Introduction
In our latest media review we get to take a look at the Best premium grade 16x DVD-R media from BeAll developers. It's the first time CDR-Zone.COM have had the opportunity to take a look at any media from BeAll Developers and we are glad to finally get the chance to add this range of media to our review database. As it is the first time that media has been reviewed from BeAll developers it will be interesting to see what type of media quality and drive compatibility can be achieved during this review.
The BeAll's DVD-R media feature a reliable and cost effective format for data and video
recording, distribution, and archiving with a life expectancy over one hundred years.
The BeAll Best 16x DVD-R premium grade media came to us for reviewing in two spindles of 25 making a total of 50 pieces available for testing for this review. It consists of a non printable top surface an a light purple recording layer with the BeAll Best branding.

With a cost effective claim from the developers we could expect that this media may not have the same high quality as the more expensive Miflop Xtreme branded Taiyo Yuden 16x DVD-R media we reviewed earlier in the year, but the developers also claim 100 year archival life expectancy. This is something that is very hard to proof in test enviroments, but to hold on to this claim we would expect to see a very well recorded pit in our advanced disc quality tests and no obvious physical defects on the dye side of any of the BeAll Best 16x DVD-R media tested during this review.
