- Media Info (Verbatim DVD-R DL 8X)

- Writing - 8X CAV (16.17X average) in 19:36 min

- Reading - 12X CAV (9.06X average)

- Writing Quality - iQB OMNI

We cannot be very happy with the results here. First of all, the RI14 is low for both layers, which is generally typical for multi-layer discs. The PI8 graph has some spikes in the L0, which also gave some POF. Jitter was also higher than the limits for both layers.
