For checking exactly what the Memorex 16X reports, we used three different media, burned with other recorders. The three media have been measured with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

The drive is capable of reporting PI/PIF errors, so we will compare those measurements at 8X reading speed.

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested Memorex 16X drive. Using other drives, even another Memorex 16X, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

There's a slight resemblance in the trends but the values are different between the CATS and the Memorex drive.
