well look at this bad boy. no 98 but for it being the 8x+r ty that i have had a problem with on my LH-18A1P before the new FW update. this is sweet speacially from the 2 gig mark on, all the way out to the edge without a spot on it....this should have been a 98....plus under 7000 Pie's and under 50 Pif's
for those if you that know my problem with the 8x media on this drive. i no longer have that problem...lol
@hobbit
yes liteon got it right on this update...
@greensman
you might wanna give this one a try....

Fantastic scan cincy!

yea i was kinda scared to try them again on the 18x drive but this new firmware update seems to have fixed the problem with the 8x media. that last scan was too sweet. take out that little spike at the beginning adn thats almost a perfect scan.. i have about 7 of them hub printable 8x+r TY's and about 10-12 non printable 8x+r TY's but i did just get me 50 of the 16x+r TY's to play with.. might just have to get some more 8x...lol

Went looking for a reason to do some more burning (to test the new firmware) and found one!
These are in time order. The 3rd one is a batch of -R TYs (silver printable).



From looking at the advanced tab in ImgBurn, the new Liteon firmware has appears to have native OverSpeed, Forced Hypertuning & Online Hypertuning.

Got a new toy to play with with a Matshita UJ-841S drive. Testing it out with some -Rs. Initial burns with DLs not too good. I hope they improve or I'll look seriously at swapping out the drive with something that's good (and scans!).
In chronological order, burned with ImgBurn @ 4X.

hobbit,
I would consider trading that drive in for something of "more or better" quality. I know that the Matshita's are not known for being quality drives for burning, and that's more important than scanning at this point. :P
You might consider another Lite-On but maybe the LH-18A1P instead. :) I looked the other day and they or the 20X were on sale again at Newegg. With these new f/w and the additions that C0deKing programs into the fb and eos f/w you almost can't beat the drive for the money. NOW I like the Pioneer too, so a choice in that direction isn't bad either. ;)
....gm
edit: btw hobbit I have a package to mail to you. You still able to convert VHS? PM me with the news. :) thanks!

Looking for recommendations for laptop dvd burner replacement. This MatSHITa is named correctly. From what I've read, I've been lucky not to have any problems ripping.
Hasn't been the greatest burning either. No burn failures but +R TYs scoring in the 70-60s at a 4-8x burn. Lets not talk about burning DLs, they're a mess and only burn @ 2.4x
On the lighter side, I've figured out how to use up my Ritek DLs in a hurry! LOL

Here's a scan of a burn out of the MatSHITa drive. Overall, looks great (haven't played it yet), but look at the jitter line. It stops at the layer break. I had a "No Sense" error at that point.
This is a Verb DL burned @ 2.4X with ImgBurn.

Hey hobbit112
Yeah I have one of those lovely Matshita drives in my lappy.
Fine for cd's (so far at least!) but dvd's can be another story.
I wouldn't even attempt a dual layer on it - you're brave :)
Heck last week I wanted to finish watching a movie outside so popped a dvd in the drive and guess what won't even recognize it. Next day tried another dvd (same TY's) and this time it played.
Mine can be the same w/ originals too - hit or miss.

Hi Binkie!
I haven't had a problem with the drive recognizing disks, yet. I'm not too thrilled that it says it'll burn my lovely TY 16Xs at 8X max.(haven't found any slim drives which do yet)
The 4.7 dvd burns aren't too bad (but could be much better) but it better start improving the DL burns or this drive is gone.
BTW, just put in a new order for 2 cake boxes of Verb +R DLs from rima. $47.50 ea for 2 plus addl 5.58 shipping.

Yeah the slimlines are max burn speed of 8x.
I've had mine for almost 2 years.
All I burn on it are Taiyo - and even sometimes after it's done burning it doesn't recognize them - though they play in a player fine.
Fails when I use 16x Verbs.
I don't do a lot of dvd burning with it though - I leave that up to the big boys :) (LiteOns or Pioneer)
edit to add: Are the dl's you picked up at Rima the printables?

Yep, they're the printables.
1871 Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD+R 8.5GB, DL, 2.4X , White Inkjet Printable, 20-Pack (95123) 2 $47.50 $95.00
Shipping: UPS Ground: $5.58 Sales Tax: $0.00
I agree on the Matshita, it's messed up a couple of TYs of mine already too in addition to the dls. I see lite-on has a slim line drive, wonder how's it's reputation? Will have to do some research.
And now to stay on topic, here's a TY I burned this am on my BenQ @ 4X with Nero:

Tks on the tip on the dual layer!
I picked up an external instead - LiteOn. I use that at times when I burn dvd's on the lappy.
I'll have to do some scans to stay on topic:)

ok my friends got a scan here.. not good not bad.. but what makes it good in my eyes is the speed of the burn,, i turned on smartburn and maxed this 16x+r verb out and burnt it at 18x. actually 17.8 is as high as i got to see it go. here is a screen shot of imageburn and the burning speed.

and here is the scan.. a little scary at the end there but what do ya expect for a 4.4gig disc burnt at 18x...lol

gonna back it down and burn like a normal person...lol will post the reburn...lmao

rob try it at 16X and see what you get. I've seen some impressive burns at CDF's lately with the 18X and 20X Lite-ons. :)
Gotta do some burning myself, been busy with other stuff. :)

Hello All, well I updated my drive to the new GLOH firmware here are some results.......
This is with the new firmware GLOH with Verbatim ...

results with TY media burned on my NEC drive.

results with Ritek office depot media, burned on my NEC which really works well with this media :)

one of my first burns from a few years ago with Memorex CMC Mag media when i thought any dvd was as good as the next my daughter could not get this to play... i wonder why ?? also the disk looked flawless on the bottom no scratches or fingerprints.

Hope you all had a great 4th! /unjust
