Oman7,
Since we're doing oldies, here's one over three years old, that gets played a lot when the kids come, both mine and Russell's! It's stored in an Imation Disc Stakka. This was burned at 12x on an Emprex 16x DVD Burner and scanned on my 7220, still in the new machine. Not bad at all for a DVD this old, that's seen a lot of use!
Those Sony/Yuden's stand up pretty good!

Yes, the Yudens definitely have my vote! They are without a doubt the best ive used yet! Though the TYG02 Silver printables were also good. VERY good. Their scans were extremely similar.

16X TYG03 Via Sammy B(SH-S223Q)
Well...I can see im gonna have to bust this drives butt today, LOL! Usually 16X burns yield the best quality amongst my drives. This one got worse. It could simply be that it needs to rip more discs, or it could simply be that its not as good as its twin drive. Time will tell. I'll have it rip multiple discs today, to see what happens.
I suppose its buffer is looking pretty erratic as well!!!

Got my new Optiarc Sony 7240S(no mention of NEC on drive-the 7200S had Optiarc-Sony-NEC.) Put it in did one burn at 16X performed quietly and had a 95 score going when I terminated test and took it out and put it back in the box. You CANNOT set the booktype of +R discs to DVD-ROM, it comes with DVD+DL set as DVD-ROM---strange. I'll wait for Liggy and Dees to write the hacked firmware to change +R booktype to DVD-ROM. So far not disappointed. CDRLabs thread I found had it burning a SL disc @24X in under 4 minutes. JM2C I may play with it more this weekend.

Cincyrob,
Quick drive question! Do I need to do anything with the firmware on my new 7220s drives?

Russ you might look for the "Settings Utility" from CDF and see if it will allow you to set the drive. IF NOT then try using IMGBURN and the booktype feature and see if it will under the different tabs the drive could/should be. You know like Sony, NEC, LITEON... and so on. ;)

That's the thing it's set to booktype now! Both Imgburn and Nero show it as booktyped already???

Yeh I'm sure of that but will it BOOKTYPE all DVD+R media? I'm thinking it comes from the factory for DVD+R DL only, but NOT 100% sure. :)

It seems to bootype all +R media, because that's all I use. I think I've burned maybe 10-12 -Rs, and they were freebies! I'll have to ask Rob about that because he's got one with the same firmware I have. I know the older firmware only did +R DL, but I'm not 100% certain. Nero says it does, and so does Imgburn.
BTW! How do you find your way around CDF? Trying to find anything there if you don't know where to look is amazingly difficult. I couldn't find a thing on the 7220s at all!

Not seeing much on the 7220 myself at CDF! But for future reference, an appropriately worded google search, will yield cdfreak forum/threads regarding burners, hardware, etc. I only saw 2 different threads regarding the burner. Rob was involved with at least one of the 2 :D

@ gm (are you being replace as your ceo??
You are correct it(7240) will booktype +R DLs out of the box, but not +Rs yet. They are working on it according to CD freaks. Could not bit set in ImgBurn or Decrypter or Nero.
Here's the scan from virgin burn

http://club.cdfreaks.com/f86/optiarc-ad-7220a-254666/
theres a link to the 7220S at CDF some good info there. the 7220A/S isnt to well liked cause its not a true NEC, and nota liteon per say. liggy & dee said theey wasnt gonna mess with itcause its not a true sony/optaric/nec. and codeking said he would try somehtng with it once he had one but not being a "liteon" hes in no rush... but im sure someone will work on it
you have the 1.01fw in it now i wouldnt change a thing. OH and i remember now id did use smartburn(liteon tool) to auto set bitsetting when i opend it up it showed the 7220S as a drive it could work with.
@garmoon
http://club.cdfreaks.com/f86/optiarc-ad-...cussion-269788/
thats a great link for the 7240 drive. it is the only one i have found for it so far. so im sure you have found it as well.
edit:
liggy hasnt been able to crack the fw as of yet. so they are thinking we might have to wait for the first FW update to come from sony.

Here's a pic of the information on my 7220s from DVDInfoPro 530. Note that it detected the DVD to be Book Type, DVD+R. I did this burn with the 7220s on Monday using Nero. "The Ultimate Gift"! Terrific Flick!

Yeah that's the thread I read before I bought the 7240S. The fastest I can get it to write was a second burn of X20 on X16 Verb 004s +Rs. Got a whopping 18 scan score. LOL I then did a X8 on same Verb MC004 +R.The results are below. Same old 95 score but a lot more PI failures than my 7200S. Since there is no way to bit set yet, it will go on the shelf as a spare until that problem is fixed.

What do you think of Ritek Garmoon???
Here's a decent looking verb. Compared to what ive been seeing from them lately! Jitters rather odd though

I love the old Ritek 03s and 05s and Ricohjpn brand Office depot which are now defunct. I've used them for years with dvds I've done for my daughter. I can't think of but a couple of instances of the burns not playing. I would buy more if I could get them at OD. I will try their TDK brand which I think is their new store brand but labeled as TDK. They will probably be Riteks or Ricohjpns. Memorex are another option now for her. I'm hearing things said about TY media that are none to good also over at cdfreaks while I was scouting the 7240s drive out. Seems their media is not thought of as good as it once was. I'll probably wait for the sales of the TY 02s on line if I can find the 8X speed.

Ive heard the same thing about TY's! People are complaining about SMS bought TY media. NOT good! I will however continue to buy until I experience MAJOR problems myself!
Heres a 20X attempt with the SH-S223Q. It never exceeded 15.7X! The spikes of 6 and 5 dont surprise me given the burners quirk with +R's.
And it looks like it passed the CRC (scandisc) with flying colors!

That's ugly. In all fairness to the 7240S, the first three burns were all on the fly and only the 20X burn which did achieve 20X was horrible.The 16X burns on 16X media were OK to good. But I have almost all +R media and will booktype them to DVD-ROM with the 7200S until Liggy fixes that with the 7240S. So I have an excellent replacement if my other2 drives go out after the booktype problem is fixed. And the price $27 shipped was a steal.
That -R ritek I burned and scanned was NOT an on the fly burn tho and was the last since I've taken 7240S out. Whats nice about this dell case is I can change a drive in less than a minute. two latches pops out front and push new one in plug two connector snap case side on. No tools needed.

Garmoon,
I agree totally on the Riteks. I don't think I ever had a bad burn with the 03s or the 05s that I can remember. I don't know if the F16s ever got any better, but the early ones sucked, big time. You could burn a 95 and follow it with a 20 something on the very next disk! The last 05s I bought came with about 20 F16s mixed in. 8 of those failed!
