Nice review, thanks MegaDETH

*CDan* · 18-02-2008

Never mind.

*cd pirate* · 19-02-2008

Hmm, have to applaud you for the large amount of media you have used in the tests.

May I ask - is the extremely spikey jitter line a side effect of the Blu Ray drive's method of writing, or does that liteon make jitter look spikey?

For example, this jitter line is quite spiked up throughout - do other scanning drives show similar patterns?

**MegaDETH** · 19-02-2008

"MY" Lite-On DH20A3P does have a tendency to read jitter like this but more so reading the LG GGC-H20L's discs.

I will have to rescan a few discs with another drive and compare the results.

Maybe this is more accurate at reading jitter or maybe it's a bum drive?

Thanks for your question cd pirate, I will look into this.

Mega, would you scan that disc with your BenQ so we can compare all three Jitter presentations? Thanks

*SamuriHL* · 20-02-2008

Great drive. I love it. I'm glad LG isn't giving up supporting HD DVD!

**MegaDETH** · 20-02-2008

Will do later today Kip

Sorry I rescanned the wrong disc before

Here is the correct one BenQ scanned, will post the other Lite-on scan when it's done.

**MegaDETH** · 21-02-2008

Same disc as above and from the review...

*cd pirate* · 21-02-2008

Interesting, the 20A3P shows a much more wavy jitter line than the other drives. I'm guessing if a burn showed steady flat lines on all drives, it'd have to be a good burn jitter wise

**MegaDETH** · 21-02-2008

I don't know why the 20A3P is showing such wavy jitter. Might have to replace it.
