Hmm... Would be the second Plextor PX-712A that goes kaputt. The one I am using now is a RMA unit.

Quick Edit: Just burning to a Sony (made in China or Taiwan) CD-R at 8x. Wondering how the C1/C2/CU scan will look like.

Maybe you stumbled across some MCC media that was produced under licence by CMC or MBI ... is it Made In Taiwan or Made In India?

Your thread title is misleading!

What media ID specifically was it? MCC 004 is supposed to be very good media.

Going to buy some decent Plextor media from K&M Shop today and s*it on LightScribe.


Told you from the start that Lightscribe is bad, but you had to reach the same result first (for a different reason)...

Unfortunately, I think JeanLuc is right thinking that the unit might be defective:



This was a Plextor (TY) CD-R.

I am going to ask a friend to give me one or two CD-Rs made by Ritek to test with. One more thing - I bought my first PX-712A about two years ago and had it replaced after a year because it was no longer able to read CDs. How long do I have time to give this new unit back - only one year or two again?

Hmm... Seems that 48x burns are OK:

):



Although a bit higher C1 average (1.2), still a good quality.

Conclusion: Low speeds don't always mean better quality.

Edit 3: Just noticed that for all images except the last one, the black line denoting the end of the disc is missing. No idea why Alt+Print didn't capture it.

Just received my second replacement unit - this time Plextor sent me a PX-755A to replace my second defective PX-712A!

That was nice of Plextor. Hopefully it works out for you!
