Hi,
I could have posted this in the burns scans, however with the title I figure I'd post it under its own topic. I have been having a problem burning Verbatim MCC-003 8X DVDs at 8X with my LH-20AP1.

This problem occurs with either the KL0A or KL0G firmware. If I do the burns at 6X they look normal (at least with the KL0A firmware)

. I have burned the same media multiple times with my Plextor 716SA at 8X and don't have the same problem. With the Verbatims at 8X with the LiteOn I'll get maybe 1 in 5 that aren't bad while everyone I've burned at 6X looks ok. I've included scans for the burns (Using ImgBurn) and all the scans were done using Nero CD/DVD Speed with the LH-20AP1 (Plex's won't work with Nero, however as a check I have run the scans with Plextools Pro and get similar results for either the good or bad burns). Hopefully the labels on the burn and scan files will be self explanatory. Sorry for the large number of PNGs.

Has anyone else experienced this problem. Other than burning at 6X what might be the fixes. Does LiteOn have some issue with the firmware for this type of media?

I haven't put the firmware back to KL0G to try a 6X burn yet. I need to check on the RW issue 1st.

Also apparently once one updates the firmware with the LiteOn update, on can not go back to another down level version of the firmware using the LiteOn programs. I had to back up from the KL0G to the KL0A using my binary backup file I made using C0deKing's tools

Thanks for any help or insight.

PS the media is Verbatim DataLifePlus from RIMA
