1+ Year Old Media Results

After seeing Dolph's results with his old review media, I was inspired dig up some of my older media (12-18 months old) and scan them. :) Over the past few weeks, I've been able to scan 39 older discs for which I have initial scans for.

Just a few notes:
  • All discs were originally burned in a BenQ DW1620 with B7P9, B7T9, B7U9 or B7V9 firmware.
  • All discs were originally scanned in the same BenQ DW1620 with the same firmware as they were burned with.
  • All discs were rescanned in the same drive with the same firmware as they were orignally scanned in.
  • Unfortunately, the discs were rescanned with a different CD Speed version (v4.51.1) than they were orginally scanned with simply because I have no way of knowing exactly which version of CD Speed I used initially :(
  • Discs were stored in cheapie DVD cases or a Case Logic CD/DVD wallet.
    edit: I updated each post to specifically state how each disc was stored :D
  • I don't have the *exact* dates of when these discs were burned, but my guesses should be accurate to within a month or so.
  • Unless stated otherwise, all discs are in good physical condition with minimal scratches/dust (I made sure to dust off every disc with canned air before rescanning).

I should also mention that the initial scans were not always performed under ideal circumstances, which is reflected by the not-so-straight reading line seen in many scans :P

The first pic will be the original scan, and the second pic will be the rescan.

Let me know if you have any questions or requests! :D

update: I assigned every disc a number for easier referencing :)
