I cant' seem to be able to run a quality test in CDspeed with my new 4166B (firmware 1.01), the start button is grey

How can I test the burn quality ?

I think someone got to start a thread asking for PI/PIF scan in current or future LG drives + everyone sending e-mail to LG support, as it was done for NEC 3500/3520.

NEC 3520 got a PI/PIF firmware after this campaign, so what do you think of that ?
Maybe the LG chip is not able to do it and they will have to change it, but nervermind.

How does this scan look ?

Burned with LG 4166B (firmware 1.01) at 8x on TYG02 Yuden DVD-R (8x) media.

Very good for PIF, less for PIE but it's still ok... but the NEC is a poor reader/scanner.

Thanks for your comments guys. I am still very pleased with this LG drive, it was a good buy I believe

Yeah, the NEC is not the best drive... Not even good at burning really.

What (cheap) drive is the best for reading and testing with CDSpeed ?

Right. Furthermore, most scans here at CDFreaks are made at 5x (considered a kind of "standard" for NEC scans)... at 5x that DVD will look even better.

Heh, ok. Might look for one of those then... Seems like a hard task to find one here in Sweden though

I assume the reading test to be ok, just a little "problem" but it was me doing something wrong

Are your 4166 working in UDMA 2 or 4 ?
I receive the box version, my Asus P4P8X (last firmware) see it as UDMA 2 and XP SP2 too... I read it was UDMA 4 - 66MB/s ?

Thanks !

You know what ? The LG IDE cable in the box is NOT UDMA 4 compliant ! It's unbelievable ! My burner is seen only at UDMA 2 with it.

With my Asus IDE cable, I see the 4166 as UDMA 4 !

Thanks a lot!

OK, now I'm leaving UDMA 2 for UDMA 4 but my troubles are here again : the burst read is still poor... What can I do ?
