TEAC DV-W512G Dual DVD±RW Recorder - Page 16

To check exactly what the drive reports when measuring DVD media, we compare the scans of four different media burned on other recorders, with the well known AudioDev SA300 DVD CATS system. We used four reading speeds, with DVD+R media:

• 12X CAV
• 3~8X CAV
• 2~6X CAV
• 4X CLV

Please note that the posted results are only valid for the specific tested drive. Using other DV-W512G drives can produce totally different results. Be aware!

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 12X Reading speed

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 8X Reading speed

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 6X Reading speed

#1st Test Disc - PISum8/PIF Comparison - 4X Reading speed

With this test disc, all reading speeds 12X, 8X, 6X, 4X showed that at the end of the disc, the PI/PIF error rate increases compared with the SA300 system which also measure similar performance.

The reading speed does seem to affect the reported error rates. However the 8X & 6X speeds reported much lower error rates than at 4X CLV, which is a little disconcerting...
