what 4X DVD-R media burns good on lite on 812@832

[DVDDave]

has anybody had any success burning 4X DVD-R media at 8X on either a lite on 812, or an 812@832?? i have tried Maxell which is MXL and verbatim which is MCC but no luck. i do get good burns at 4X but would like 8X if possible. i am using the fiemware from code63556 presently.

Why not try true 8x rated media? Ritek or TY should be compatible with your writer and should be in the same price range as the 4x media you've tried.

Just a thought. Best of Luck,

well, that is a great idea except that i still have over 100 pieces of good 4X that i would like to try at 8X. i guess it is time to break down and buy some 8X dvd-r!!!

Sorry, I assumed you were buying new media and not using up old stock. My bad.
Hopefully someone with a Lite-On will contribute. Personally, I'm a fan of sticking with the speed rating on the disc (4x for 4x, 8x for 8x).

Good Luck,

not too many will help you with that here. You may try cdfreaks.com or speedlabs.org.

I've had no problems burning MCC 002 at 8x on the 812S/812@832S, using patched firmware. It, along with RICOHJPNR01 burn at 8x beautifully. MXL 4x +R is always Ricoh (in the US anyway), as is Fujifilm. Sony and TDK 4x +R is usually Ricoh too, and Memorex is sometimes (not consistently though).

As for 4x -R at 8x, I wouldn't recommend it on the Lite-On. Heck, I wouldn't even recommend 8x at 8x on it; it isn't the best -R burner. Lite-On burners favor +R in my experience.
