38. Final words

In the following table, we have gathered the findings of the DVD and CD quality measurement tests. On the left side of the table, you can find the discs that "passed" our writing quality test, meaning that measurements did not show any uncorrectable digital errors. On the the right side there are the discs that passed the tests.

- BD Media quality

In the following table 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)
