- Writing Tests

The LG GSA-4160B model supports Double Layer media. It can record this type of media at 2.4X. We burned several Verbatim DVD+R DL and Traxdata DVD+R DL discs with DVD-Video content. The source disc was "Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" Disc1 with a total size of 6.86GB.

First, we transferred the movie to the hard disc with DVD Decrypter in ISO format (single file). We used the latest version of CopyToDVD software to burn the image file to the Traxdata Double Layer media. We chose the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image and we selected the LG burner to start burning.

The recorder needed sometime to initialize the inserted media and the recording process started after 21 seconds. Total burning time reported by CopyToDVD was 37:59mins with 2.32X average writing speed. The recorded disc was in DVD+R9 booktype.

We then repeated the same procedure with Verbatim Double Layer media. CopyToDVD reported 38:00mins total burning time with 2.32X average writing speed. Again, the recorded disc was in DVD+R9 booktype.

For comparison reasons, we post some burning results from other DL writers, which all burned the same content ("Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" disc1), using the CopyToDVD software:

You can see that although the LG GSA-4160B model is not the fastest DL recorder, burning time has improved over the GSA-4120B model.
