Plextor PX-716A Writer - Page 6

DVD+R DL - Page 1

The drive, according to the manufacturer's specifications, supports 4X writing for the Double Layer format. To confirm, this we burned a DVD+R DL disc with DVD-Video content. 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). Afterwards, we used CopyToDVD latest version. After choosing the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image we selected the Plextor burner and the writing process began.

After 23:33 minutes, the task finished and confirmed the 4X speed. The reported average writing speed according to the CopyToDVD log, was 3.77X.

- Bitsetting

The drive supports this feature for the DVD+R and DVD+R DL formats only. With DVD+RW, there is no such option. We used CDSpeed 3.55 to set the Booktype to DVD-ROM.
