ReadSpeed ??? to Back-Up DVDs.

[H3llsing]

When we are making a back-up of a game is good to have the read speed to the max or a lower level ??? While making a ISO to the PC-HDD for later burn.

[ftothe3]

put it up at max. reducing doesnt help.

[H3llsing]

And no matter if the disc is a little bit scratch?

Yeah it really doesn't matter when making a ISO to the Hard drive. It matters when going to a disk.

Yeah, I never understood that myth either - if the media ia tested at certain speed and your burner can handle it - go to town and enjoy the game quicker. The whole "slower = better" is a myth I just don't understand.

[ftothe3]

the "burning at a slower speed is better" might be a myth from the days before buffer underrun protection

[teclis]

The 'myth' used to apply, but, as ftothe3 mentioned, this was only valid during the days before buffer underrun, and burning was still in it's infancy.
