The Plex 708a is the drive i'd prefer, but simply is too expensive atm (wife n kids etc etc) .. I am just waiting today for the guy I bought it from to test one of his in stock to see if mine is faulty or these Liteons really are completely hopeless at reading DVD-R.

An interesting sidenote, after checking the manual (on disc as a pdf *bleh*) it lists recommended/compatible media for all formats *except* DVD-R. To me that just underlines the fact that Liteon can't even recomend a DVD-R disk to use as these are so bad on the current firmwares. A shame as otherwise its a good drive (if that makes sense when it can't read dvd-r)

nm, looks like an exchange for a pioneer 106 for me then, didn't really want one cos of slooow 16x cdr, beggars can't be choosers i guess.

Eeek!

This should have been in the thread:
Lite-On 411S - 2 different firmware variants?

perhaps a moderator can move it or something pls.

Sorry, and thanks

411S firmware variants issue is not confirmed yet. Taiyo Yuden and Fujy DVD-R Media perform very well with 411. Try them if you already have the drive.

Good luck.
Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
And in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
Enjoy such liberty. - Richard Lovelace
