Okay. I'm having bad results with the Lite-On LTR-52327S and firmware QS0C, with Mitsubishi / Verbatim Datalife Plus (MCC) discs, especially those from Mexico. The Taiwan made ones are much better, but still pretty alarming. It's not a faulty drive because results with Maxell and Ritek are awesome. And it's not the disc, because the Azos work fine in the Plextor Premium and TDK DVD 440N writer.
It's strange, but under NERO CD Quality Scan, the MCC disc gets 0.0 for quality score and heaps of C1 and C2 errors. The Ritek gets a 99.9 score with zero C2 errors and very low C1 errors.
So it appears that it's a mismatch of media and drive ? I'm not saying this Lite-On is a bad drive, it certainly isn't with other media besides MCC. It's just I'm a bit puzzled how some of you are getting excellent write quality with your MCC discs and the LTR-52327S. The QS0B is only very slightly better.
I really like MCC discs and would like to use them with my LTR-52327S. Appears I have to use Ritek / maxell instead. TY discs are too expensive here.
