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)

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


I have to create an account in an image hosting web site to post my benchmark


Anyways

Cheers,

Once I bought a LiteON only used for 2 days it was gone!! When I went to claim warranty I over heard the guy @ the shop saying "another LiteON returned"

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.

You don't really need an account in imageshack or anywhere to upload an image.

Ok here's from the Imation Disks I have..

DVD

Not bad at all. I expected much worse results.

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.
