i bought these ritek g05's dvd-r 8x and since they didnt work with my stock 1.06 , i first flashed it with 1.07 stock from the nec website and when i still couldnt select more than 4x i used Herries firmware with the bitsetting feature
and i just burned a disc in 9:30min which should be fine but when insert the disc into my dvd-rom or my burner it says "access denied" on both

this is really strange

Hi!

The RitekG05 dye is known to vary very much in quality. That's why NEC reduced the recording speed to 4x. They are not able to guarantee good results @8x writing speed.
But as you can see here
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=96140
8x writing speed should be selectable with NEC original firmwares 1.05 and 1.06 (both versions).
If I were you, I wouldn't write faster than 4x on that media... you've experienced the result yourself...

is there a way to test the quality of the dvd-r ?
i mean not that cdspeed check thing but the quality of the production of the media
to see whether its bad or not....

Hi!

I just know three ways to test DVD media:

1.) KProbe or CD/DVDSpeed quality check for relative comparisons
2.) CD/DVDSpeed reading graphs (but it has to reach 12x)
3.) Testing media on several stand alones

If you get discs that are good in all three disciplines then it's the right media for you!
Normally this is Taiyo Yuden or MCC...

Hi pentroz!

Du kannst diese Medien bei

http://www.mix-computer.de

bestellen (Wähle DVD-Brenner und klicke den Haken bei "Medien anzeigen"!). Es lohnt sich aber nur, wenn Du viel bestellst, da die Versandkosten immer etwa 10,- EUR betragen. Vielleicht wartest Du so lange, bis Du sowieso Hardware bestellst...

Die Preise sind allerdings sonst recht gut:

Fuji DVD-R 8x (Taiyo Yuden) - 5 Stück im JewelCase - 7,01 EUR
Verbatim DVD+R und DVD-R 8x (MCC) - 10 Stück im JewelCase - 14,19 EUR

Bei Saturn in Hannover kostet ein Verbatim 8x-Rohling übrigens 2,79 EUR!

MfG, Legnerp
