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.
- Media Info (Ricoh DVD-R SL 16x)
- Writing - 8x Z-CLV (7.51x average) in 08:09 min
- Reading - 8x CAV
- Quality - iQB OMNI
Another good burn with the CMCMAG AM3 disc at 8x. Reflectivity (RI14) was a little low in the beginning of the disc but no read-out difficulties were observed, and the digital errors were well within the acceptable limits.
