	I've been using Nero CD-DVD Speed for many years but I did not really like its replacement Nero DiscSpeed which was quickly turning into bloatware. I was happy to see that Opti Drive Control continued on the same path as Nero CD-DVD Speed: many features with low memory/disk usage. However the first versions did not really add much value over the free (but discontinued) Nero CD-DVD Speed although ODC did include some nice function such as the option to run multiple tests automatically and the option to autosave a screenshot after each test. But version 1.30 includes several new functions which cannot be found in Nero CD-DVD Speed: the FE/TE test is a very nice way to check the best burn speed *before* actually burning data to it and with this version I can finally measure jitter on the second layer with my LiteOn. As for the value for money: I use it to check the integrity of my backup DVDs (mainly photos) which are worth much more than $25. Posted August 01, 2009 by Twitter911.

	It costs too much! I seem to recall the price was $15 initially, now raised to $25. I went back to possibly buy it for $15 but it had been jacked up in the meantime. No way, Jose! He must be dreaming... :) Posted July 29, 2009 by JohnnyBob. Tool version ? using OS WinXP Ease of use 1 of 10 Functionality 1 of 10 Value for money 1 of 10 Overall score 1 of 10
