In order to test the writing quality and readability of the burned media we used two readers with two software applications:

In general, a "perfect" disc should have a smooth reading curve, very low PIE/POE and zero (0) POF error rates. Most times however, even though a disc has very low PIE/POE error rates, the reading curve may not be smooth containing dropoffs. Due to the fact that we oversped the reading capabilities of the LiteON SOHD-167T, such drops are expected, especially near the outer area of the disc.

The measurements below should be taken not as the absolute criteria of the burning quality, but as an indication level.

8X DVD+R Writing Speed

• Verbatim 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• 3A 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• BeALL 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• Optodisc 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• Traxdata 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• Philips 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• Ricoh 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• TDK 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• Waitec 8X DVD+R @ 8X

• TY 8X DVD+R @ 8X

- Summary

We can see that with the 8X DVD+R media readings with the Plextools and CDSpeed software, some media reported errors while others high PIE levels.The best reading came with the TY 8X media, for both Plextools and CDSpeed. Waitec should consider improvements here in future firmware releases.
