Review on πŸ”₯ IRiver Magic Format Double DVDΒ±RW: Next-Level DVD Burning Quality and Speed" by Billy Branch

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Slow writing, there are problems with the format.

I bought this DVD burner and installed it on my PC (HP xw4100 workstation, 2.0 GHz processor, 512 MB memory). Although I can use this DVD burner, I am disappointed for the following reasons: (1). Slow Write Speed: I can usually only get 0.4x to 0.8x speed for CD-R media, which is much slower than the advertised 16x(2). formatting issues. I have created some DVDs with Nero Express and found that some DVDs are unreadable, for example the NEC DV 5700A DVD/CD-ROM from my Dell Dimension 4100. While the DVD my friend created with a different DVD burner, can be read from him. Therefore, I do not want to recommend this product. Check cnet.com's DVD burner review to buy another one. PS I saw a good review for this product on Circuitcity.com so I bought it. But when I tried to post the exact same information I found (with a low rating) on Circuitcity.com, the site kept rejecting my low-rated post. It looks like their politics. I think Revain is way better than CircuitCity in that regard.
