My first DVD, LOL

seb21__ — Sun, 29 May 2005 11:18:29 GMT

LOL, after approx 2 years, I have burnd my first DVD with my PCG-FR315S.

I used Nero Vision Express 3.

I needed for the transcoding from VOB into MPEG2 approx 80 minutes. (for a 140 minutes movie, Audio = Dolby AC3 2.0, VBR).

For the burning itself, I needed approx 50 minutes for the 4,3 GB file.

DVD-drive: SONY DVD RW DW-U50A (DVD+R/RW: 2x/2x, DVD-R/RW: 1x/1x)
used media: Intenso DVD-R 4,70 GB. But only 4,38GB was writeable with this drive.
Scandisc with Nero CD/DVD Speed: 0% failure

BTW: the DVD plays on my old Playstation2. That means that there seems to be no problems with compatibility.
Good or what?

How fast is your VAIO?

Thats excellent Seb
A DVD takes 14mins on my RA104 to burn - not sure how long a film takes as I have never done it

Mmmh, It's one 3,4GB file. Maybe smaller files could burn faster. No idea. But for a 1x speed it's fast, IMO.

The other thing is that you can't burn faster than the system can shift files to the drive. I could burn CDs with 16x speed. But I'm never faster than 9x.:smileycool:

These Intenso discs are really good IMO. LOL, the DVDs have a blue color.

I think one of the reason is the sort of files.

To read a Audiodisc lasts longer than a data disc. I think there is a similar thing if you want burn the disc. (correct me if I'm wrong)

My system can only handle 9x with Audio CDs. Which is best speed, IMO. More and my drive begins to vibrate.:smileyrolling_eyes:

i am using nero ultra edition.. and there is a tool kit which check out my optical drive and said its read n write 24x

Re: My first DVD, LOL

seb21__ — Tue, 31 May 2005 05:13:04 GMT

24x here too. But only with data CDs. Seems that an Audio CD must be much more difficult to read.:smileyconfused:
Or the same with DVDs. Data DVDs runs at 5x. Is it a movie DVD it runs only at 2x.:smileyconfused:
