The TDK is a re-badged one, haven't seen it yet under the Lite-On brand name though.

They're readily available in Germany, under 100 Euros retail (not bulk). In fact, I just ordered one. :D

I think emperor got a messed-up drive. He's asking for a replacement now. I've seen a few people burn at 12x okay...

1213S is OK for 12x DVD burner.

Here's the list of media codes that are officially supported in the stock TS08 firmware:

Code: Select all
MAXELL  /002/00
MCC     /003/00
MCC     /004/00
RICOHJPN/R02/03
SONY    /D11/00
YUDEN000/T02/00


Of these codes, the only ones that I've seen widely available are Ricoh R02 (sold under a variety of brands, including Fuji 8x +R), the T02 code (TY 8x +R), and the MCC003 code (Verbatim 8x +R).

Of course, with a bit of twiddling with the OmniPatcher, you can get it to burn any +R media at 12x (no gaurantees on how the quality of such overspeeding will turn out, of course). ;)

Yeah, it'll be my first DVD burner. I hope the "enjoy" part will come to pass. :o

I chose this one because it uses the new LiteOn layout/chipset (1213S) and hopefully will have some upgrade channels opening up in the future. I don't need DL (not into movies much) and 8x is fast enough for me. So why a 12x drive? Well, if a drive is laid out for 12x, it shouldn't have too many (mechanical) problems at 8x or less. Also I'm frugal (read stingy) and it's cheaper than the 832S or a (gasp) Plextor. (And it's nice to have the option to play around a bit with faster burns :wink:).

Much better media compatibility than the Plextor PX-712a drive when it comes to burning at 12x speed with 8x media. I would love to see a review on this drive.

Good reasoning. I think Zebra over at CDFreaks has one, he seems to be very happy with it.
