- Introduction

The Pioneer DVR-108 along with the ASUS DRW-1604P, are the first ever recorders supporting the 4X DL (CLV) writing speed. The Pioneer DVR-108 will write existing 2.4X Verbatim DL media at 4X.

Below we can see the two supported recording speeds (2.4X and 4X CLV), as DVDInfoPro reports:

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 chose the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image file and we selected the ASUS burner to start burning.

When we pressed "OK", the burning procedure started after 22secs:

The writing process finished after 23:10 minutes.

The average speed was 3.79X as reported by CopyToDVD. The recorded disc had DVD-ROM booktype, important for the highest possible compatibility with DVD players.

We then tried to burn a Double Layer media provided by Traxdata. The disc was recognized without any complaints from the drive, and burning started after 24secs.

The project finished after 38:23mins:

For comparison reasons, we post DL burning results from other writers, with the same disc content and same recording software:

Both the ASUS DRW-1604P and Pioneer DVR-108A drives have the exactly the same recording times at 4X.
