Reviewed by Ljpp MID: OPTODISC OR8 Media type: DVD+R Recording drive: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-111 (firmware 1.29) Write speed: 8x Scanning drive: LITE-ON DVDRW SOHW-1653S Selected scan speed: 4x Manufacturer website: http://www.samsung.com/ User comment: OPTODISC is not among the most famous DVD media manufacturers, but based on various reviews on the Internet, their quality seems quite decent. The fact that electronics giant like Samsung is trusting their media is certainly a very good reference. Based on the small sample batch we received, this 8x media is a top class performer. PIF and PIE levels are very low, while the PIE does show slight increasing towards the end. More testing and daily usage is needed to make conclusions, but this seems like a very promising media.
