- Writing Quality

In order to test the Freecom FX-50 DVD+R DL writing quality, we used the LiteOn SOHD-167T and the Plextor PX-712A drives.

• Verbatim Double Layer media @ 4X

Using Nero CD/DVD Speed, we got a very good scan, indicating again, good quality performance from the drive with the DL media recorded. A very small speed drop near the end of the first layer is nothing to worry about while the drive reported 7.34X average reading speed.

The reported PI error rates were far lower than the 280 limit, indicating very good quality media. It seems that writing Double Layer media is a strong point of this Freecom external burner.

The following screen captures is presented for reference reasons and concerns the media info reported by DVDInfoPro for the Double Layer discs we burned. You can see that the default booktype setting for Double Layer media is set to DVD-ROM. This greatly increases compatibility with Stand-Alone DVD Players.

- Compatibility

The Freecom FX-50 external burner can burn directly all DVD+R9 projects with DVD-ROM booktype, ensuring you get maximum compatibility.
