- Writing Tests

We burned four different DVD+R DL discs 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 as ISO format (single file). Afterwards, we used CopyToDVD v3.0.35.

First, we tried with Verbatim Double Layer media (Media Code MKM-001-00). CopyToDVD reported 22:46mins total burning time with 3.87X average writing speed.

Then we repeated the same task, this time with media from Traxdata (Media Code RITEK-D01-01). CopyToDVD reported 37:30mins total burning time with 2.35X average writing speed.
