cause your simply reading the error rate of the disc. once it's burned, the errors are on the disc and whether it was burned on that drive or another makes no difference as to whether or not the drive reads the errors correctly or not. unless the drive is broken.

Do you honestly believe that burning errors is only related to media??

do you honestly think thats what i wrote?

*****************
ok, burn a disc and measure it with plextools, post it, send it to me, i'll analyze it and post it. should be identical right?
***************
it won't be identical, but the fact that its burned on the same drive your measuring with has nothin to do with it.

...?

Yes i did!

But what you are really saying is that different drives read disc's differently.... but it's not related in any way to the burner that burnt it.
This is nonsense!?!...

read it again

the error rate is tied only to the burner, not the reader.

you should research it a little

First you say that a burned CDR will read differently on different drives: "it won't be identical, but the fact..."
And then you say: " the error rate is tied only to the burner, not the reader. "

...you are not making sense.
You should research comunication or maybe just get your meanings streat.

because it's an averaging process. the same disc read several times in the same reader will yield different results whether you use plextor clover or stagetech testers. that doesnt change the error rate of the disc, which happens at the burn process.

I believe it also happens during the read process. Different burners or players calibrate their lasers for certain window of reflectivity. If the errors of a disc are generated at the burn stage, then when analyzed several times in the same drive, would yield identical results. But they don't, so that leads one to believe that they are generated also while reading.

When you say that the same reader can read different results on the same CDR, is it then big differences or small differences... do they matter at all?

I'm having some disc's tested soon at a CD plant on a $50k CDR tester.... I gues will not tell him to test the same disc twice!?

I have to talk to him about this!!

Not big differences, mabye one time it'll be an average of 1.2, then next 1.6, then next 1.1. This is on the Clover. Plextools varies more. The Sony analyzer which is what you're probably having your discs tested on will be more consistent. It also varies depending on what speed your testing at too.
