16x Single Layer Recording & Overburning tests - page 1
One of the great features of the Pioneer DVR 108 is its ability to over speed various types of 8x media at faster speeds. Below we will show you some screenshots of various media being burnt past their rated speeds and show CD Speed graphs of how this is achieved for the media. Also we will show some K-Probe scans to check the media that has been over burnt for PI/PO errors.
A Traxdata 8x-R ( using the Ritek G05 dye ) successfully recording at 12x in Nero:
From the below screenshot from CD Speed, it can be noted that the 12x recording was achieved by first starting the recording at 6x, then at 10% increasing to 8x until halfway through the recording and finally reaching its 12x recording speed. Achieved by means of Z-CLV recording mode, the average recording time was a very good 9.99x for our 8x rated media and taking 6 minutes 38 seconds to record a full 4.38 GB.
K-Probe scans of the media show that very low PI/PIF errors can be noted and this media is recommended for over burning with the DVR 108.
A Verbatim 8x-R (using the MMC 02RG20 dye code) successfully recording at 12x in Nero. The same Z-CLV recording method is used to record this Verbatim media at up to 12x taking 6 minutes 34 seconds to record 4.38GB.
K Probe was used to check the verbatim media after its overspeed to 12x. It can be noted that slightly higher PI levels where noticed although more importantly lower PIF levels where achieved.
Please Note:
K Probe scans are used for refernce only and gives an indication of how wel the media was recorded on the writer. It does not always mean you have bad media if you have a bad scan although the lower the scan results the better your recording has been.
