As translator and tester for VSO Software (CopyToDVD) they are collecting write results from every burn that is made with their software. This will result in a database which will soon be released on the Internet. Below you can find some screenshots from this beta-database. Keep in mind that these screenshots will not show all the possibilities of this database.
Hehe. I like the “List of firmware”. Modified firmwares seem to be very popular
Where si the list of firmwares for 3500 ? =))
See here (also the 2.R8 is in the list!);
2.R8 is number 6 ?? WTF? does half of this planet have 2.R8 and isn’t allowed to share it with the other half ? =)
It’s alphabetical… so maby there was only 1 user…
Ups… my mistake… =)
About success rate, is it based only on “burn successfully” or it is based “Burn and verify” fonction ?
Because you can burn succesfully a dvd, but make a coaster due to high PIE/PIF.
Text from the VSO database:
The following stats are based on real burn report using CopyToDVD and BlindWrite, because of the privacy protection, the data is not grouped and analysed per users, so please understand a few number of bad drive or computer configuration can change the results. RATIO value is a complex calculation between the number of reports and the number of burn successfully completed. Nevertheless a media burnt successfully doesn’t mean the result can be played correctly in a dvd home player, or by a computer devices, so understand these datas need to be understood by expert people. Ratio = 1.0 means perfect result (on a write completion point of view)
And here are the _NEC DVD_RW ND-3520AW stats.
What is the difference between 3520A and 3520AW ? Bulk (OEM) vs Retail I suppose ?
Mister-T: None… 3520A was changed to 3520AW with a firmware upgrade I think when the DVD-R DL burning got supported in the firmware.
Really? I thought 3520AW was just a custom drive string that Dee-27 created…
