33. Summary of Burning Results
34. Conclusion - Final Total Score

The next media comes from PlexDisc 16X DVD-R Printable with OPTODISCR016 media ID code.

The Pop-up (Optiarc AD-7560A) again didn't recognized the media so got 0 score.

After the burn process, we tried to read the burned disc with the same drive and wrote down their average reading speed.

The Effelon (TSSTcorp TS-L632M) has the higher reading speed with the PlexDisc 16X DVD-R media. After many hours measuring all discs we have our burn quality results.

The drives with the lowest PIE/PIF error rates are expected to get higher score points even they burn slower a disc. After all we all want perfectly readable discs.

With the PlexDisc 16X DVD-R media, the Rioddas BT-638 (PLDS DA8A5SH) managed to produce the lower error rates among all tested drives so it got the first place with 8.15 points!
