You may not like yours much, but the reviewers at CDFreaks love the OP's. “LG GH22LP20 is a solid performer and an excellent choice for reliable CD and DVD burning at record speeds. It effortlessly produces quality burns faster than most other drives to date. We highly recommend it.” And they tested it with Ritek F1's, burned at 16X, their rated speed. The LG GH22LP20 produces a very good quality burn with this FujiFilm media. I guess you can stop LOLing now. @BookerT Where do you live? Grab MediaInfo and run it on one of your finished VOB's. http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en Switch to 'text' and copy/paste the video info here like this.

My LG is the NP20. Previous statements were mearly my opinions. If I offended anyone, I apologize. I did say that riteks depend on the burner being used. I still believe however that they're NOT the best discs to be using. To each his/her own however My LG is the first LG burner ive gotten my hands on. Simply dissapointed with mine.
I have an LG external USB GSA-2166D that's about 3 years old. I never burned much with it then, had 2 BenQ 1650internal or now with litey and optiNEC. BUT If I have a disc that can't be read, it's the last resort and it will read 99% of them. Also it will coordinate with my two internals in Nero Burning Rom and burn 3 at a time @8X all finishing together. Can't say anything bad about it either.
@omega, no offense taken, I've seen some burners that people swear by act strange in other setups, so perhaps burners are prone to misbehaving under certain circumstances and other intangible variables from one system to another. Personnally I like difffering opinions. Keeps things lively. @Mystice, you read the same review I did before I purchased that burner.
