Oops.. I'll fix those later after I go see EP3 again.

Great review again, Ian
The drive seems to be better than the previous drives, taht´s fact. But Liteon still have to improve the writing-quality @16x, only the Verbatim´s are with a good quality.
But again I wonder about the PIF-levels. The PIF-max are in most cases only 3, only with Ritek + DL and Optodisc +R 16x are higher. When I look at the previous reviews of some other writers this is a little confusing because other writers with general better writing-quality have higher max-PIF
Do the Liteon-drives maybe chaeting when scanning media written by a Liteon?

You aren't the first to bring this up. Someone in the industry that I trust a lot also mentioned this to me.

Yeah, I think that's the reason why PI/PIF scans with Lite-On drives always look better than they are.

Maybe we all should looking for a very bad reader to test burn-quality. If the bad drive read the media without problems the burn-quality must be high.
