DVD-R Writing Quality
DVD-R media compatibility and write quality:
In In these tests we will be using a Lite-On LH-20A1P with firmware KL0N along with CD-Speed to measure the disc quality. We will also be using the same drive along with CD-Speed for our read-back tests.

In best case we can rate this result average. If we consider that the disc was only burned at 8x speed then we must say that the result is bad.

Thanks for writing this helpfull article.
I tried the disk quality test (C1/C2 errors) with Nero CD-DVD Speed on my LG drive and it tells me "Invalid Command Operation Code". This obviously means that my LG drive does not support reporting error statistics.
Now my question:
I want to buy a new DVD drive that allows me to check the error rate on my DVDs.
But how do I take the decision which one to buy ?
I already read that there are some drives from Plextor, Benq and LiteOn and others that support this feature and that these are called "Scanners".
But what are the differences between them and where do I find a comparison of these drives and user experiences? The best would be a test in a computer magazine.
I suppose that not all drives support all features.
What are your experiences?
Thanks
