- Writing Quality

In order to test the NEC ND-2510A DVD+R DL writing quality, we used not our usual readers (LiteOn LDW-811S/Plextor PX-712A) but the LiteOn SOHD-167T with firmware 9S13.

Using KProbe v2.2.3, we got a rather good scan, indicating again, good quality performance from the drive with the DL media recorded. Notice that the disc is not read at 3~8 CAV, but at 2.5X~5X CAV (DVD+R DL media).

Using the Plextor PX-712SA and PlexTools, we were able to scan the DVD+R DL media:

The reported PI error rate was far lower than the 280 limit and no PO failures were reported, giving again an indication of a very good quality burned disc. The NEC drive continues to produce very good quality burns.

- Compatibility

Unfortunately, we were not surprised to see that the DVD+R9 media was not compatible with most stand-alone DVD players, since there is no official booktype setting utility provided by NEC. The Double Layer is recorded with DVD+R DL booktype.
