As you will probably have noticed our recent DVD media tests have been carried out on a wider variety of DVD writers.

We currently use 12 different High speed D/L DVD burners to test my media and intend to try out the media in most if not all of these drives to see how it performs giving a good indication as to the compatibility of the media to each particular drive.
We use the drives latest official firmware and although I personally use and approve of the unofficial firmwares, for the purpose of my tests I avoid them wherever possible. Below is the selection of drives I currently use. Click on the thumbnail image of each drive for a detailed description .

The column on the right lists all the media that has been tested to date and included links to some of my early tests that were carried out before started using all these drives.

The drives we are using in this test are the most common ones generally in use
If you are not sure about your drive try and buy a sample disc pack from one of the online retailers or ask your local shop if they will sell individual samples just to be sure.
All the test results in this review are entered into my newly developed Media Quality Spreadsheet with the totals analysed together with the current market price of the media and the value for money is calculated.
My algorithms are incorporated into the testing software DVDInfoPro which is now integrated with LightningUK's Imgburn burning data to produce the newly developed burn speed graph of DVDInfoPro.
Recording are made on each of the drives with Imgburn ISO burn mode and then tested with DVDInfoPro testing software.
These new features have been incorporated in the latest releases of the software which can be downloaded from HERE
