Memorex D² DVD±RW/DL Recorder - Page 17

For checking exactly what the Memorex F16 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 for various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested Memorex F16 drive. Using other drives, even another F16, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

The PIF error rate trend line is similar to that of the SA300.

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

With this test disc, all the speeds we tested (8X, 6X and 4X) showed that at the end of the disc, the PI/PIF error rate increases. The SA300 system also measured similar performance. It's rather interesting that the 4X reading speed gave the "worst" results with the same trend line for PI/PIF errors but with lower values than at 8X speed. In all cases, the the y-axis values themselves were double those of the SA300...
