DVD reading tests

- Single Layer DVD-ROM (Click for CDSpeed results)

- Dual Layer PTP DVD-ROM (Click for CDSpeed results)

- Dual Layer OTP DVD-ROM

The first layer of an OTP dual layer DVD-ROM is read exactly the same way as the first layer of the PTP disc we tested previously. The difference here is the reading strategy of the second layer on the disc. The beginning of the second layer is located in the outer part of the disc, so the drive starts reading from the outer tracks inwards towards the inner tracks of the disc.

- DVD Ripping Tests

We measured the DVD-Video ripping speed for the TEAC DV-W58G-A using the latest version of DVD Decrypter. The DVD Video title is the "Matrix" pressed DVD-Video.

The graph above shows that the TEAC drive is very fast in this procedure. The average speed of 6.8x is very good.

- DVD Recordable / Rewritable reading Tests

The chart below shows the Nero CDSpeed average reading speed results with the following media:

• 8x DVD+R
• 4x DVD+RW
• 8x DVD-R
• 4x DVD-RW

In the previous tests Teac performed exceptionally with high speed, the fastest seek times and high ripping speed.
