- Writing Tests

We burned two DVD+R DL discs 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). Afterwards, we used CopyToDVD, latest available version by the time of the review. After choosing the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image we selected the TEAC DV-W516GB recorder.

• Ritek Double Layer media @ 2.4X

The writing process was finished after 37:17 minutes. The average speed was 2.36X as reported by CopyToDVD software.

• Traxdata Double Layer media @ 2.4X

The writing process was finished after 37:17minutes. The average speed was 2.36X.

• Verbatim Double Layer media @ 4X

The writing process was finished after 22:24 minutes. The average speed was 3.91X.

For comparison reasons, we post DL burning times for other writers, with the same disc content and same recording software:

As we can see, the TEAC drive is very fast in comparison to other drives at 4X.
