Nero CD-DVD Speed: Basic DVD Tests

The second group of tests is concerned with DVD formats. I used six discs to get a full picture of performance of the drives: a DVD-ROM with a video movie and its copies made on DVD-R (Digitex), DVD-RW (TDK), DVD+R (Fujifilm), and DVD+RW (Verbatim) discs. I also used a dual-layer DVD+R from RIDATA with MPEG-4 movie files.

The Pioneer DVR-110D couldn’t read the DVD+R DL disc and was somewhat unconfident at processing the DVD-R and DVD-RW discs, as indicated by the data-transfer rates on the appropriate graphs above. Contrary to its opponent, the Toshiba SD-R5472 performed successfully with each media type.
