Writing performance DVD±R DL and DVD RAM
 

DVD+R Double Layer writing performance:

The specifications of this drive tell us that it should write DVD+R DL at 8x.

We used Nero CD-DVD Speed to create a data disc with the ND-4570A, and then used the Lite-On SHW-16H5S along with Nero CD-DVD Speed 'Disc Quality Check" to scan our disc.





The NEC ND-4570A used Z-CLV, (Zone-Constant Linear Velocity) to write DVD+R DL at 8x. This gives an average writing speed of 6.56x, and a writing time of 18 minutes and 33 seconds. The result is good. (Thanks to SVP UK for sending us this media).

DVD-RAM writing performance:

The specifications of this drive tell us that it should write DVD-RAM at 5x.

We used Nero CD-DVD Speed to create a data disc with the ND-4570A, and then used Nero CD-DVD Speed 'Scan Disc" to scan our discs our disc for errors.

I am shocked that also the 4570 does a very bad burn with VERBATIM 16x DVD-Media!

Disk-Quality score with MCC 004 at 84%
and wit MCC 003 at 70% is somenthing NOT acceptable for me!

This "new" 8x writing method was already introduced with Plextor 708 more than 3 years ago!

I wish I'd read the comments above before buying this buner.
Best quality Verbatim discs show lots of errors and jitter on this drive causing Nero Speed 4.7 to give a Disc Quality score of ZERO.
Same discs have a score of 94 and no jitter errors when burned on my ND 3520A.

AVOID THIS BURNER!!! :(

I find this drive very good for my purposes, its incredibly fast for writing CDs for University work I am always expecting a slow write speed, I sometimes even get the feeling that the CD hasnt burnt properly and have to check it but its fine.

I THINK THIS DVD-RW, CD-RW etc is very good! :B
