Thanks a lot for the codeguy that he is doing great things like modifiying
CG3B firmware and improving DVD+R writing quality.

And here is my work for optmizing DVD-R Quality for :

- Princo 4X DVD-R Data/Video (Princo Corporation Made)
- Verbatim 4X DVD-R (Mitsubishi Chemicals Made)

After spending around 40 Media's for each brand above.Here are the awesome results :

Princo DVD-R Results :



Verbatim DVD-R Results :



Here is the download link for CG3B DVD-R Optimized :

CG3B DVD-R Optimized

Things done in summary :

- Princo 4X DVD-R Writing Quality improved a lot
- Verbatim 4X DVD-R Writing Quality improved a lot
- Princo DVD-R 6X Writing Support without much quality loss (PI=16 , PIF=2)

Take care all

And one other thing i forgot to mention.

Some guy opened a topic like "DVD+R is better than DVD-R"

Nonsense totally.

As can be seen above from the K-Probe Results, it's just about Writing Strategies nothing else.

If correct Writing Strategy is used for DVD-R Media than it will be written as
much perfect as a DVD+R.

Regards

Looks great, it's nice to see DVD-R getting some support

Any chance of looking at FUJIFILM03 strategies? There seem to be a few of us having problems with these disks in liteons.

As soon as i find these disks.i will work on these too :P

But let me say that in Omnipatcher program Auto Tweak settings
dont always give good results, i dont know why.

If you have 50 DVD-R's it' much better to try each Writing strategy :P
and find the best writing strategy for your media

I´m sure all of us know how to use OmniPatcher.

Something i would like to inform you about.

Writing Quality in a DVD-R or DVD+R Media is just not always enough
for reading your recorded DVD's around.

My Experience : Despite written perfectly ,Verbatim 4X Media,was refused
to be read by Toshiba DVD-Rom.Because the situaiton is not just PI ve PIF
levels.its also Reflectivity of the media.

Princo DVD-R 4X Data/Video Media is much better than Verbatim 4X DVD-R
Media's both in terms of Reflectivity and Writing Quality.

I strongly recommend with the Liteon DVD-R Tweaked firmware above with
Princo 4X DVD-R Data/Video.

Regards

what did you change to optimize it?

yea, what write strategy did u use for princo? although i don't use princo's anymore, the results seem really good compared to the time i burnt princos.

Very questionable... I can send you AT LEAST 5 Princos, that lost COMPLETELY their dye in 6 or 7 dots, only a couple of days after they were burnt. One of those was completely ruined by a SINGLE reading on a stand-alone DVD player (yes, the player works ABSOLUTELY well). Never happened this to any of DVD-/+R I used 'til now. Even AML-coded DVD-Rs burn MUCH better than Princos, and their parameters seem to be better than Princos

Whats worrying me most is the lack of information and the namening of firmware. Same as c0deguys CG3B. The link has been up for some time now and I have hard to believe he got c0deguys approval.


Where are c0deguys. I think we have to rattle the cage.

Or at least have specific details on the "improvements" made to -R burning.

Sorry if that sounds a bit harsh but your mcc 01 rg 20 Scan for a SOHW-832S is bad O.o (especially the curve on the start)
The Princo looks good.

woelts,

I simply changed writings strategies for these medias.

Princo ----> Princo8X02
Verbatim ---> TYG02

Sorry, my mistake - being slow today. You have explained yr improvements. Not applicable to me as I don't use these media, but a good attempt to improve -R burns.
But agree with below - cannot call it "improved CG3B".

That "work" was done by c0deguys and Omnipatcher.
With help of Omnipatcher, and can be done by whoever.

I advise you again, kindly terminate the link. To my knowledge you don´t have any approval for linking. Se also my post above

If you would like to spend 50 DVD Medias for nonsense go ahead and do it.otherwise
keep quiet.

And I already send 2 PM's to codeguys.

Who changes the write strategy for Verbatim media with mcc media codes ? loooool
Sorry but i dunno why that should help mcc 01/02 rg 20 are working fine with the most SOHW-832S Drives.

clany,

I am not a noob.I know what i am doing.

Verbatim Media's are fine of course but note that reflectivity of these
media's causes some Dvdrom drives to not to identify the media.

Toshiba SD-C2502 Dvdrom refused to read Verbatim media.

any other ideas ?

lite-on 851s@832 >cg3b no write strat changes
here is a k-probe scan of dvd-r media = datawrite fujifilm03>8x,media written @4x.
seem to be havin some good results with this media so far,also datasafe g04s
pi max=45 pif max=9

Completely OT while we wait for jacen9's scans... - s-on-t uk?
Stockton-On-Tees?

sorry cant up load scan of g04 for some reason, its in png . but not avin any lol stoke-on-trent

See it fine now, well Fuji anyway! Not bad...
Stoke_On_Trent - bloody obvious really@Q
Attached G04, on CG3B.

Intensecure,are you using DVD-R Optimized or Codeguys DVD+R Only optimized firmware ?

this should have no influence as you told you changed writing strategies for mcc01RG20 and princocrap media. He's using Fujifilm.

and, as you've not tweaked a firmware but applied two strat tweaks, you should rather post your strategy tweaks on the changing wiriting strategies thread.

and, just my opinion, but jacen9 and Intensecure scans are a bit OT in this clueless thread

thanks for the reply.

But why he posted a Ritek result here then ?

it has nothing to do with DVD-R Tweaked CG3B.
