I've no desire to use Ritek....looking forward to the Ricoh's though. They seem like more of a diamond in the rough to me.
You at work GM? Robbie no mic yet?

LOCOENG, GM & Rob,
Quote:
Russ IIRC the ASUS drives aren't really known for scanning. I trust the BENQ's and Litey's for scanning. You should scan at 8x and 4x respectively.
All that assuming you meant the scan speed NOT the burn speed. I've found that most of the newer drives with the newer media a 12x sweet spot for burning. I get some really good results at 16x too. I know, I know every one has been on this DON'T go over 8x and all that crap... BUT with the NEWER tech in both DVDRW's and Media the speed is greatly improved with both. To tell you the truth I haven't burned a disc below 12x the last few months. LOL. I've been getting consistent 95's and it doesn't get much better than that. :P
What the Asus drives are better that than anything else I've used when it comes to reading media, either CD or DVD! They consistently read disks other drives won't. The three pics I posted were all burned at 8x which seems to yield the best results with my 7170A. The scans were run at 10x, 8x and 4x! 10x seems to give the best results scanning, the same score as the 8x, but lower PIFs. PIEs are about the same for 10x and 8x, but at 4x scanning it gets a 0!
Since I can't flash the 7170A with new firmware, I guess I'll burn my disks at 8x from now on. I'd been burning at 12x and the results are not as good as burning at 8x, at least till I can get a 7200A.
Rob,
I don't like the F16s either. The quality goes up and down with the scans like a yo-yo, while the Verbs are consistently 95!
Thanks guys,
Russ

Yeh at work buddy. :) Sorry have to make some money some how... hehehe. :P
I agree!!! I just love saying that.... lol. Anyway... I'm NO fanboy of RITEK at all... NOT crap media but not as good as RicohJpn, TY, MCC, or some of the CMC MAG stuff I use... Yep... go ahead and fry me for saying that... BUT I've noticed a definite improvement in the CMC MAG stuff or the burners are doing better with it... you take your pick!! :P

if i may quote the long lost JoeRyan.
its not as much of the media(cmc mag) being bad quality its the drives being more compatible with the media. so looking at it the way JoeRyan has stated, id say the drives are getting better with reading the so called lower grade media.
and another quote, from a 80's song.
"dont know what ya got till its gone"

Yep JoeRyan is a smart cookie. ;)
I'm posting a couple from the AD-7200A. :) I flashed with Liggy's 1.06 f/w and set the DVD+R (all discs) to bitset to DVD-ROM!!! Easy Peasy as Mr. LOCO would say. :D
IMGBURN @ 12X and you can see the scanner. :P
burned with PowerDVD (new feature on #7 or something like that.... lol)
12X burn and you can see what scanned it and what speed. ;)

Here's some more.. :) I NEED to DEFRAG!!! :-(
L@@K at these MID's. :) A little different and NOT what you guys would consider A list. lol. I like the AM3's from CMC MAG... they're not that bad and the Jitter seems to be holding up pretty well. I've watched a few of them and NO problems to report as of yet.

The problem with Nero is it doesn't show the actual burn speed...only what you selected. Run four instances of Imgburn and screenshot them eh?

You could try from the same ISO, but I imagine the HDD's wouldn't conk out trying to read from the same file.

OD branded RicohJpn R03 on 203b; 215L; 7200S @16X respectively...
The last burn/scan locked up while I was burning on the 7200 with Imgburn and scanning with my Litey with CDSpeed. I had to kill CDSpeed via Task Manager.

I guess I forgot to scan this one on the Sammy.... :P
I can safely say that the Pioneer 215 likes these discs the best and also the last scan there of the Pioneer was burned at the same time as the 203B running two instances of Imgburn.

You know I didn't make any burns with the Litey, I need to do what before passing judgement with the Ricoh's.

Interesting scans rob. How many burns of the Ritek R05s do you have on each drive, about the same?
