Phenomenal test of DVDRW media

[pepst]

Dr. Gough Lui did not disappoint again and prepared what is certainly the most detailed, thorough, and laborious test of DVD RW media ever conducted. He tested the resistance of RW media to repeated rewrites, and the test yielded a few surprises.

I highly recommend reading it; it is an incredible piece of work:

A very interesting article and tests. Even though I didnt understand some of the highly technical descriptions, I found the article to be informative.
Do you know if anyone has done any similar tests on CD-RWs?

I suppose we'll see something like that in the future.

There's a second part to the test; once again, I can't imagine (or rather, I can) just how much time and effort all of this must have taken.

A fascinating collection, so far I have only read the first article, I wont have time for the second one today.
That reminded me that I have an Imation DVD-RW 4x lying around on my desk, but it looks a little different from the one in the article, and Media Type ID is OPTODISCW004. I also have an Imation DVD+RW 8x here, thats the Philips RW8-000. Ill read the next part tomorrow.
