Media for LDW-411S

[alexsc]

Hi guys,
I have a Liteon LDW-411S and have been having some problems with media.

When I use Laser DVD-R ( 4.7GB, 4X ) then i cant backup movies.

But then I used a Liteon DVD-R that I got with my DVD burner and this did work.

Does anybody know what type of media will work except for the Liteon dvd-r that is compatible with my model?

Thanks,
Alex

never even heard of Laser DVD-R.

try TDK or RITEK, i use the same lite-on 411S with no problems on those 2 medias

I seem to have better luck with +R instead of -R, I've used TDK and Memorex and have had success.

The liteon drive does not come with a -r it comes with a +r, i think ricoh to be more specific. The drive doesn't like cheap media I've noticed, and also prefers +r with the newest firmwares.

nufan292 is right

The liteon drive does not come with a -r it comes with a +r

I have tested with Sony and Memorex +R and +RW no problem, and with the new firmware FS0J will support DVD-ROM Booktype with DVD+RW

Hi,
My drive came with a dvd+rw and a dvd-r.
It might be different because I live in New Zealand.
I heard that not all dvd players support dvd+r.
Thats why I initially wanted dvd-r.
Im thinking of buyinf imation dvd-r.
Will these work with my model?
thanks

With booktype setting set to dvd-rom on your liteon 411s then any dvd+r will work on most dvd players as long as they are good quality discs.

Sorry for the misunderstanding then. About name brand media, sometimes you get a good manufacture sometimes you don't. I was sad to find that Memorex went from ricoh to cmc for their +r, those cheap bastards.
