Waitec Action 16 Recorder - Page 22

For checking exactly what the Action 16 reports, we used three different media, burned with other recorders. The three media have been measured with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system at 1X.

The drive is capable of reporting PI/PIF errors, so we will compare those measurements for various reading speeds:

• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested Waitec Action 16 drive. Using other drives, even another Action 16, can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#3nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

#3nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

#3nd Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

In all the above graphs, you can see that the Waitec Action 16 drive reports totally different results than those of the SA300S. In some cases, such as that of the 4X PIF and the 8X PI, we can see a pattern, a glimpse of what the trend line would be.
