Pro Gold discs are made in France by MAM-E and contain a gold reflective layer sandwiched between the two 0.6 mm platters that constitute a DVD disc.
Burn quality is okay. This disc is guaranteed to last one hundred years... mark your calendars and be sure to check this website for an updated quality scan in 2107.

DVD+R and DVD+RW writing quality
One thing I would advise against is using any LG drive for TRT. Those drives have no problems with extremely poor burns. I have had a severely degraded Ritek G05 that would not read at all in any of my liteons, I put it in my LG and it did not slow down once during the rip. I've noticed this on a number of poorly burnt discs in the past and I have two LG drives to confirm that they are very good readers, too good when it comes to TRT.

Many things besides the quality of the disc can go wrong at high reading speeds. 16x DVD speeds mean interpreting 56 meters/180 feet per second of track covered with microscopic bumps. It makes me think of reading highway signs written in Braille - at supersonic speeds
The whole thing is a bit of a black art... a reading test can show a hint of a problem where the quality test sees none, and vice versa. The best we can do is to pick one reading drive for a review and stick with it until there is an apparent contradiction between a quality test and a reading test, as was the case here.
