Well Worth Buying
- Pros: Price, Brand, Support all very good. 1st thing I have done after installing the drive is go to the support site http://us.liteonit.com/us/ download the latest firmware and flash the drive. I have bought 3 since last October '06 and together they have burned over 1000 DVD's with Data, CAD Drawings, and a host of assorted other files from MP3s to ISOs and only rarely has there been a bad burn, and always it has been because of a conflict with another application running in background such as a virus scan.
- Cons: The software that comes with it is less than reliable, I use Clone DVD, AnyDVD, Windows XP, DVD Fab Platinum and a host of other backup DVD or CD products and they all worked better than Nero, which is a shame. If they are going to include a program, it should work seamlessly I would figure their engineers swamped inside information on design and adapted but "they did not".
- Other Thoughts: This is not the fastest drive, it works better with DVD -R as I found that +R DVDs do not always play in other devices as well as the -R, I have used several brands of DVD they all seem to work as well, when I have cropped DVD movies from DVD 9 to DVD 5 format I discovered that slowing the speed does produce flawless results, pushing the envelope does not always work well. For best results follow these steps.
1. Up date the drives firmware
2. 1gig of memory at least 512meg in your recording system
3. Stop background applications (Get offline "the internet" first)
4. Use DVD -R
5. Back down from the top speed, if the software says it can do 20x use 16x
6. Use different DVD/CD programs to create you disc, not all systems, circumstance favor one program.
Good, solid DVD Burner
- Pros: Great burner, does anything I'd want it to. Well, just about...
- Cons: No lightscribe Technology. This may not be important for most people, but after I bought it, I wished I would have held out for a burner with lightscribe on it.
- Other Thoughts: Great burner, and great value. Strong buy!
Great burner for price
- Pros: Great burner...100% good burns with Verbatim discs (single and dual layer) Over 100 discs burned...works like a charm...And It's cheap
- Cons: none
