In order to test the LiteOn SHW 1635S DL writing quality, we used the LiteOn SOHD-167T and the Plextor PX-716A drives to scan the burned media.

Traxdata DVD+R DL 2.4X @ 2.4X

According to Plextools, the first layer was of good quality with values below the 280 limit. After the layer change though, the values went sky high, reaching all the way up to 640 POE. This is not necessarily a bad quality burn and can be characterised as average.

Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4X @ 8X

With Verbatim DVD+R DL 2.4X @ 8X media, the writing quality was improved and the drive managed to produce a good quality burn.

Traxdata DVD-R DL 4X @ 4X

According to CD-Speed, the above burn is good quality, even though Plextools reports high PI values during the layer change.

Verbatim DVD-R DL 4X @ 4X

Once more, good quality burn with Verbatim media.

- Summary

The writing quality is dependent on the media brand used. Verbatim media reported good results while we have average performance when using Traxdata media.
