- Writing Tests

The Samsung TS-H552 model supports Double Layer media recording with writing speed up to 2.4X. We burned a Verbatim DVD+R DL and a Traxdata 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). We used the latest version of CopyToDVD software to burn the image file to Traxdata Double Layer media. We chose the "GLADIATOR.ISO" image and we selected the LG burner to start burning.

The recorder needed sometime to initialize the inserted media and the recording process started after some seconds. Total burning time reported by CopyToDVD was 37:25mins with 2.36X average writing speed.

We then repeated the same procedure with Verbatim Double Layer media. CopyToDVD required 18:13mins total burning time with 5X average writing speed.

For comparison reasons, we post some burning results with other DL writers, which all burned the same content ("Gladiator Movie - Special Edition" disc1), using the CopyToDVD software:

Up till now, the TDK 1616N has been the fastest DL device, but in this case, the Samsung TS-H552U wins the title of the fastest DL recorder, burning the Gladiator image in only 18:13, with an average speed of 5X.
