Well, lets get the models stright: Pioneer 110 or a NEC 4550 are the latest drives with no LightScribe. If you are using TYG02 discs go with the Pioneer 110. Pioneer is the KING of the -R media !!!

I actually found Pioneer drives are now better with +R; the drive I see as best for -R is the LG 4163. Given your two choices I would go with the NEC as there is much more support here. Either one will do a decent job with TYG02 but if you want truely outstanding results, switch to TY +R 8X, YUDEN000 T02.

What is LightScribe?, in what does it affect the drive/media?

And for the +r recomendation...
You saying that if i use +r TY02 Media i could get better results? (8x TY02 DVD+R)

In addition, the BenQ DW1640 does a great burn with TYG02 also. Only problem is finding one now...

LightScribe is a process that allows a burner to write graphics to the top surface of discs. It should have no effect on the burn quality on the other side.

I am saying, based on my results with TYG02 and YUDEN000 T02 in LG, BenQs, NECs, Liteons, and Pioneers, that the results were uniformly better with YUDEN000 T02 burned at 8X. I found one exception in the TYG02 burned at 4X in the LG 4163 A103.

In no way were the results on the TYG02 un-playable or bad. The YUDEN000 T02 were just significantly better. Given that I found the price to be only a couple of dollars more per 100, I switched over to the +R.

Akutsito · 17-12-2005

Theres no TYG02 for +r? theyire Yuden000 t02?

Ill buy a couple of +R to check the Media Info

DVR-110 or 3550A, is that what you mean?

Akutsito · 17-12-2005

If you read a bit you'll figure out... :P
Yes that's what i meant...

*_chef_* · 17-12-2005

Ahem, I asked with a reason.

Read your topic title, then read some posts.

It's not clear which drive you really mean, at least to me.

Akutsito · 18-12-2005

I don't see how hard is to get...
My Nec 3540A was approved to be replaced
And i can change it for one of this 2 drives...
Easy or hard?

*_chef_* · 18-12-2005

Hehe, anyway. I've read it too fast. Sorry.

A DV110 doesn't exist, nor a 35550A.

Akutsito · 18-12-2005

Hell, i palced an extra 5 :P, and if you could think a bit more, you would figure out its DVR110 and 3550A :P

*etp* · 18-12-2005

110D/1640/3550(same as 4550)/1693 will be good to go!
1640 and 110 have a slight edge! Very slight!
Enjoy your Christamas man!

Akutsito · 19-12-2005

Thanks, ill stick with 3550A

*_chef_* · 19-12-2005

BTW, 3551 & 4551 are now available.

Akutsito · 19-12-2005

Thanks for the info, ill try to be updated..., also, ill post some screens of the Nero thingy when i get my things back (Wed now... ¬¬), to see if the drive is performing okay, i still can't get the terminology of this area... :P
