DVD-R media compatibility and write quality:
In these tests we will be using a Lite-On LH-20A1L with firmware BL05 along with CD-Speed to measure the disc quality. We will also be using the Optiarc AD-7203A with firmware 1.04 along with CD-Speed for our read-back tests.

PIF errors are fairly constant throughout the disc but well within specification. Jitter, although above 8% is still good. Note that although the selected burn speed was 20x, the drive never reached above 16x and the burn slowed down near the end of the disc.

Fortunately, thanks to MediaCodeSpeedEdit, we can BitSet DVD+R/W. ^_^
