- Burning Tests

• DVD-R media

The drive supports up to 16X writing speed with -R media. Best burn was with Verbatim media, burned in 6:19 mins.

• DVD+R media

In this case, best performance came with TDK media, burned in only 6:10 mins.

- Comparison with other drives

As we can see from the above graph, the Liteon drive was only slightly behind the NEC burner although time differences between the burners are negligible.

As with the previous case, we have drives that support the same burning speeds with all formats, so we can see the differences in times is negligible except for the NEC drive with DVD+RW media, which reported a very fast time.

• DVD+R

• DVD-R

Unfortunately, the drive does not support DVD overburning with both -R and +R media formats, giving the above error messages.
