It seems that there is a problem with the data in the end of layer 0 and the beginning of layer 1. The drive managed to read the disc but it slowed down at the specific areas.

- Writing Quality - iQB OMNI

PISum8 was very high for the layer 1, and jitter was also high for both layers. The Reflectivity (RI14) signal was also low for both layers. This may result in problems with the read-out of the data. In most cases, the cause of an actual value of RI14H should be looked for in the dye or recording material.
