DVD+R/-R Double Layer writing performance and quality:

The LG BH08LS20 supports the DVD+R DL/-R DL standard for writing Double Layer/Dual Layer discs with a size around 8.5 GB at a writing speed of 4x.

DVD+R DL:

For these tests we wrote an image file of a DVD-Video compilation of as near full capacity as possible with Nero Burning ROM. We then used one of our Lite-On burners along with CD-Speed to test the discs quality; we then finally ran a Transfer-Rate-Test on our BenQ DW-1655 using Nero CD-DVD Speed.

The quality scan shows very good results with these 4 X DL media from Verbatim.

We will be testing both of our DL burns with our stand alone players in the “Author’s Page” of this review.
