ok , i know everyone has jumped on the 111d and verbatim bandwagon but...

i want to see some scans ,

-you can scan for pi/po errors only if your drives firmware supports it,
-you can use nero cd/dvd speed or the dvdinfopro
-limit the read to 4x with dvdinfo and 5x on neros cd/dvd speed

post the
-burner model
-firmware used
-"media code" of the dvd
-speed burned with
-the screenshots of the scans

there are free image hosting sites where you can post the images ,

not a bad idea... but windows wont recognize the backups will it?

WinbonD · « **Reply #2 on:** August 04, 2006, 08:32:00 PM »

no , windows wont recognise the backup , but you can still do the error scans on the dvds ,

i did 4 different scans today , it takes a while ,

i dont want to post mine yet because first i have to find out if the backups will work in the 360,

havent flashed the xbox yet , im waiting for the new garyopas firmware

ill be playing xbox live, so ill give it a shot with a working backup

edit: sorry.. have to wait, my drive isnt being recognized atm... pc issues, i think i have too many devices for my power supply.

ok , i only have 2 different types of dvds for testing ,

ritek media is crap , i used 3 different firmwares with 3 different writing strategies for dvd+r9
and all the burns are just crap,

verbatim on the other hand is close to perfect ,

ok so i have
-NEC 3520
-firmware liggydee 3.07, also used 3.06 and 3.05 for ritek testing
-verbatim dvd+rDL 2.4x mkm 001 , "fujifilm" dvd+rDL 2.4x ritek d1 001
-all burned @ 2.4x, all set to dvd-rom booktype
-all scans done using the 3.07 firmware

verbatim mkm 001, firmware 3.07,very good quality burn , nero score 94, dvdinfopro score 94.60

Ritek d1 001 , firmware 3.07, terrible burn, nero score 46, dvdmedia score 0.0

ritek d1 001, firmware 3.06, i guess dvdinfo refused to scan the second layer for
Pi errors

ritek d1 001. firmware 3.05

so there you have it,

ill post more if i get a hold of some other media ,

so you lazy bums with the allmighty 110, 111d post some scans of the media that you are using

I would've posted scans if I had a good drive to scan with. However I don't so I simply stick to testing them out and if they work good its a good backup...

Your scans however are not visible, get another imagehost...

not visible? the images load for me just fine , anyone else not seeing it??

there is already a thread about which burners and which media works with xbox 360 ,

this thread is compare the qality of the burns rather then just saying , oh this and this works

WinbonD · « **Reply #7 on:** August 07, 2006, 09:55:00 AM »

well , post some scans of your burns on riteks so we can compare it

thats a damn good burn ,i have to give you that

but

ritek media is bad in general ,

there is few burners that can produce good quality burns with them,

i know my dvd burner cant write to them , why do you think i tried 3 different firmwares?

because the burn quality mostly depends on write strategy , and those firmwares i tried have different strategies for writing dvd+r9,

anyways , my NEC 3520 just got retired ,

111d is on the way

post more scans people

* a little off topic*

Everyone bashes Ritek media and says it's complete crap. On the GCN scene its another story. Ritek G04 and G05 are pretty much the only media that will work in a gamecube.

I have to lean toward the previous posters comments about media/burner compatibility. I've got a sony DRU-810A which is a re-badged benq, and will be getting my 111d later today, the only DL I've got at the moment are some 10x Verb's, I plan to pick up a smorgasboard of other media and check the quality of the burns.

I'm not going to skimp on media and put uneccesary wear on the 360 drive.

My .02, will post my findings later on.

This should prove an interesting topic, to say the least.

aggybong , you forgot to mention the burner and firmware you used ,

im gonna post some scans of ritek and verbatims made with 111d flashed to 111l ,

the ritek backups dont look much better than my nec burns , but at least now they work on the 360

ILLusions0fGrander · « **Reply #13 on:** August 10, 2006, 06:45:00 PM »

this doesnt look good, but it got here and stopped almost.. i was running a lot of stuff in the background, reinstalling a lot of progs after new Mobo install... but here it is:

pioneer 111d with 1.23 fw
verb 2.4x

WinbonD · « **Reply #14 on:** August 10, 2006, 07:10:00 PM »

as you can prabably see from your picture ,

the 111d does not work properly with the cd/dvd speed yet
