I think the chip itself is bad. The last time I successfully burned a -R, you couldn't burn faster than 2.4. Right after that it wouldn't recognize -R at all. You couldn't play them or burn them because the drive no longer saw them. The speed gradually went from 16x to 12x, to 8x, to 6x, to 4x and finally 2.4x. Then it just quit playing -Rs.
I'm disappointed that the new ihas 124 04 is the same chip as the Optiarc AD-7240s. It's different mechanically, but it's NEC chipped! You can't measure jitter! Here's the first burn and scan. Burned at 12x, Scanned at 5x. Not bad for a first burn at all!
Best Regards,
Russ

I was told the chip was MediaTech and that it could do jitter. I don't remember whether it was CD freaks or one of the others, but I asked and that's what I got back for an answer! The drive burns very well, as you can see.
