DVD Recording Tests

- Writing Performance

The TDK 882N supports DVD-R/RW and DVD+R/RW writing. The maximum supported speed for DVD±R is 8X Z-CLV and 4X CLV for DVD±RW media. Nero Burning Rom reported speeds are shown below.

Since there is no major differences between the NEC ND-2510A firmware and TDK's firmware, the media support list is not changed. Please check the ND-2510A review for which media is supported at specific speeds.

By using Nero CD-DVD Speed with DVD-R and DVD+R media, we are able to see the 8X Z-CLV recording technology being used by the recorder.

DVD-R media @ 8X

DVD+R media @ 8X

The drive's writing performance was the same for both formats. The recorder started to write at 4.13X and reached a highest value of 8.28X, with an average speed of 6.79X.

- Burning Tests

We burned 4315MB of data on various DVD±R, DVD±RW media. We used the maximum allowed writing speed for each disc.

- DVD Overburning Tests

Using Nero CD-DVD Speed, we tested if the TDK 882N can overburn using DVD+R and DVD-R media. Unfortunately, the drive does not support overburning, giving the following error with all inserted media.
