DVD Tests

- Test Method

We used Nero DVD Speed v0.52 to run DVD tests (DMA enabled on all drives). All tests were performed at least 3 times with the same DVD title (we took the worst results). The DVD Speed author suggests avoiding the use of dual layer DVDs since performance might be lower than the actual one. For that purpose we used a single-layered DVD title, taken from PC Magazine.

Freecom Traveller II gave a 7035 kb/s DVD-ROM reading performance, which is enough for our daily needs.

In the Full access Freecom Traveller II gave a 217ms result.

- DVD Ripping Tests

We measured the DVD Ripping speed using Matrix DVD and DVD Decrypter v3.0.0.8. Freecom Traveller II ripped the movie to the HD in 12:44mins, meaning it gave an 7118 Kb/sec ripping speed. Good performance for Freecom.

- DVD reading Tests

The chart below shows the Nero DVD Speed results of both drives with DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+RW media.

The drive managed to read all the above DVD formats, althought the graph shows a 0 kb/sec for the DVD-R media. DVD Speed kept giving an error while reading but the drive did managed to read from the medium when we manually tried to read it.

- Movie Tests

We tested the drive with many DVD titles and our overall impression was very good. The drive didn't showed any problem.
