Infomer 30 DVD+R

Strangely enough, the Informer 30 DVD+R disc did not produce any POF errors with the Pioneer drive, despite the high Jitter. The PI Sum8 values are well within specs for all drives, and as we are starting to see, Jitter probably isn't as much of a factor in generating severe errors as PI. Only the LiteOn drive produced POF errors although it was well within specs for both Jitter and PI Sum8.

Note that the discs recorded by the Plextor PX-716A could not be measured.

Prodisc R04 DVD+R

Another MID from Prodisc in this test. The Prodisc R04 DVD+R is a good choice with all the drives in our test, giving a low PI error rate and no POF errors.

Ritek R04 DVD+R

Ritek R04 DVD+R media does not seem to be the best MID for the Plextor and BenQ drives which produced POF errors. The only anomaly here is the NEC ND-4551A which had both high Jitter and PI Sum8 count above the limit, which however did not result in POF errors.
