I would have thought the same Doc, based on their CD burners, but reading the CD Freaks forums, I see where their DVD products just fall short in a number of key areas, media compatibility being one of them.

I don't want to be tied into one brand of media, because (as we all know) BRANDS don't mean squat because the media can be made by anyone and then badged for resale.

I'm sure there have been some satisfied users, but after doing the research that I should have done initially, I know KNOW not to buy the current series of Lite-ON, and judging by their lack of response to the hordes of people who DO have problems with these drives, I'd be hesitant to involve myself with ANY of their product in the future.

For $25 more, I can get the newest, bestest Pioneer, and their 108 drives have burned any media I've thrown into them so far.
