- Writing Tests

The Samsung TS-H552 model supports Double Layer media recording with writing speeds up to 2.4X. We burned a Verbatim DVD+R DL and a Traxdata DVD+R DL disc with DVD-Video content. 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 used the latest version of CopyToDVD software to burn the image file to the Traxdata Double Layer media. We chose the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image and we selected the Samsung burner to start burning.

The recorder needed sometime to initialize the inserted media and the recording process started after some seconds. Total burning time reported by CopyToDVD was 37:19mins with 2.36X average writing speed.

We then repeated the same procedure with Verbatim Double Layer media. CopyToDVD reported 37:19mins total burning time with 2.36X average writing speed.

For comparison reasons, we post some burning results from other DL writers, which all burned the same content ("Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" disc1), using the CopyToDVD software:

You can see, that although the Samsung TS-H552 model is not the fastest DL recorder, due to the existance of other writers supporting 4X DL, its burning time was one of the fastest at 2.4X.
