Just wondering if anyone has any experience with this;
For a given media type/speed, does one writer burn better than the other? Better can mean whatever you want, but might also imply that the DVD will last longer or be more compatible in more machines, etc.
????

Someone will now doubt post a link or two regarding this. My comments are general comments.
Certain media have better compatibility. Slower burn speeds generally result in better compatibility. Certain writers are known to perform better, resulting in better compatibility.
As far as lasting longer, nothing lasts forever (especially if the dog gets hold of it). Your best bet is to always use quality media, and handle/store it carefully.

No (not with RITEK 1x/2x DVD-R or Taiyo Yuden 4x DVD-R). My friend has a Pioneer 105 & I envy his burn quality. I have read that Pioneer 103/105/107 produce the highest quality burns (using DVD-R media). I wish my scans looked this good (they're almost as good). This TYG02 was burned on his Pioneer 105.

I never said that the 105s are bad. I just said that the burns on the 108s have fewer errors. I never said you should dump your 105 for a 108. If you are happy with what you have keep it. And I hate to point it out, but the scan above is not fantastic; good but hardly great. Again, if you are happy, keep it. Hardly garbage.
Still a few bugs in the system...

Go to thefirmwarepage and review scans, you'll find many excellent scans from the 108 as well; and I have seen far better scans than those posted too. Bazooka, first you make an absurd post then follow it with an audicious comment like that, I find that very ironic. I don't necessarily agree with chas0039's comment on the 105 but he seems to have given some reasonable argument while I can't see the sense in yours.
High PI errors may affect the lifespan of a disk even with low PIF's afaik, and I know first hand that high PIF's (I had a couple peaks in 30's) may play fine while a disk is new but can fail in the near future. And btw looking at someone else's scans is pertinent, or the ones posted here are moot... :P

The only difference between the 105 and others is the ability to burn both + and - and speed. The 105 was a 4x burner that would only burn dash discs.
I repeat, as long as it burns, it doesn't matter.

You cannot say one car is better than the other when they both drive you to the same location.
What matters is the media or in the car's case, it is gas.
