DVD reading tests
- Test Method
We used Nero CD Speed to run DVD tests. All tests were performed at least
3 times with the same DVD title (we show the average results). The tests discs
were one single sided, single layer DVD-ROM, one single sided, dual layer DVD-ROM,
and DVD-R,-RW, +R and DVD+RW media.

Teac DV-516E supports 16X CAV reading speed for the DVD-ROM format. The drive
is the fastest among the competitors on the test with 15.82X average speed.
LiteOn LTD163 follows closely with 11.36X.
The seek times of Teac DV-516E are low for the DVD-ROM format. The random
seek test gave an 82 msec result, and the Full seek around 164 msec. The LiteOn
drive is faster only in the Full seek mode, with a small however difference.

The drive supports 12X CAV reading speed for the dual layer DVD-ROM
discs. It started reading at 8.92X and finished the task at 11.92X, with an
average speed of 8.92X.
The seek times for the dual layer DVD-ROMs are the same as in
the previous test.
- DVD Ripping Tests
We measured the DVD Ripping speed using the "Matrix" DVD Video title
and DVD Decrypter v3.0 software.
The ripping speed of Teac DV-516E is high and reaches the 8302
kb/sec (6X). However, the Asus E616 is faster with 9110 kb/sec.
- DVD reading Tests
The charts below shows the Nero DVD Speed results with the following media.
Non of the drives on the test support reading of DVD+R media. Teac DV-516
seems to support almost 7X CAV reading speed for the supported DVD formats.
The drive read the inserted discs in a similar average speed of approximately
5.1X. LiteOn LTD163 is the faster reader for all the formats, followed by the
Teac drive, for the DVD+RW and DVD-RW formats.
