Writing Quality Tests - C1 / C2 Error Measurements

Here we measured the C1 / C2 error rate on the recorded discs we burned at the various supported writing speeds. The software we used is the CDSpeed CD Quality Test. As a reader we used the Plextor Premium drive for retrieving the error rate information.
