In order to test the LiteOn SHM-165P6S DL writing quality, we used the LiteOn SOHD-167T and the Plextor PX-716A drives, to scan the burned media.

Traxdata DVD+R DL 8X @ 8X

Unfortunately, the Traxdata DL media did not prove to be good quality, as the drive failed to scan into the second layer, reporting an error message. Note that writing with the specific media was carried out twice, just to confirm the inability of the drive to produce a good burn with the specific DL disc.

Verbatim DVD+R DL 8X @ 8X

The reported quality is average, due to the High PI values in the second layer, and the not so smooth CD-Speed graph.

Verbatim DVD-R DL 4X @ 4X

Mostly average burning quality, even at the 4X burning speed, with PO values going all the way up to 400.
