Hopefully I am posting in the correct place, if not I apologize. Just purchased and installed Lite-On SHM-165H6S. Using AnyDvd, CloneDVD2 and Nero 7(all most recent versions)The problem is I have had fourcoasters using (2) Verbatim DVD+R DL (DataLife Plus)and (2) Verbatim DVD-R (4.7GB)also DataLife Plus. I have never had one coaster using this media. Always great results Is this because this drive does not like these type of Verbatim disc??? Out of five attempts I only received one good burn and that was on Verbatim DVD+R LightScribe media Any suggestions?
Thanks Ripper but this is the firmware that nero says it has.

Just curious, is DR16HS0E the same firmware as just HSOE? Sorry if this is a silly ? but I do not know what to do.
I have discovered (or potentially discovered) the problem may be on hub printable Verbatim disc. I seem to be able to burn now on DL and DVD+/- 4.7 but not on hub printable??? Has anyone had successful burns with this type media with this Liteon burner? Thanks
