The writing process was finished after 38:35 minutes. The average speed was 2.29X as reported by CopyToDVD software. The recorded disc had DVD+R9 format booktype setting.

Verbatim DL

The writing process was finished after 38:34 minutes. The average speed was 2.30X as reported by CopyToDVD software. The recorded disc had DVD+R9 format booktype setting.
