DVD+R DL/ R DL Writing performance and compatibility

 

DVD+R/-R Double Layer writing performance and quality

The ASUS BC-1205PT supports the DVD±R DL standard for writing Double Layer/Dual Layer discs with a size around 8.5 GB at a writing speed of 4X on supported media. 

Testing procedure:

We created an ISO Image from a pre-authored DVD-Video compliant file set, with a total on-disc size of nearly 8.5GB. We then wrote this image file using Nero Burning ROM 7. Below are the results:

DVD+R DL

 

Disc Quality Scan at 4X with Lite-on Drive

TRT with BenQ DW-1650

The ASUS BC-1205PT performed nicely with this media.


DVD-R DL

As we mentioned above the ASUS BC-1205PT is capable of writing DVD-R DL discs at 4X, however we do not have any DL dash media that is capable for 4X burning at this time.  We did use a 4X RiDATA DVD-R DL disc for our test which would burn at 2X only.  You will see those results below:

Disc Quality Scan at 4X with Lite-on Drive

TRT with BenQ DW-1650

This media has proven to be problematic for the ASUS BC-1205PT as well as other drives.
