Memorex DVD-R 4x

The second DVD-R blank rated for 4x speed proved to be a completely different product, manufactured by Moser Baer India Ltd. This disc differs visually from the previous one in having the red circle with the text “No.1” on the paper insert in its case. Another point of difference became apparent during the tests: Nero Burning ROM permitted to burn this disc at 8x speed, too. We refused this offer, though, sticking to the chosen test methods.

The scanning of the operational surface of the disc says everything’s OK with its quality. The maximums of PI errors and failures are within the norm. The quality of the recording layer is quite stable along the entire disc. So, we vote in favor of this one – it definitely deserves your consideration.

Philips DVD+RW 4x

The blank selling under the Philips brand is actually made by Ritek Corp.

The results of this disc in the tests are very good, if not perfect. The maximums of the errors are much lower than the limits set by the standards. Then, the overall stability of the disc is visible from the diagrams. So, here’s another good DVD+RW for you.
