DVD Burner: Fire and Flame for DVDs

Eight devices in the test, but no trace of diversity. All DVD-R burners are the same as the Pioneer DVR-A05, with the DVD + R drives being the NEC ND-1100A. Only the Sony multi-format burner is a stand-alone product. Clearly, the -Rund + R drives are very tight in the test. It is interesting that the originals, ie the Pioneer DVR-A05 and the NEC ND-1100A, lead for the respective format. The DVD + R / + RW drives have the whole nose in the front. They are faster, both on DVDs and on CDs. They burn rewritable DVDs with 2.4x instead of 2x speed. With the high data amounts of a DVD they are almost four minutes faster. They are also available as 16/10/40 drives for CDs. If you want to make sure that the self-fired movies run on all DVD players, you should have access to DVD-RW drives. As before, they are undefeated in terms of compatibility. Even the rewritable DVD-RWs do not plague most players, which can not be claimed by the DVD + RWs. In the easy-to-write blanks, the DVD + Rs but the competitors are nothing. Only players from Panasonic deny the service, but the players, not the format is. The multi-format burner from Sony shows light and shadow. Writing and reading all formats: That sounds good and seems to be the way out of the form test. The test shows that this is only partially successful. While the easy-to-write blanks achieved consistently good results, it looked different in rewritable media. Especially DVD + RWs made a lot of home theater problems. In order to burn movies, this format is not to be used with the Sony drive, which is why the predicate “Multiformat” applies only to a limited extent. If you do not want to be part of a format, the Sony DRU- 500AX is a good and above all the only alternative so far. Otherwise the tip is: compare prices. Almost all devices, which now cost 349 euros, will be available very quickly for under 300 euros. Special offers or discounts bring another price advantage. Here the buyer can save 50 to 100 euros.
