    Here use this site, its one of the only english sites where they don't lie about there media ID,

    http://svp.co.uk/products-list.php?bid=0&cid=117,

    99% of the time its next day delivery, oh and please don't buy DVD's off ebay as I'v been down that road, 2 months later your wondering why none of your PS2/XBOX backups dont work, (havn't got round to modding my GC yet as I'm still waiting 4 it to be delivered)
    I always use either Verbatim (MCC) or official TY's (TYG02) for 4.38gb DVD's and all my backups work flawlessly.

    PS Im no expert at mini's however the 10 pack of Verbatim @ £5 seem your best bet also they are MCC media ID which burn beautifully in Liteon Drives, not too sure what DVD formats English Gamecubes will swallow though (-r/+r) could be a bit of hit and miss. :)

    [bold](never confuse MCC with CMC)[/bold]

    I have a Liteon 1973S and dont work in any way, at 1x gives a Power error or something like that, at 2x burn the entire iso but fails to close the session, 4x do it all and show it ok, but i got DREs on NGC.

    The firmware its original, could be that? Maybe updating the firmware could fix it? I will try anyways.

    On the worst case, i will buy another burner, i read that the champ is the Pioneer 109, but i just find 110s and 111s, are the same? I will thank any other suggestions on burners.

    You're using the stock firmware?

    Update it immediately. That's definitely your problem.

    Crossflash? Are you supposed to do that?

    I meant that you should get the latest firmware for your particular model of burner, not flash an newer burner's firmware to it. That could make things worse.
