- Writing Performance

The Pioneer DVR-110D supports 16X CAV, 12x ZCLV, 8x ZCLV for both DVD±R media. Below is the supported burning speed reported by Nero upon media insertion.

By using Nero CD-DVD Speed with DVD-R and DVD+R media, we are able to see the supported writing strategy for each speed and format for this burner.

- DVD+R media @ 16X

- DVD+R media @ 12X

- DVD+R media @ 8X

- DVD-R media @ 16X

- DVD-R media @ 12X

- DVD-R media @ 8X

- DVD+RW media @ 8X

- DVD-RW media @ 6X

- Burning Tests

We burned 4315MB of data on various DVD±R, DVD±RW media. We used the maximum allowed writing speed for each disc.

Note here that the media lists for both formats will be updated later on with more media, as soon as a firmware release is made available.

- DVD-R/-RW media

As we will see in the next pages, the supported media list is somewhat limited. Only several media are supported at the 16X burning speed (five to be exact) while we have a variety of media that can be oversped. Best burn (fastest) came with the MKM media @ 16X in 6:02mins.

- DVD+R/+RW media

Once more, a limited media list. We burned three out of five media supported in the drive's media list. Again we have a variety of oversped capable media with the DVR-110D drive. Best case here, Verbatim media burned @ 16X in 6:24mins.

- Comparison with other drives

The Pioneer DVR-110D was the fastest with DVD±RW media, though speed differences are marginal. With Write Once media, the DVR-110D managed to achieve good times, although it wasn't the fastest in this comparison test.

- DVD Overburning Tests

Using Nero CD-DVD Speed, we tested to see if the drive can overburn using DVD+R and DVD-R media. Unfortunately, the drive does not support overburning.

- DVD+MRW Tests

The drive doesn't support the Mount Rainier feature.
