Datawrite 8X DVD-R ( CMC MAG AE1)

For our recording tests we burned 4315MB of a DVD-Video compilation on 24 different DVD burners. We used the maximum allowed writing speed for each drive. First, we transferred the movie to the hard disc with DVD Decrypter in DVD-Video format. Then we used the latest version of Nero Burning Rom software to burn the VIDEO_TS file to the discs.

More information about each burner, its respective firmware revision as well as the speed and the time needed for a complete burn are given in the following table. Click on the name of a drive below to go to the quality scans or use the article navigator.
