well, has anyone tried this media?

It should be MXL22.
12x P-CAV burns can be done in some burners in about 5:40ish without verification.
See our review pages for 12x DVD-RAM writings on new burners (ie LG GSA-H22N, Sony DRU-830A, Samsung S182D, Optiarc AD-7173 etc): http://www.cdfreaks.com/reviews/
Cool, used Audiocubes before and they ship to the UK.
Now there on my shopping list!
Send me some of the discs and I’ll let you know how they work
Don’t forget that DVD-RAM is not backward compatible (similar to CD-RW). You will not be able to write 12x media on a 5x DVD-RAM burner. However you will be able to read it.
Here is a recent create disc on MXL22 @12x on DW1800, verification off (streaming enabled).
Who want to interpret the disk quality scan?
Great googelty-moogelty!!! $12 for one disk!
lol - for once, I do [I]not [/I]volunteer!
(Hi [B]Zevia [/B]:))
That price is just super-ridicilous!!!
Price - this is the main reason why I don’t like DVD-RAM (although I do think its a very good format in design :))
its been imported from Japan, so that would explain the price a bit
Zevia,
From my limited testing with 3x and 5x DVD-RAM media, I’ve found that you need to burn/overwrite a DVD-RAM disc a few times before you get any menaningful results on scans.
I don’t see anything scarry about those results. I do find it interesting that a 5x DVD-RAM drive will read it at 12x–or is that a bit of confusion in my reading of your scan?
You’re looking at the wrong speed line - the white is the write speed line, the green is the test speed line.
Regarding DVD-RAM quality scanning, the tests I’ve done of my Panasonic 3x and 5x discs have far lower PIE levels, under 20 max.
Why not?
(Hi Francksoy )
I ordered one of these, through Audiocubes, on 1/20/2007. I just received it now (1/27/2007). Great service!
The idea of DVD-RAM is great, I think. That it can be used just like a hard disk drive for backups. Sounds great for Audio and Video project studios.
I ordered 3 of them and if you figure in the shipping it’s really very cheap. Why do i say cheap? Because of the shipping from Japan. They were shipped to me from Japan for $8 usd. I just checked some shipping prices from midwest USA to UK and it cost more than what i payed for these plus shipping!
when will it arrive?
I already have them Took 6 days from order time till i had them.
If you have the ASUS 1814BLT you can burn them at 14X; covered in our reveiew here at CDF.
Nope don’t have it. Ala42 isn’t even going to mess with it
Damn! In Estonia the 3x DVD-RAM media is rare, I have never seen even 5x media here, not to mention 12x media But 12x DVD-RAM writers are available here
