CD Freaks presents Lite-On LDW-811S DVD±RW review
Tor Magne, better known as OC-Freak, has wrapped up a new review for us yesterday. This time he has taken a look at Lite-On's fastest dual format DVD recorder, the LDW-811S. Like most new DVD recorder the LDW-811S supports 8x recording speeds for DVD+R media. DVD-R and DVD+RW media can be recorded at 4x while DVD-RW media can be recorded at 2x. Here's part of the conclusion:

Lite-On has again been able to put together a good performer. The drive performed pretty good at 8x DVD+R writing speed and most discs written at 8x had an acceptable amount of errors. But the drive have other strengths as well; it supports writing CD-R discs at 40x and most discs are written with perfect quality as well, but we were quite shocked to get bad results with Taiyo Yuden CD-R media. This were quite surprising as the LDW-411S did perfect with the same discs, hopefully Lite-On will be able to sort out what they did wrong with the LDW-811S firmware and fix this. Another advantage it has is the ability to change the book type for DVD+R/RW media to DVD-ROM, this is useful if your players do not read DVD+R/RW media. As far as we know it's the first dual format drive to officially support bitsetting/booktype setting.

The Lite-On LDW-811S gets our Best Value Award. If you are interested in reading more you can check out the complete review here. As always, you can post your comments, questions and suggestion on the last page of the review or via this thread in our Lite-On Forum.
