- Writing Tests

We burned two DVD+R DL discs with DVD-Video content. The source disc was "Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" disc1 with a total size of 6.86GB. First, we transferred the movie to the hard disc with DVD Decrypter in ISO format (single file). Afterwards, we used CopyToDVD, latest available version at the time of the review.

• Traxdata Double Layer media @ 2.4X

The writing process was finished after 40:04 minutes. The average speed was 2.24X as reported by CopyToDVD software.

• Verbatim Double Layer media @ 2.4X

The writing process was finished after 23:24minutes. The average speed was 2.30X.

For comparison reasons, we post DL burning times for other writers, with the same disc content and same recording software:

The BenQ drive is not one of the fastest DL burners out there, since the max DL writing speed now is up to 6X, but certainly it can not be considered a slow DL burner.
