Today I bought some of these (new) Verbatim 32x CD-RWs and wanted
to do the test I read about in this forum (burn - full erase - burn - etc.)
Disc Info:
Disc Type = ULTRA SPEED CD-RW 32X
Manufacturer = Mitsubishi Chemicals Corporation.
(Disc Size: 700 MB / 80 mins)
According to some tests I saw that these cds should work well with my
drive. But this is not the case. I tried the firmware QS0C but also QS0B.
I always have the same following result:
When I burn the CD for the first time (wiht Nero CD-DVD Speed),
there are no C2 errors on the CD. For checking C2 errors I use
the newest version of K-Probe and Nero CD-DVD Speed.
Then I erase my CD (full-erase) and burn again a test CD with Nero CD-DVD Speed.
But then after checking the errors the CDs is hardly readable,
I think the drive spins down to 2x and there are many C2 errors
about (200 per second).
I bought 5 CDs and I tried all. The problem is still the same.
Has anybody else experienced such problems with these CDs?
I have two LiteON drives but both show same errors.
In Nero CD-DVD Speed I have the following CD info:
Manufacturer : Mitsubishi
Code : 97m34s25f
Disc Type : CD-RW
Usage : General
Recording Layer : Phase Change
Recording Speed : 1 X
Capacity : 79:59.74
703 MB
Additional Capacity : n/a
Overburn Capacity : not tested
The recording speed is only indicated with 1x. But that's not possible.
Can anybody tell me what's going on with these CD's.
With 2.20 € per CD they aren't cheap at all, but the quality
is horrible.
