27. Final words

We start our DVD writing quality measurements with DVD-R media. A variety of different MIDs were selected and burned at the maximum allowed speed. In each of the following pages, you will find detailed information about each disc, the burning and reading procedure as well as the related signal measurements that construct the overall quality picture for each disc.

You can always navigate across to the different MIDs in this review, using the page navigation drop down menu.

The test reported the PISum8 error rate exceeding its limit (280) at some points, but no uncorrectable errors were reported. Jitter was also marginally higher than the limit of 8 (normalized). Reflectivity was well within the limits. A relatively good burn with the the Verbatim MCC-03RG20 disc at 20x.
