Subject: IPSG DVD Media Test Rev. 3




Rules:

  • Use a known good DVD movie image of not less than approximately 4.2GB and not more than 4.4GB.
  • If there are no vendor code or ring codes readable then put No Code in appropriate cells.
  • ALL burns are from DVD movie image on the HD for repeatability. If this rule is not followed it will skew the test data.
  • ALL burns will use Nero Express 6.3.0.2. If this rule is not followed it will skew the test data.
  • Attempt to burn ALL media even if cosmetic defects are found.
  • The DVD reader can be a Consumer Electronics (CE) device (DVD Player), but some CE devices may not read good burns on some media because of the speed.
  • If the CE device fails to read then try another DVD drive to play the burned DVD.


Setup Note:
You may have to update the firmware or burning application for the DVDR optical device to get a good burn @ max speed.
