I saw a comparison video of a52 vs mi 11x lite, it gives you electronic stabilisation in uhd30... Maybe Samsung could do that too...

Hello dear friends. I'd simply like to know, how can recording an optical disc even succeed with all the vibration going on, which the drive motor generates? How can the laser stay on the track and things like that?
For most of us, optical discs are a technology of the past; replaced by streaming services, NAS Servers, and portable hard drives/SSD's. However, there are still a bunch of us who rely on optical media as a form of infinitely scalable cold data storage.
One of the trickiest tasks that few people appear to be interested in, is reading the contents of tripple-layer (100GB) and quad-layer (128GB) blu-ray discs (known as BDXL) on a television or on a cheap media consumption device such as a tablet. Sure, you could hook up a fully fledged HTPC computer but that gets noisy and expensive. Most modern gaming consoles and blu-ray players (even the newest most premium ones) tend to not support burned discs over 50GB.
The way around this is to purchase an Android box with USB OTG support. I highly recommend the NVidia Shield TV Pro for this purpose. Just note that when plugging in an external optical disc drive, if the drive is only powered by USB, you may need to use a Y-cable or get creative to meet the power requirements. Using a Y-cable with the Shield and a Pioneer BDR-XS07 Everything works without issue.
You will need to download the application 'MLUSB Mounter' and purchase the 'UDF/ISO' extension plug-in (only costs like $2.50) and you're good to go. I also use this method with my 'Samsung Galaxy Tab S6' and 'Samsung Galaxy Tab Active Pro' tablets. You can copy files off discs onto the built-in storage or read directly off the disc in your device's default app for opening those files.
Could someone release a movie that's a DVD on one side and a Blu Ray on the other? Could someone release a game that formatted for Xbox on one side and for PlayStation on the other?
Bought a second hand Wii U, got it home, stuck Mario Bros U in and I got in invalid dirty disc error, cleaned the disk, same error, opened the console up and cleaned the lens, same error. Put Captain Toad in and this time it showed up on the menu as if it was working, but then crashed to the same invalid disc error once opened
It plays Wii discs fine without a hitch but wont read Wii U discs, so I was thinking it's gotta be an issue with the laser right?
Well I just replaced the entire drive (don't worry I swapped the logic board) and after booting up it still refuses to read Wii U discs, did a full factory reset as a last effort, same thing.
I'm about at the end of my tether with this thing, at this point i'm thinking it's a faulty mobo but i don't have the skills to diagnose that let alone fix it, has anyone else had a console with this same error thats not been fixed by a new drive but been able to get it working again?
I'm not willing to accept that I bought a brick just yet so i'm down to try absolutely anything before I just give up and order a new console off Ebay, any help is greatly appreciated
Need advice to buy optical drive to make copies of 4k discs. Anything that comes more forward than others or having some kind of advantages?
Inspired by this video, but this question is turning my mind into a goddamn pretzel, so I thought I'd ask you guys too. Would it also be different depending on the type of disc or what's on it? Would this be possible on CDs, but impossible for video game discs?
Why those players who want to enjoy this feature in story mode are limited? This is nonsense
Some time ago I found a bunch of optical discs with backups I burned in 2006-2008. Out of curiosity I've decided to read them to get some intuition how well data was preserved. Note that this is not a scientific study, it's a purely anecdotal data—still, I found it interesting.
The discs were lying in a cardboard box unopened for, I guess, at least five years and three moves. No sleeves, no other kind of protection; just the box itself, with discs being at the bottom of the box and lots of other stuff covering them. Some clearly visible scratches and other type of dust, which I took care of by wiping with a dry piece of cloth. I took my USB LiteOn DVD reader and run dvdisaster over all the discs. While this tool has some special raw reading mode for CDs, it was nothing more than a repeated dd for DVDs, so I don't think it mattered much. All discs were full or almost full.
First impression—these things are so slow. I haven't been using optical media for a long time now and while I expected that, well, this is a pretty outdated technology after all, it was still slower than what I remembered. The results:
- Platinum 8x DVD+R: everything ok in the first pass,
- TDK 16x DVD+R: everything ok in the first pass,
- TDK 16x DVD+R: first pass: ~95% of data recovered, outer tracks look damaged; after few days of repeated reads, everything recovered,
- Msonic 52x CD-R: everything ok in the first pass,
- Fujifilm 16x DVD+R: everything ok in the first pass,
- Esperanza 56x CD-R: everything ok in the first pass,
- Emtec 16x DVD-R: everything ok in the first pass,
- TDK 16x DVD+R: everything ok in the first pass.
In the end, everything turned out fine except for this one disc that was a bit of a problem. I recall that I was buying the cheapest available brands at the time, yet the results were much better than I expected.
Again, this is purely anecdotal evidence, though I guess it does inspire a bit of confidence in optical media. For "small" amounts of data it's quite viable long-term storage without even going into the archival-grade media.
