The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Help finding the right burn speed

Asked by shlomofu99 in Miscellaneous Hardware

Tags: speed, burn

Hi

I read that all burns done on a cd-r or cd-rw disc have errors, but the software is able to correct for these errors, and that there usually aren't enough errors to throw off the software.

I also read that to get the least amount of errors in a burn, you should burn at below the maximum speed. The rule of thumb, I read, is to burn at a third of the maximum speed that the disc and the drive is able to do (assuming your os and cpu can handle it). To burn slower than that will only marginally reduce the errors, and thus isn't worth the cost in time of waiting for the burn to end. I know, also, that not all burners are equal- some create more errors than others. I also know that not all burning software is equal- here, too, some create more errors than others.

I have two computers, with each one using different burn software, and different cd-rw drives. I'm looking for a program that will tell me how many errors exist in the disc I just burned. That way, I can compare a few burns, and then I'll know in the future what burn speed to use, which of my two cd-rw drives to use, and which burning software to use.

Does such a program exist? And is there a website that can tell me which cd-rw drives or which burn software produce the least errors?

Thanks

-Shlomo
