The reason that you didn't get a score is that your burner doesn't support PIF which is what CD/DVD Speed Test uses to generate that score. Try DVDInfoPro and see if your burner can give you a result.

This scan sucks. Your total PIF is insanely high. The score of 90 is based soley on your max. PIF of 4 which is not great but acceptable. Your total PIF should be less than a 1000 for a single layer disc. Really they should be less 500 for very good burns. I usually get around 300+ total with Taiyo Yuden 8x +R's and less than 100 PIF totals with Verbatim 8X +R. Nobody knows for sure if high total PIF's will cause a dvd to not play properly. Most people do think a lot of PIF errors will eventually render the dvd useless. I burned a dvd a couple years ago that played fine at the time. I tried to play it a couple weeks ago and it stuttered and froze 20 minutes in. I scanned it and it had a lot of PIF errors. Stick to good media and maybe even burn at slower speeds. I find 8x is best with my Benq 1655.

Actually, I'm not sure if your Liteon 167t is 1 ecc or 8 ecc. If it's 8 ecc then a max. PIF of 4 is great. If it's 1 ecc then it's just barely acceptable. Either way, your total PIF is off the charts. Horrible. Use Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden +R's and if you still get crappy results then get a new burner. Benq 1655 rules.

I don't think your Liteon 167t is good for quality scanning either. I'm pretty sure I've read many posts saying it's not accurate for that kinda thing.

Your burn doesn't show what media you are using. What is it, Make and media code?

Try setting your total size to under 4400MB, something like 4300 or 4360MB. If you look at the last part of your burn you begin to see more PIF errors and by doing this, it should increase your burn Quality score even more.
