Nero CD Speed in Pioneer 106D

Very Good. I have run the test on about 3 or 4 different copies and all results were identical.

Nero CD Speed in LiteOn 165

The DVD played very well in a Pioneer 636 and a Ronin P215 DVD player with fast scene access right to the end of the DVD.

Update - The price of these blanks has recently dropped significantly as it seems that they have gone the same way as most datawrite media (reduced cost and quality). I can no longer recomend these.
