Aone :ok
No coasters using XBC on XP
Pioneer 112
Not sure on burn speed, i'm guessing that XBC uses the max media speed - no problems so far

Just burning a few disks now - seems like my XBC is burning at 2.4x, I can't remember if this is the default or if I changed it. I think I'll stick with it tho.

much cheaper than verbs too :biggrin

[thetarget]

take that back. first one worked great but had 3 coasters since
using a sony DRU 810a rw

the second layer of these disks )


i never get coasters with verbs so i think am going to have to go back to them

Never had a single coaster m8 used over 200 of them ,Are you burning them too fast?

[thetarget]

na tried them at 4x, 2.4x and 1x on different games they all failed halfway into the second layer


googled the prob and it seems im not the only person having the same problem with these disks

i may buy a pioneer 112D drive and see if there ok with that
cos the problem seems to be more common with sony drives wouldnt mind
but this drive has never failed me b4
