In late April, we have slowly introduced a new feature to collect anonymous data about the burning process. These statistics are collected in a MySQL database and we used this database to focus our attention on some optical drives. The database contains information like drive model, firmware, media type and brand, burn speed and if the burn has completed successfully or not. As of today the database contains more than 3 million records, collected by VSO products such as CopyToDVD, BlindWrite, PhotoDVD and DivxToDVD but also by some 3rd party products which use VSO technology (Burning SDK).
Today you can benefit from the first results. What are the most popular CD and DVD writer manufacturers? What is the best DVD format to use (+R or -R). Is it that important to update the firmware? To know more about this, read on...
Database summary
| Total records | 3,4 million | | Average hits per day | 30 000 new records | | Ratio success | 92,5 % | | Number of drives | 1659 | | Number of media | 842 | | Number of drive manufacturers | 34 | | Number of media manufacturers | 18 |
With 30000 new records per day we can quickly analyse a new drive's behaviour and detect compatibility issues. We use this database for support, suggesting the best drive or the best media brand for customers. The average success rate is 92.5%, some people may consider it not very high, but the behaviour of customers leads to believe they try several times in case the burn fails, and before realizing it is an issue of poor media quality, or another reason, the success rate is lowered. As we will see later, the best drive combined with the best media can increase the success rate up to 97%.
It's interesting to see that there are more than 1600 different drive models, and 800 different media.
As we will see later, the top 5 drive manufacturers represent more than 80% of the market.
