I have a NEC 16x dual layer DVD burner and was wondering what is the norm speed when it comes to burning DVDs and/or having a more expensive burner will allow greater average speeds.
I've read that to get the best possible score, you must test an unencrypted DVD. So I pulled out my wedding video, (to my knowledge it's unencypted) and tested the burn speed on Nero. The process took roughly 10-15mins and after it was done, the "average" speed rating was listed at 11.43x with a "maximum" burn speed listed at 15.16x. Is this a good speed, average, or below average speed?
While the test was taking place, my speed rate (the green line as I recall) was going at a steady rate up and to the right on the graph in Nero. However, as it approached the very end of reading, it took 3 dips, but bounced back to continue on its course upward and to the right.
