I hope BTC read this from this review
Quote:
Another strange thing we noticed is that it starts writing longer away from the centre of the disc compared to other writers. We are unsure if this may affect the reading compatibility with some drives. Below are pictures to illustrate this.
Both scans is of a RitekG04 DVD-R disc. The Lite-On LDW-411S wrote discs similar to the Mediagear written discs with the earlier firmware versions, and those discs was not playable in many standalone DVD players and X-box consoles. With later firmware versions Lite-On fixed both the strange DVD-R writing issue and the compatibility problem.
But we can’t say for sure if this “Starts writing longer away from the centre” “problem” is related to compatibility and playability. But we do know that all other writers we have (Pioneer, NEC, LG, Lite-On, Plextor and Pioneer) starts writing closer to the centre than the Mediagear drive. This affects DVD-R/RW only and not DVD+R/RW.
