- Media Info (Verbatim DVD-R DL 8x)

- Writing - 8x Z-CLV (6.60x average) in 17:12 min

As you see in the above graph the drive was trying to recover from the writing speed dips in the beginning of L1 and reached the 8x speed after the 5GB mark of the disc.

- Reading - 8x CAV

Despite the fluctuations of the burning speed in the beginning of L1, the reading graph was smooth.

- Quality - iQB OMNI

The PI8 is generally low, the POF is zero and jitter was higher than expected for both layers. The reflectivity is also lower than we expected for both layers, although modulation looks good. Asymmetry (BETA) is also lower than the limit (-0.05) in the beginning of both layers. This should be attributed to the writing strategy of the drive, especially for the beginning of L1, where the drive could not write at 8x for some time.
