I purchased a Lite-on 811S and I must say that i am terribly disappointed. Spec wise this drive was superior to the other burners i was considering. Pioneer 107 and NEC 2500a. I have tried burning dvds with Nero 6, Roxio 7, and Ulead dvd movie factory 3.0. I get mixed results with the different softwares using the same dvds. I was using Prodisc -R @ 4x. Nero will lock up just before starting to burn. Roxio and Ulead both burn with mixed results. I get some disk that will play and some that won't in my standalone dvd. CD burning is weird. Nero burns all cd's perfectly. roxio will not burn at full speed. 12x max. Ulead either burns perfect or keeps burning until i power off the computer. I have tried each software on a clean install of XP SP1 with nothing else installed. Same results. I have also installed the included software RecordNow DX 4.6 and burn perfectly ever time no matter what disc i use. Only problem is i hate the interface of Recordnow. My software of choice is Nero followed by Roxio 7 in a close second. I would really like to get nero to work properly with all disc so that it will be the only burning software on my computer. How can I achieve this. Have also burned to memorex +RW @4X only to burn at no more than 2X
