DVD+R/-R Double Layer writing performance and quality:
The Lite-On LH-20A1H supports the DVD+R DL/-R DL standard for writing Double Layer/Dual Layer discs with a size around 8.5 GB at a writing speed of 8x.
For these tests we pre-authored several video clips into an image file and burned the resulting image in Nero Burning Rom. We then used the Lite-On LH-20A1H along with KProbe to test the discs’ quality; we then finally ran a read-back test on our Lite-On LH-20A1H using Nero CD-Speed.

Plays the first layer but fails at the layer-break. |

No problems. |
Both our DVD Standalone devices played the DVD+R DL media burned by the Lite-On LH-20A1H without any problems.
Only one DVD Standalone device would play the Lite-On LH-20A1H burned DVD-R DL media without any problems.
We would like to mention that the compatibility issue with standalone DVD Players/Recorders and the DVD-R DL media format is caused by incompatibilities with the standalone devices used in this review, and not the Lite-On LH-20A1H or media format used.
Summary:
The Lite-On LH-20A1H burned our test DVD+R/-R DL media with very good quality.
Let’s head onto the next page where we will take a look at the drive’s LightScribe feature…
DVD-R/RW Writing Performance:
On another machine with LiteOn LH-20A1H, i don't have this software from LiteOn. And i can't Lightscribe to the drive with SureThing at all. Any suggestions ?.
By the way I think OverSpeed function is useless. Error occurred while writing CMC MAG M01 dvd at 18x for the first time. Second time - no error, but it took 12 minutes to burn full dvd at 18x (3 mins for Lead-In) :/. Another drive SOHW 1653S couldn't even see that disk and it takes about 1 minute for LH-20A1H to recognize it.
I was hopping for better performance
1. both PCI sound card and HD Tuner card no longer "seen" by windows
2. After upgrading the lightscibe software for Nero I designed a label that both had a background graphic and additonal inserted images. Did a lightscribe print preview in Nero 7; looked find - did a lightscribe print - background graphic did not print at all - only the inserted images.
Total flop.
I am using the HP IDE-CD-ROM- 840B LightScribe drive with my HP Media Center PC (m7367C), I was LightScribing some labels using CD's that were made by Verbatim (DVD +R 16X ). Things were working fine, but I decieded that I wanted the color CD's. I ran out and bought the Memorex Cool Colors LightScribe CD-R. At that point I was no longer able to LightScribe anything. After hours of updating drivers and deleting other LightScribe applications, thinking maybe the LightScribe drive was competting for resourses, i went back to the Verbatim CD and it started working again. I guess we can NOT assume that if the CD's have the LightScribe logo on the packaging that they will work. I hope this help alot of you that appear to be having the same problem.This message was edited at: 20-10-2007 04:38
