Well there are many mixed reviews. This drive was in a specifically built system for multimedia production. Video editing the primary purpose.
NOW TDK media are brilliant and I have never had any problems using them until this drive. I have not had one successful write with the DVD+R or DVD-R 1-16x.
Using different burning programs I get cyclic recovery errors and mainly unreadable disks on DVD players. They may run on PC's but if I am producing movies for clients what's the use.
What a waste of money!!!

I find the only way to get DVDs to burn is to burn at 4x (2x causes errors) and even then I rarely get a disk that is error free. Also, on some commercial DVDs there is a problem called a "redundency" error which if you let the disk continue to try and read, for some reason, causes all normally well behaved DVD movies to gargle the sound. The only fix I've found to fix the gargle is to format C: and reinstall windows. I'm wondering if this is just a problem for Samsung, as we have a Samsung TV top DVD player that also won't play the same commercial DVDs that the burner won't. On the other hand, we have an AWA portable DVD player and a cheaper generic brand TV top DVD player and they play the same DVD's fine! When I do manage to get a burned DVD movie working, my DVD players won't recognise them unless I power them down and restart them with the disk in the player first. My brother burns DVD disks on his LG burner and they play on my DVD players fine!
