Nows seems everyone in Optical forum become Kprobe and Disc Quality testers...lol ok i compile a list for all [noobs] alike
Dun understand how to read graph then go to links to read up and understand...

Before doing any of these test Pls take note of the below :
*Drives must not be on PCI IDE card
*If NForce base board use only WIndows IDE drivers
*use 80 pin IDE cable
*set jumpers correctly
*Power to drive pls do not share it with more than 3 device...
*Last but not least use good media....and dun burn 3 - 4 pcs and conclude no good...any statictician will tell you SAMPLE SIZE too SMALL....not conclusive!!..( FYI I have burnt nearly 40 pcs of DVDs on each my first 3 drives ..makes a total of nearly 100dvds...)
*Make sure your OS drive has more than 5GB of HDD space....when doing burning!!
*Dun Burn data from a USB drive and say Burn time cannot meet...fiak...this simple thing you better know...

*Fiak better read properly which drive can use kprobe which drive can use cdspeed....TDK1616 users...too bad...go buy a BenQ1620 or TDK 1612

Alphebatical Order (click link to go to homepage)

CDSpeed :
For BenQ DW1620 drives with firmware B7N9 and above only....


DVDINFOPro


Kprobe
For LiteOn Based DVD writers only...ex TDK1208 , TDK1612DLB , All Liteon Based DVD writers


Basically this are all you need to test test your burn quality.....of course stable system and ide connection is a must must....must not forget Nero....got ppl here still use Nero 5.5 and ask why dvd cannot...kaoz..

[dreamer75]

one qn...

how does the tools fared when compared against each other?

CD Speed vs DVDINFOpro vs Kprobe?

which shows more accurate results?

 

[eleewhm]

to each its own..if you use kprobe try to keep your measurment tool consistent...that is the rule of GR&R...if you know what it means GR&R....

In the 1st post it was rec that to have Nero 6.6.
My qns is i have Nero Express 6.3(OEM), what difference is there?

 

[eleewhm]

that is express you have....no difference...it is just rec to have 6.6....most prefer full not the express version....

 

[Exodus79]

that is express you have....no difference...it is just rec to have 6.6....most prefer full not the express version....

Oh yes, one more thing when i check the info of the nero i have, it says Version 6.3.1.10 TDK -- Can this be used on a BenQ1620?

Would this version of nero work with the other tools you guy use(i.e nero CD Speed, DVDinfo Pro etc..)?

Thanks.
