Hi guys,

I wonder what's the writing speed for the following media with fw1.14:
ProdiscS03
ProdiscS04
Fujifilm03

Generally speaking did Pioneer improve 4x@8x media support I wonder? This seems to be the biggest "problem" of the drive ...

Here you go, 1.14 results

ProdiscS03-> 4X
FujiFilm03-> 8X

We don't have ProdiscS04 (if you know a branded media that uses it, let me know)

Bulkpaq Orange (Generation 4) 8x DVD-R (25 pack spindle)

Nice and cheap (£5.99/25pack when I've bought them), and they write well on Plextor 712a (in fact a bit better than Datawrite's 8x FujiFilm03) ... the only problem is that lately I've seen Bulkpaq's using Infosmart and Princo dyes as well ... including a fake TYG02 dye (www.feurio.de) ... and some vendors do not indicate which one they sell ...

It looks to me that they launch the discs with a good dye, and when they become popular, they start using crappy dyes like Infosmart, Princo or even fake TY ... Bastards!!!

It seems that some of the 8x Printable Bulkpaq's also use this ProdiscS04 dye.

Maybe the Ritek Quality is not good and stabile enough for more than 12x....

http://www.meritline.com/azo-dvd-plus-r-blank-media-bulk.html

the a08 1.10 read/write to it perfect, but the 108 1.14 won't even read it.

Maybe because 12X burning is faster than 16X on this pioneer ?

(I'm joking...)

Actually with the 1.10 firmware, 16X was faster than 12X

out of curiosity, what is the fastest time anyone has gotten with 1.14 on TYG02 8x DVD-Rs? I know they burn at 16x, but what is the actual time taken to burn a full disc? 6:30? 6:45? something like that??
