We start our DVD writing quality measurements with DVD+R media. A variety of different MIDs were selected and were burned at the maximum allowed speed. In each of the following pages you can find detailed information about each disc, the burning and reading procedure as well as the related signal measurements that construct the overall quality picture of each disc.

You can always navigate across the different MIDs of this test, using the page navigation drop down menu.

Media Info -

Writing - 4X (3.87X average) in 16:22

The disc was recognized as 8x-compatible and CDspeed allowed us to select the 8X burning speed. However, the drive "decided" that the appropriate writing strategy was 4X CLV.

Reading - 12X (9.06X average)

The drive dropped the reading speed in the outer area of the disc, indicating problem data had been burned at this region.

DaTARIUS Scans -

The measurements are summarized in the below table. You can see the limits for each signal, the average and maximum value as it was reported by the DaTARIUS equipment and the values at three specific positions on the disc (radius 25.0mm, 40.0mm and 55.0 mm)

The disc produced one POF error near the 56mm radius.
