DATAWRITE TITANIUM FULL FACE PRINTABLE MCC03RG20 16X DVD-R

& PHILIPS MCC03RG20 16X speed DVD-R


I have been fortunate to receive samples of both these media and as my test results show both brands to be similar I am treating this disc as being the same.
The Titanium full face printable is packed in a 25 piece cake-tub and the disc has a smooth matt white surface of 118 x 24 which is marginally smaller than some of the other full face printable media (118 x 22).
The inner non printable area is clear and engraved in it is
MAPA08 JB08045406 5
On the underside in the unused area of the dye is printed
ZD3148-DVR-J47C1

The Philips is packed in a 50 piece cake-tub and the media has a laser cut type matt silvery gold finish with the name PHILIPS cut out in silver and the printing DVD-R underneath in maroon with the rating 1-16x 4.7GB 120mins stencil cut at the bottom in maroon. The is no specific area on this surface to write or print the contents. The inner clear ring had this engraved in it
MAP633 JC13010634 5
On the underside in the unburned area of the dye was printed
ZD3177-DVR-J47C1

The burning surface is even without blemishes and is a light purple in color, the edges of the discs are smooth and even so there should be a good balance with the disc.

This disc was able to reach the maximum burning speed of 16x
This disc also reached the 16x maximum burning speed
PI starts very low at below 10 and not showing any significant increase until just under 3 gig when it rose to just under 20 for a couple of minor peaks followed by two more peaks reaching a maximum of only 48 near the outer edge
Jitter starting about 10% rising to about 12.5% at the end with a some fluctuations and an overall average of 11.6%
PIF apart from 5 minor peaks it is virtually non existent
PI starts well below 10 and remains so up to 4gig when it rises to about 15 there is one spike of 51 in the middle of the scan but otherwise a very good scan indeed
Jitter is 11-12% for most of the scan except for a large peak at the end which i put down to the reader rather than he burner
PIF apart from 1 minor peak it is virtually non existent

Speed test shows a perfect curve

The above 3 tests with the Philips MCC03RG20 in the Pioneer DVR-109 drive show that this media behaves in a similar way to the Titanium media

PIF peak of 1 total 49 could not be much better virtually non existent

The results from this old drive are astounding leaving me lost for words

This 16x TITANIUM media is not what I expected from DataWrite as I was advised that they were going to use the CMCMAG media similar to the media I tested in December. I can however say I am not disappointed with the media which gives the full 16x speed burning capabilities with excellent results especially with the speed read graphs which are all PERFECT. Playback of the video content is quick starting, responsive with chapter skipping and without any picture freezing. These are more discs I can recommend in both the printable and non printable versions. Datawrite WATCH OUT Philips are equaling you in the media quality stakes
