I know that this site is more into reading that burning optical media, but there seems to be a lot of knowledgable people here so I'll try anyway:
I'm suspecting my internal laptop burner is not really up to the task when it comes to discs for psx/saturn/gamecube etc. Often having read errors or stuttering FMV's despite hq media.
Can anyone recommend a good quality burner, preferrably an external USB one that I can use with my laptop? Is there a huge difference in the results depending on the driver, or is it all down to the quality of the discs that I use? What factors are important to consider?
Thank you!
I just tried to re-redump a psx game I burned to disc. It was burned with ImgBurn on a Verbatim CD using a redump.org verified image, data track only.
Comparing the original and redumped image, I found that they differed in 4 byte sequences that repeated every 8 sectors or so. The original image always had zeros in these places and the redumped image had seemingly random values.
I was just curious how this comes? Seems like it doesn't affect any data that is actually used by the game? Is this to be expected or is it due to a shitty burning hardware?
Sorry for the stupid question, but I want to understand what's happening here. 
thanks for the quick reply! I'll look into that one.
What model are the plextors? What would price+shipping to Sweden add up to?
I'm looking for a drive that is suitable for dumping discs with audio tracks (i.e. with lead-in/out reading and all).
I know about the plextor drivers but I have a hard time finding one reasonably prized, or finding any at all.
Are there any relatively cheap models which still provide sufficient functionality?
Hmm, seems like none of my drives support this. I understand that plextor is the way to go. Any specific models you recommend?
Is there a simple test you can do to determine if your drive supports overread?
