You are interpreting reading error figures from one drive (one maker, one unit, one specimen) to be general error levels on the disc.

This is not only misleading, but factually false.

Scan them in another drive and you will get different results.

Now how good was that burn again?

Statistical analysis using a large enough sample of reading drives is the only way to get reliable results this way.

Otherwise you need to use a low level scanner to read direct disc level measures (or indirect measures using a calibrated scanner).

The reviewer should have updated the drive firmware to DL12 before testing the drive and making any conclusions about it.

I would be interested to see any improvements the newer firmware makes.

I try to record something with new NEC 3540A and Plextor 740A (16x) DVD-RWs drives but without any good results. When I try this with LG 4167B I'm very,very suprised!!! To much!
Because this "machine" work job! Exactly what I want. I try another specifically things: recording audio with *99 min. CD* (PEGO Magnetic-*WHITE PRINTABLE CD 1-48x*-manufactured in *Slovenia*), and this "machine" really work. Fantastic and brilliant! Plextor and NEC *NOT WORK* anyway and with any function for this and similar recording functions!!! I try second test with RITEK DVD-R 4x and 2x speed media. I record video on this (not really compatible printable DVD media with any NEC,Plextor,Sony etc.drives) LG 4167B drive and I not expected some generally good results, but...LG record exactly what I expect in every aspect on this test! This is really TRUE! (not only stupid words).
I highly recomended this very cheap "machine" to people WHO HAVEN'T TIME and MONEY to experiment with Plextor,NEC and similar products in anz category. Try to recording with low speed any job and you will see imidiatelly results and compare with others! FANTASTIC PRODUCT in any category! Now I have really machine for JOB!

Thanks a lot to LG !

Cant write on DVD+R: When I try to record on Verbatim DVD+R media I got following info:
---------------------------
Nero Burning ROM
---------------------------
Sorry, the current recorder supports only the following disc type(s): CD-R/RW, Fixed Packetwriting,
but the compilation can only be written on a DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM, DVD-R DL, DVD+R DL. Please select
a different recorder.
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------
What's this means? Can anyone help me out?
Thanks.

I've got my new LG GSA-4167B and glad to say that it works fine to read DVD movies that all i have. I tried also burning datas through CD-R and it works fine. The only concern now that i have is that, i tried to copy a DVD movie last night and when i inserted the blank DVD-R (TDK brand), shows that Invalid Block Address!!! any help will be much appreciated. Do i need to change the brand of the DVD blank disc or any solutions for this...

many thanks.
