Thanks for the suggestion! To be honest, in a strange way, I actually like that the LG is different from the other drives. Both Sony's read through errors pretty well but you can see the problems during playback. The LG's sensitivity has actually helped me find the disks that have problems. Also, the LG occassionally is able to get through a disk that thwarts the Sony's. For example, I was ripping a movie yesterday and both the Sony's failed with read errors but the LG was able to plod through. The problem was a bad "making of" video and since the LG was able to read through the errors, I was able to extract the (perfectly okay) movie pretty easily. The LG resides in a PC with one of the Sony's too so is not critical.

With the CMCMAG-DI6-000, I've had three write error coasters out of the first 25 disks. All coasters were on the Sony BWU-300S v1.0c which is limited to 4x burns with those disks.

please dont get me started on the CMCMAG-DI6-0000 codes, i purchased a cake tub of 10 discs branded Pidata at the price of £30.

My lite-on eHBU212 writer is suppose to support the CMCMAG-D16-0000 according to lite-on support but my writer wont even write the lead-in track to these discs. The discs just spin in the writer like they are about to work but then spinning slows down and it just keeps doing this in a constant cycle

I thought it was the firmware at first not supporting these discs but according to lite-on support my writer does support this MID code and my writer must be defective

my writer will write perfectly to pidata bd-25GB discs that use the ritek dye so surely my writer can't be defective ?

I suspect it is a firmware issue but i might be wrong
