This will also help people to choose the best media for their DVD burners...hopefully :)

P.S.
Different drives will count errors differently. For example, the number of errors shown by my Benq drive is for 4 blocks. Liteon drives show for 1 block each. So 8 errors of Benq drive is comparable to 2 errors of Liteon (I mean, error spikes...not the total errors)

[AlienX]

With lot of experiance I can say LiteOn is the best.

Samsung - worst writer ever, doesnt support alot of media brands... :(

Sony - looks better in the first few weeks, but afterwards starts sucking alot :(

MSI - I'd say #3 in the list. Quiet :) & long lasting, But afteer about 2 years sucks alot :(. I'ts not very good in preventing crc errors in copying, burning... etc

ASUS - hmm shape. Sometimes pissu kelina scene ekak thiyenwa :(. But fairly good :)

Benq - #2 wage daanna puluwan.

LiteON- #1 pattama sira, Ive burnt like 300+ dvds in my rom & only like 2 of them failed, even those were due to overburning. Advantages includes cool firware upgrades :) :) :)

Then I bought a SONY DRU-810 and its rock SOLID, 2 years still no probs what so ever!!

[zCexVe]

AFAIK LiteON are the best now .Sony used to be good with 810/820(BenQ)but with NEC optiarc and samsung(830/840/170)They are sucking.
ASUS have LG things byt really as told b4 they have pissu kelina times like yesterday too.MSI havent used.Crappiest may be Mercury.

You should know that Benq and LiteON are the same company. LiteOn bought Benq in 2006.

I have friends who have had bad expeeriences with LiteOn drives.

If I had to buy a DVDRW today, I would probably go with Asus.

Quality score represents the errors, but not 100% accurately.

Lower the errors the better. (total as well as spike heights)

The maximum spike size should be 280 per block for PI errors and 4 per block for PI Failures. (most drives can't show jitter)

It means you are supposed to throw that DVD out and try some other brand.
This is the absolute maximum. You shouldn't even go half way there...

Yes. Some DVD Burners like some DVDRs...and dislike other DVDRs. There isn't a drive that performs perfectly with every DVDR. Sometimes the DVDRs will be of high quality but the incompatibilities with the DVD Burner will give a bad result. You have to test with different DVDs (Media IDs) abd when you find one that works perfectly, stick with it...Don't buy anything else.

It's good. But don't always compare with the score.

Look at my results.
* I got almost the same amount of total PI Failures (but I had few spikes higher than your maximum, but still well within the limits)
* I had less than 10 times the PI Errors.

You drive is fine. Maybe just the drive hasn't "learned" how to burn discs with that MID with less PI Errors. (If self learning is turned on for "known" MIDs)

Do you have any other media?

I've written only Verbatim discs with this drive and the first one I wrote had lot of PI errors compared to this one....
this result is of the 8th disc i've written.....so i guess it improved a lot:)

[earthling]

But the quality score also depends on how long ago you burned the disk ne ? cause the Samsung one I burned about 3 months back had no errors what so ever..got a 100% quality score (Check the 5th page at bottom for the screenshots).. bt I'm sure if I do the same test, on the same CD after a year later.. I'll get a below 95% quality result with lots of C1 errors....

So Think its a good idea to say roughly how long ago u burned the disk when posting screen shots..

That speaks about the quality of the dics. But you can see when the disc was burned. (date)

You can never get a 100% score in DVDs though.

The newer SH-223 still seems too new, and immature in firmware dept. 22x is unrealistically fast for the crappy media you find in SL. You either have to buy Taiyo Yuden or Mitsubishi Chemical discs to even think about 20x+ speeds.

Hey, post a quality scan, not just a transfer rate benchmark.

I'm not sure. I think it should be the Errors tab. But this looks like the right one, from the graphs.

If this is real, you better make another copy of the disc. This is the worse burn I've seen in my entire life. But these graphs do not tally with the transfer rate benchmark. You should have gotten errors right from the beginning if this was real. :/
