    I'd like to start off by saying that by no means am I good with computers... Anyways, I just bought this dvd burner and installed it into my computer (I have an old Asus A8V mobo). Anyways so far the drive seems to be able to burn media fine. But when it comes to reading dvd's, audio cd's, it just skips. It can read them it is just skipping so badly to the point where the dvd's are unwatchable and cd's skip rather bad. I have deleted my upper and lower filters already does anybody know what I can do? I'm pretty sure I have the latest firmware as well.

    I found this on a website:

    This is what mine displays (Out of date nero but oh well):

    Notice that mine is only saying x16 read speed?

    Your problem is not the same as the OP's. His burner burns just fine.

    @vincentj

    are the ones you are trying to read commercial (pressed) DVD's and CD's or burned copies?

    @wiimii

    you're a jr. member and should know better than to hi-jack someone else's thread.

    I've tried all types. Regular DVD's skip and studder. Burned audio disk skip and sound crappy. And DATA disk when I try to extract something it just says "cyclic redundancy check" or something like that.

    What brand/type of media are you using? It could be junk media. Try some Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden.

    This is typically an indication of two probable causes of failure.

    1. (as previously stated by the ever-wise GrandpaBW) Cheap and inferior media.

    The cure: Taiyo Yuden, Verbatim, and Sony (MIJ...if you can find them)

    2. Dirty/scratched disc.

    Do a forum search for Cyclic Redundancy Check. You'll find oodles of similar complaints with similar fixes.
