Kprobe.

Dont recomend these discs at 12x at all..even though a prior scan by someone shows a near flawless burn at 12x using NEC 3500ag..I dont know how he did it.

[Fandim]

Plan to watch this movie tonight...will post back tomorrow on if it played back fine, or not. I'm having major doubts towards the end.

Sorry, just realized that Liggy/Dee's firmware just added the 12x to the MXL RG02 in their firmwares - the strategy they used to do so is NOT the same as I used, so that's why it looked better Sorry to lead you astray, I was using Quikee's Version 3 Beta 3... the discs are the same, I can assure you, they're the 4x yellow top Maxell discs with the blue color on the outside package, same ones you can buy at Wal-Mart, Office Depot, and (in Canada) at Future Shop and Best Buy.

[CanuckGod]

If you preferred the 4x burns you got on the NEC original firmware, by all means, use that, it's better to have good discs than fast discs

[Fandim]

CanuckGod - I havnt used original firmware on this drive for a single burn. Heh heh. What write strategy does quickee's use if not the MCC one that liggy's uses for RG02?

[lordsmurf]

I'm not impatient.

[Fandim]

Smurf, I know what you're saying totally.. Only time I really burn discs faster than they're rated, is when I'm testing how well they do etc for the screenshots..

I'd much rather it take 4 extra minutes, then have to return the disc, and apologize to someone for giving them a defective product.. (Main exception is TY T02 Media I do burn at 16x...but stock firmware supports that even.)

Anyway, it's fun to push your kit harder, whether it is media, a burner, a graphics card or a CPU. Nothing wrong with a bit of curiosity!

[lordsmurf]

I understand. I've blown media myself ... just for kicks.

If nothing more, it proves why write strategy is there.
