Results are for Verbatim 6X Hard Coat discs burned at 2X
I got the license for Opti Drive Control since it expired since I last used it a few months ago (there was a sale for 80% off, so got it for only $5).
I ran a 'Disc Quality Scan' on a disc from the 20 pack of Verbatim Japan 4X Printable 50GB discs from Amazon, burned
at 2X.
Results of the 'Verbatim JP 4X' discs, burned at 2X, were even slightly better than the above results for the Verbatim Hard Coat glossy 10 pack 6X disc, also burned at 2X (also from Amazon)
.
Unfortunately the ODC results for the latter got lost when I ejected the disc (have barely used it - did about 4 scans total so far). Had I known, I would have taken a screenshot and saved it.
Attaching the Hard Coat results burned at 2X) again (from last time).
(PS: The 4X Verbatim JP discs 20 pack are also Hard Coat, but I am using Hard Coat to designate the Blue 6X Verbatim cardboard 10 pack).
Does the ODC quality scan test place undue wear / stress on the BD-R drive (relatively speaking)? Although I bought the LiteOn BD-R drive mainly for that purpose anyway, IF the tests DO place SIGNIFICANT stress / wear (relatively speaking of course), THEN I would prefer to not retest the same disc (in any case I know the ODC results were slightly better than the blue package Hard Coat discs, even if I did not get a screenshot) and would then rather test a disc from a new batch of Verbatim Japan 4X 20 pack (which I will be getting this weekend - I finished burning all 20 discs from my first pack).
Side note - Getting them from the same 3rd party seller as last time. Another 3rd party seller is cheaper, but since I had no coasters, I prefer not to try another seller since they sell tons of items, not just media, and the reviews for the sellers typically mention other items (not BD-Rs), so the seller rating is only a partial indicator of how well it might go. I did find just one review which called out my seller by name, which was negative, but they might have had back luck or have a bad burner) and I had 20 good burns out of 20 with my Pioneer BDR-212 (burned at 2X as per recommendations in this thread).
