The Pioneer DVR-109 was among the first DVD burners that supported 6X DVD±R DL with Verbatim's 2.4X DVD+R DL media. Now, the DVR-110D goes one step further and offers 8X writing support for both DL formats.

The source disc was "Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" Disc1 with a total size of 6.86GB. First we transferred the movie to the hard disc with DVD Decrypter in ISO format (single file).

We chose the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image file and we selected the Pioneer burner to start burning.

When we pressed "OK", the burning procedure started:

The DVR-110 finished the burning task after 20:01 mins, not the time we expected to see at 8x burning speed, with Verbatim DVD-R DL 8X media.

Now lets take a look at the writing strategy for both +R and -R DL.

- DVD+R DL

- DVD-R DL

For comparison reasons, we post DL burning results from other writers, with the same disc content and same recording software. Note that the burning times are achieved with the faster burned media regardless of the format (DVD+R DL or DVD-R DL)
