Granted, it's not terrible, but I'm being picky and I want +95%. I've seen others score with 95% and above.
As you can see, the discs are 16x Verbs MCC04 that are burned at 6x.
The drive is up to date (unless liteon released a firmware update within the last week). My E: drive was my original burn drive. I've since switched over to F:, which is what is pictured (the E: is now the ripper).
Both have contributed to 2100+ DVD burns, not to mention all the other burns for music, data etc. The drives are: SHW-1635S and SOHW-1673S.
Suggestions?
For the record, I never have playback issues. It's just like watching the originals. Am I just being picky?

Yes, you are being picky, as long as they are playing back flawlessly with a max spike of 4 P.I.F. this disk is still pretty good. Are you multitasking while burning? I've gotten better results burning at 12X with my lite-on drives. Remember, the way Lite-On is scored with Nero burn speed, to get above a 95 you need to have a max of one to get a 98 score, each point takes away about 2.5 points from the quality score. Using a program such as DVDInfo Pro will consistantly give you 98s with your disk/burner. My esteemed colleage CincyRob justs likes playing with this program to see if he can beat a 6 score posted by a fellow number cruncher. Don't get me wrong it is a useful program, but the final test is how it looks in the standalone DVD player hooked up to your TV screen.

Good tip; did not know that! I will try 12x with my next burn.
I didn't know DVDInfoPro had a scanner. I gotta try that now.
Thanks for the great tips!
EDIT: I forgot to mention: the reason I switched to 6x is because when I was burning at 8x, it would take longer for the drive to "turn over." I think the actual term, according to IMGburn, is "initializing." I forget at the moment but when you hit the icon to burn, you hear the disc start to spin, then it slows, speeds up again, and is repeated for about a minute. That was on 8x. Since I've moved down to 6x, the aforementioned "problem" lasts for about 15 seconds.

When I use ImgBurn, it initializes for about 45-60 seconds, writing the lead in, then goes into burn mode.
The majority of my DVD burning is done with AnyDVD and CLoneDVD2. One click transcoding at its best. Takes about 25 minutes to complete the task. I still have my original Sony DRU-510A in the kids computer, and my Sony DRU-800A (Flashed to a lite-on 1693S using KC4B firmware) both with lots of burns on them

I thought maybe after 2,000+ burns, the drive will go, but I guess not. I picked up some more movies today while I was out, and they all scored the same thing.
