Since I can't use Kprobe and the Nero Quality test I did a transfert test like it was suggested in another topic I read.

I do have some small spikes in the speed test.

Is it good or bad???

I did the burn with a Pioneer DVR-108 and the media is a Verbatim DVD+R 8X (MCC003).

Looks good to me.
You didn't use an official firmware, eh?! ;-)

do I really have to answer that question!?!?!??!

BTW that burn was done @ 6X i think.

2 more tests...

Done with DVD-R RitekG05 with the same pioneer DVR-108.


One done @ 6x and the other @ 12X

The 6X looks good (2nd one) if the first test done was good but what about the 12X (first one)????

was the pc running anything in the background while testing? thats usually what happens when i see a pic like that. If that's the case, then i beleive they're decent burns.

Even polling another drive on the same cable can cause a blip

Yo-

All those curves look perfectly acceptable to me-

Would probably be better with antivirus turned off though-

Thanks for the input guys!

I had the anti-virus and bit torrent running in the background for sure and me browsing while testing

Yo-

Burning is very CPU usage intensive-

Best burns occur when antivirus turned off and the 'puter left alone while burnin' (and using good quality media)

Mike

when i'm burning my CPU usage is between 2% and 10% with Anti-virus and bit torrent running...

I thought it was very IO intensive not CPU.

It depends on. Sometimes the IO is CPU intensive. But you wouldn't feel much difference since you have quite a powerful CPU.

Give CD-Speed high or real-time priority in the Task Manager or other tools.

Yo-

I took my CPU intensive comment from CD-DVD Speed as shown-I consider the CPU usage of 8% to 48% as shown to be intensive-
