DVD DL Burner

[Stereodude]

I haven't used a version of Nero newer than v6. I think I have at least one Lightscribe capable burner in my PCs but I haven't ever burned one.

I returned to v.6 and that works too with the LS base app.

So David was right about the Lightscriber, as is often the case.

Heh. I bought a spindle of 15 LS CDs about 4 years ago and still have 3 left. Sharpie pen FTW.

There were 30 discs and there are about 10 left now. I will not be buying more. :lol:

You can see the striations in the lettering even at high density and best quality settings. :cyclop:

Revisiting an old thread...

My Optiarc AD-7260S burns MKM-001 (Verbatim 2.4x DL) the best out of all the bitsetting capable burners I have (NEC ND-3540A, Samsung SH-S203B, & Lite-On iHBS112). Unfortunately it seems to be flaky if it's used a lot sequentially. Perhaps something in the drive overheats mid burn, like the laser power supply, creating a frisbee. It doesn't work correctly until the whole PC is rebooted. I've only see the problem during burning. I tried a different SATA port, and checking the cables, etc. I'm guessing the drive is bad.

I an also report that burning slower isn't always better. All of the drives that support 2.4x and 4x yielded considerably worse burns at 2.4x on the 2nd layer than at 4x.

So I bought a AD-7261S because I figured my AD-7260S was bad but I liked the burn quality. Unfortunately the 7261 does the exact same thing as the 7260. If you do a few back to back burn + verifies without letting it cool down / rest between them you get a complementary frisbee.

Here's a screenshot of the error (7260):

I've never had this issue with any other burner I've used.

And, FWIW I actually bought two AD-7261S drives, so I have a 3rd one I can test that hasn't been used yet. Though admittedly, I'm not sure how many more $1 DVD+R DL frisbees I want to intentionally make.

Have you looked for a firmware upgrade for the burner?

 

[Stereodude]

Unfortunately none are available.
