- Writing Tests

The LG GSA-4163B model supports Double Layer media. It can record this type of media at 4X. We burned five different DL media from Verbatim, Traxdata, Philips, Ricoh and CMC Magnetics with DVD-Video content. The source disc was "Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" Disc1 with a total size of 6.86GB.

First, we transferred the movie to the hard disc with DVD Decrypter in ISO format (single file). We used the latest version of CopyToDVD software to burn the image file to all media. We chose the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image and we selected the LG burner to start burning.

The recorder needed sometime to initialize the inserted media and the recording process started after approximately 30 seconds. Below are the log files for each media we used:

• Mitsubishi Chemicals

• Traxdata

• Ricoh

• Philips

• CMC Magnetics

For comparison reasons, we post some burning results from other DL writers, which all burned the same content ("Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" disc1), using the CopyToDVD software:

As we can see from the table above, the LG GSA-4163B managed to burn a DVD+R DL media with the lowest time among the burners.
