JVC DVD+RW 2.4x

The box with a rewritable disc from JVC has no indication as to the burn speed it is rated for. The disc itself has no such indication, either. DVD Identifier says the manufacturer of this disc is Ricoh Co. Ltd., and the disc is rated for 2.4x. Our practical tests confirmed the latter point.

The scanning of the disc proved its high quality. The maximums of errors never exceed the acceptable limits. The total of the errors is rather low, too. From the point of view of quality, this disc certainly deserves your attention, if you’re satisfied with its not very high maximum burn speed.

JVC DVD+R 4x

This write-once DVD+R disc from JVC is, like the previous model, a product of Ricoh Co. Ltd.

The quality is high here. The maximums of PI errors and failures fit within the norm, and their total number is exceptionally low. The overall appearance of the diagrams suggests that the quality of the recording layer is uniform along the entire surface of the disc. You can get nothing else but a feeling of deep satisfaction from using such media.
