Roundup of High Speed CDRW's on 52x LiteON.

[Action Jackson]

I've been "testing" out some CDRW's on a 52/24/52 LiteON with firmware 6S02.

Here's the last thread I posted about this: http://www.cdrlabs.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=7842

The source were 18 songs 81:06.45 audio tracks ripped into into .wav's from Feurio!, Nero and Exact Audio Copy. And it was a DAO/96 burn. What I am trying to do is conduct an overburn test if possible.

I have included any updated ATIP info with SmartBURN CD Analyzer since reformatting my system.

16 Songs 74:04.19 [same compilation minus 2 songs].
At 24x Nero CDSpeed showed NO ERRORS but I had to reformat this CDRW twice before it would give me no errors.

If the Jensen and Verbatim CDRW's look familiar, they came from our very own Spazmogen. Thanks!

The media that I would use to test for an overburn audio compilation would be the AOpen and Jensen. The 'Generic" would be hard to find b/c it's unlabeled.

EDIT : tried a reformat on Princo and Generic CDRW and updated results.

Thanks Action, nice job. These Jensen discs have gotten a lot of good results. Maybe I will have to pick up a few and try them myself. The Memorex 12x CD-RW disc that came with my Memorex drive doesn't burn very well - too many damaged sectors and even some unreadable.

Thanks. I didn't add the LiteON supplied 24x CDRW b/c it's pretty bad stuff by Plasmon.

By the way, the Memorex-branded disc I haven't had good luck with is listed as "InfoDisc" by CDSpeed and SMARTBURN.exe (ATIP = 97m 25s 30f)

I've never had good luck with their products.

Thank's Spazmogen. Glad to know that I am not alone in finding this product to be really bad quality. I'm also glad I didn't pay for it. Well, at least that I can pretend I didn't pay for it since it came as a sample with the drive...
