I can't read all these graphs, but it seems as if dvr-108 was best? that's right?

Thanks for the interesting test!


The results echo the results of c't magazine 21/2004.

In that, Pioneer was consistently the best in burning 16x disc. Of course, it didn't always burn them the fastest, but it burned them at best squality (according to CATS).

So, for an ordinary user, who doesn't know about which media to burn at which speed, this is a very wise choise: the drive decides the fastest speed and gives good results.

BTW, does anybody find it ironic that the inventor of DVD-R format got the best results with DVD+R media at high speed and that the inventors of the DVD+R format (Philips ~ BenQ) were amongst the worst :)

The same was apparent in the c't magazine test.

here is a kprobe scan of the mcc004 verbatim 16x dvd +r I got on a video iso burned at 16x on the NEC3500ag firm 2.17 using Nero 6.6...the speed wasnt too great it was 8:00 counting the leadin and leadout :(

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 8 minutes implies a 12x writing speed (on Nec 3500).

Not that it matters to me, if quality is good.
