These are my futile attempts to burn patched/homebrew ISOs to CD-R to play on my Turbo Duo. Pressed discs read perfectly fine. I should open an Etsy that sells CD-R coasters.

Media

Info from Nero DiscSpeed (Disc Info tab).

  • CMC Pro (Taiyo Yuden TCDR-ZZ-SB):
    • Manufacturer: Taiyo Yuden
    • Disc ID: 97m24s01f
    • Min speed 16x
    • Capacity 700MB
    • Supported Write Speeds: 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x, 48x
  • Maxell Gold
    • Disc ID: 97m31s01f
    • Manufacturer: Ritek Co.
    • Capacity: 650MB / 74 min
    • Supported Write Speeds: 16x (disc packaging says 1x-8x; likely no Write Strategy available for my drives)
  • Verbatim
    • Manufacturer: CMC Magnetics
    • Disc ID: 97m26s66f
    • Supported write speeds: 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x, 48x
    • Capacity: 700MB

Media Reflectivity

Note the strength of contrast between the burnt vs unburn areas on the disc.

Pressed disc - Very strong contrast
CMC Pro (Taiyo Yuden) - Strong contrast
Maxell Gold - Strong contrast
Verbatim - Weak contrast

Disc Quality Scan using iHAS

iHAS 124B burner, Taiyo Yuden, Alcohol 120, PC Engine setting
iHAS 124B burner, Taiyo Yuden, ImgBurn, 32x speed

Disc Quality Scan using Optiarc

Verdict: This drive resulted in many more errors than the iHAS even when using the same disc, so it likely has a dying laser.

LG WH12LS30 BD burner, Taiyo Yuden, ImgBurn, max speed
LG WH12LS30 BD burner, Taiyo Yuden, Alcohol 120, PC Engine setting
LG WH12LS30 BD burner, Taiyo Yuden, Alcohol 120, RAW DAO setting
Optiarc AD-7200S burner, Taiyo Yuden, ImgBurn, max speed

Disc Quality Scan using BENQ

All scans failed with "illegal mode for this track" error on any discs burned by the BENQ itself.

Lessons Learned

  • Check what the minimum and maximum speed that the media (disc) reports, and burn at the minimum the media (NOT DRIVE) supports.
  • Cross-check Disc Quality scans with multiple drives to make sure the drive isn't the issue. The optiarc here appears to be bad.
