CD-DVD Speed app & Disc Quality test with PX-716

| I am having trouble with the Nero CD-DVD Speed app (v. 4.01). If I run the "Disc Quality" test using my Lite-On SOHC-5236K Combo drive, it works fine, and will check DVD+R discs. But if I try the same thing with my new PX-716A, I get "Error initializing test" every time. Other tests work (like Benchmark and ScanDisc), but not this one. I tried rebooting; I tried upgrading CD-DVD Speed from 4.00 to 4.01, but no change. Any ideas? Related question: What's a reasonable Quality Score in this test? Lite-On routinely reports stuff between 84 (for an overburned Fujifilm DVD+R I made earlier today with my PX-716) to 93 (for a standard DVD+R I burned with my old PX-708). The manual included with CD-DVD Speed is a bit out of date, and doesn't even mention its DVD-related functionality. Thanks, Phil

| How else would you explain that for example a disc with a POF can get a score higher than 0?

| OK, it occurs to me that perhaps I need more basic information than anything Plextor or Nero-specific.  I've posted a question in the Newbie forum instead.But thanks for the responses. --Phil

| 1. Nero CD/DVD Speed does not support Plextor drives 2. If you want to perform disc quality assessment, use either PXScan/PXView (by alexnoe) or Plextools Pro

Other scans i've seen with PIF errors >32 can have scores in the 80s. Depending on how strict you apply the PIF Limit we're speaking of coasters with quite high a score here! IMHO the quality score can only be used to make an overall comparison between two burns (even to compare to coasters) and not to determine whether a burn is a coaster or not according to the required PIE/F POE/F limits to be respected. |
