RiDisc 16x Speed DVD-R

The 16x speed media is now readily available at an affordable price

I have over 20 different types to put through their paces to see if they will live up to 16x speed burning

I am selecting 2 similar types for each of my tests and intend to show a side by side comparison of each media using the latest version of DVDInfoPro with Progressive Colored Scanning, I am able to show the excessive PI/PO errors as a visual change in color with some awesome graphs. I have indicated the best graph of each pair and show the final result as to which I consider the best of these two medias
