- Writing Tests

We burned two 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 in ISO format (single file). Afterwards, we used CopyToDVD, the latest available version at the time of the review. After choosing the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image we selected the LiteON SOHW-1673S burner.

• CMC Double Layer media @ 2.4X

The writing process was finished after 37:27 minutes. The average speed was 2.35X as reported by the CopyToDVD software. The recorded disc had DVD+R9 format booktype setting.

• Philips Double Layer media @ 4X

The writing process was finished after 22:34 minutes. The average speed was 3.89X. Nice 4X supported writing speed.

• Traxdata Double Layer media @ 2.4X

The writing process was finished after 37:27 minutes. The average speed was 2.35X.

• Verbatim Double Layer media @ 4X

The writing process was finished after 22:36minutes. The average speed was 3.98X. Again we have a nice 4X burning speed.

For comparison reasons, we post DL burning times for other writers, with the same disc content and same recording software:

The LiteON was the fastest burner in the above list.
