BenQ DW1600A DL Recorder - Page 16

KProbe/PlexTools Scans - Page 4

In the following screenshots you can see the PI/PIF scans for the DVD+R/RW media we burned with the BenQ DW1600A DL. The software we used for all measurements is KProbe v2.1.0, and the reader is the LiteOn LDW-811S with "HS0Q patched" firmware, being able to read DVD±R/RW media up to 8X CAV. All scans have been performed at 8X with PI/PIF Sum8. Note that LiteOn drives cannot report PO but PIF errors, despite what KProbe reports. In addition, all discs have been scanned with PX-712A v1.01 using PlexTools v2.14 for comparison levels.

Comparing the KProbe/PlexTools scans we can see major differences in the reported PI/PIF error rates. The main explanation is that we have two different readers, with different pickup/chipset combinations, scanning at different reading speeds (8X CAV for KProbe, 2X CLV for PlexTools). It's interesting to see the disc scanned at low & high speed, since when error rate increases at a specific disc area, it should appear in both scans...else it would be, perhaps, a reading glitch of the tested reader.

Note: PI/PIF errors only give us a quick look at the error rate of the burned media. Those scans should be taken not as the absolute criteria of the burning quality but as an indication level.

  • 16X writing speed

Philips 16X DVD+R @ 16X

Plextor 8X DVD+R @ 16X (DVD-ROM Format)

Plextor 8X DVD+R @ 16X (DVD+R Format)

- Summary

Plextor 8X media was recorded at 16X. The writing quality at this speed was not expected to be as good as at lower speeds. Plextor 8X media produced a "read error" near the end of the reading process. The media was supposed to be written at 8X but instead was written at 16X. So, this error is reasonable. It should also be noted that the error occurred with the DVD+R format, while the disc with DVD-ROM format reported no read errors. Philips 16X media produced better results than Plextor 16X media, but results from both media were more than acceptable. Very good performance from the BenQ DW1600A DL.
