CMC MAG AM3 DVD-R

With CMC MAG AM3 media, we observe very good and the lowest Jitter measurements so far, with the Pioneer DVR-110, while the NEC ND-4551A produced the highest Jitter. In the following graph, we can see the PIsum8 error rates for the same drives.

The NEC ND-4551A - CMC MAG AM3 DVD-R combination produced unexpected POF errors, since we didn't see high PI errors. The behavior cannot be easily explained and the specific disc will be measured again, very soon.

Ritek F1 DVD-R

The Plextor PX-716A with Ritek F1 media created problems and it took 3 attempts before we could take a reading. Unfortunately, we could not measure the Jitter for this combination and hence the absence in the above graph.

It is difficult to find a direct connection between the jitter values measured and the PI and PO error rates. The reason for this is that the existence of both PI and PO errors is a result of many parameters. In our case, Ritek F1 DVD-R media produced POF errors when burned with the Plextor, LiteOn and the BenQ drives.
