How do you post a pic here for a Nero Scan? I have one that will make your eyes hurt. Never Mind,I remembered.

Not for the faint of heart, Matrix Media.

Here's a good one. Couldn't even scan the whole disc, but what was scanned was plenty bad enough...

ok guys, bear with me here...i don't post up scans often, so if i mess this up, forgive me :)

i remember someone was asking me for a RitekG05 to compare to his awhile ago and i never had time to run a scan, but i found one from the beginning of this year, Jan. 2005; mind you this was burned when i had STOCK firmware on a CRAPPY piece of $hit Optorite drive/burner, so the calibration to recognize media was very poor, nevertheless my more recent RitekG05s have a quality score of 93 with only maximum of 3 PI errors~ :)



THIS particular RitekG05 from Jan. 2005 has a quality score of 84, with 5 Max PI Failures.

and here is the dreaded Princo that i promised to put up...LOL, i think the results are QUITE SURPRISING, results are not good, but i expected WORSE and it speaks VOLUMES for itself. (my older princos from YEARS back when i first started burning, the scan will NOT EVEN START, they refuse to playback even on my PC now, gives you a general idea of DYE ROT) as i can tell you i will NEVER trust Princo again for my burning purposes, but, DAMAGE and deterioration on them do not begin RIGHT AWAY as this scan proves, it's LATER down the road that this becomes apparent :)



i was afraid my pics would be too big, so that's why they are so small, my bad..but, for those that can't see it clearly, quality score on this Princo is 70, with 7 Max PI Failures :)


to tell you guys the truth, i THINK that you can get a general idea of how good the quality of the media/burn is based on these nero cd-dvd speed tests, HOWEVER, i don't put all my eggs in one basket and feel that these scans are a good GENERAL indication, but depending on WHAT DRIVE you burned them with, you WILL get varying results...for instance, my older pioneer drive that i burned this Princo with recently (for my wife's family member that GAVE ME THE BLANK PRINCO to burn for him), the scans are not quite that bad considering the quality of the Princo discs are far from being "good"; not good enough for MY PERSONAL collection, but i've SEEN worse w/ CMC MAG and *cough* TDK CRAP *cough* LOL

anyways, i'll put up one of my FAMOUS Taiyo Yuden TYG01s scans later...seems like EVERYONE else posts their 8x dvd+r YUDEN000T02 scans which are GREAT by the way, but i thought i'd be a little different and post up a 4x dvd-r TY that i guess FEW people use nowadays as they are becoming much more rare~ :) i still got over a thousand of them in storage, so, i STILL DO USE THEM and have FULL faith in them to THIS DAY~ :) Taiyo Yuden ROCKS!

docTY~
