Blu-ray disc writing quality

Below we have summarized the writing quality results we got with the BD-R/RE media of this test using the Opti Drive Control software. We remind you that for BDs, the following parameters are measured:

LDC (Long Distance Code): number of parity errors on LDC codewords per ECC block (32 sectors)
BIS (Burst Indication Subcode): number of parity errors on BIS codewords per ECC block (32 sectors)

On a good disc, the average LDC should stay below 13 and BIS should stay below 15, according to the author of the software.

Media type	MID	Average LDC (<13)	Average BIS (<15)
