Hi i have a few burners, all of which cannot read some disks bought in south east asia, yet most set top players have no problem reading them.

To avoid buying another burner which uses the same chipset (as is likely to also not read my questionable disks) featured in my current burners i shall list them.

Please note i ONLY use Taiyo Yuden -R media at 4x and only burn video in this case im looking for a burner which performs and is preferred for -R media.

Pioneer 109 and LG 4163

Is the NEC 3520 using the same chipset as the Pioneer 109 or LG 4163 above? Is the NEC known to be a better -R burner rather than a +R burner?

Are there any other -R burners with different chipsets than the 109, LG 4163?

Best

Do not think the brand of burner is your problem - your problem is non legitimate copies bought in south east asia.

I have seen these type of disks and while they will play in a standalone player they are not recognised by a burner or by Windows.

Not sure why they are not recognised by Windows/burner but tend to believe that it may be associated with the use of non-english character in the TOC.
