Out of interest I get different results with the Lite-on 166S compared to the 165H. The 165H generally reports higher error rates especially at the end of the disk. The 166S reports lower errors on the same disk. I tried 3 different 166S drives in the same machine with the same disk and the results were very consistent. It may be a dodgy 165H drive, I will see if I can find another 165H to test with.

SVCD4ME:

I too use a Toshiba SD-R5002. How did you get KProbe to work? I tried for awhile before coming to the believe that it only worked on LiteOn drives? If I'm mistaken, please help me. What exactly did you do to get it to work?

"...written with Instant CD+DVD on Toshiba SD-R5002..."


@abbadon,

I think SVCD4ME said he "wrote" his disks with his Toshiba, not that he used his Toshiba to run K's Probe. I don't know where you live, but I picked up my 166S for about US$35 at a computer fair nearby. That's a pretty cheap investment to have K's Probe at your fingertips plus if you only had a burner before, you now could read from the LITEOn and burn with your burner.

Cheers,
leisuredoc

Thats right leisuredoc, I wrote with Toshiba SD-R5002 and used my LiteOn 163 for the K-probe. Sorry for the confusion abbadon.

PI Sum 8

Kprobe 1.1.20

Karr has added the feature to select the # of consecutive ECC Blocks for PI/PO summation. PI Sum 8 measurement is finally possible. Though still no PIF/POF, but nevertheless excellent work.

Thanks for the clarification.

Perhaps we should start a thread archiving these results? For example, I'd love to see SVCD4ME's Princo and Ritek results on his SD-R5002 drive, but the links are dead now. Any ideas?

If you would like to see the results for PI and PO on Ritek, DVDPro (Princo), and Matrix check out this post, 16th thread down

I don't have the new version so there is no PI Sum 8.

I am observing the exact same phenomenon with my 165H and 166S drives. I think the 166S is just a better DVD reader.

Is this an acceptable result if the disc is being used in just computers and not standalone players?

But does it play on your standalone?

@THT,

My fussy Sony standalone (DVP-NS300) would play that all the way through.

My experience with K's Probe: if it stops with an "unrecoverable read error," it will stop at about the same location in the standalone. I have seen some pretty ugly K's Probe results and somehow they make it to the end in this Sony.

BTW - your result reminds me of a Princo or Optodisc. Am I close?

Sure, I'm much better walking at 1X than than running at 8X. Do you know why the doctor puts you on a treadmill for a heart stress test than having you sit in a chair?

Yes I did LocalH, but I wanted to stay in the right category....."CD burning and Measuring DVD write quality". Where should I have put it?

I was hoping someone would tell me if my burn was good or not.

This was my first time to post the results of a burn.....and only my 3rd burn!

Do you have an opinion on the results of my burn?

In the DVD Burning forum in its own post, not in a sticky. Your attachment will probably never get approved here. Instead, host it someplace like www.imageshack.us and provide a link to it here.

I know you don't like responses of this sort, but "The only way to tell if the burn is truly successful or not is if it plays properly all the way through" is a truthful one.

Responses like this are totally acceptable CWR03, I appreciate you folks helping me learn about computers, hardware, and software.

You'll never hear me complain about anything in this forum.

What you said about the burn however was right on.....that's what it boils down to.....does it work.
