DVD+R DL/ R DL Writing performance

 

 

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


The Pioneer DVR-115DBK supports the DVD+R DL/-R DL standard for writing Double Layer/Dual Layer discs with a size around 8.5 GB at a writing speed of 10x.

DVD+R DL:

For these tests we wrote an image file of a DVD-Video compilation of as near full capacity as possible with CD-Speed. We then used the Lite-On along with CD-Speed to test the discs quality; we then finally ran a read-back test on our Optiarc AD-7203A using Nero CD-Speed.

Reviewers Note:
The Lite-On LH-A201L is not able to perform a jitter test on the second layer of a DL disc. We therefore omitted the jitter test in our DL media tests.

Nice review.

Fortunately, thanks to MediaCodeSpeedEdit, we can BitSet DVD+R/W. ^_^
I don't think the bitsetting works on +RW. It does on +R but on the tests I made, a +RW disc was still bitset to +RW.
I got one. And when write, it's nice and quiet. But when insert a disc and it spins up. It's like a turbine. For that reason, i like my Pioneer DVR-110 better. It's quiet.
I got this one a week ago. I haven't tried for burning but while reading this burner makes extra-ordinary noise. Otherwise no complaints so far.
Sounds like a jet engine and seeks all the time when playing a DVD movie with PowerDVD 7.3 Ultra. :r
