Really bad CDR burning quality with my DVD burner

I have replaced my old liteon 52x cd burner and replaced it with a liteon DVD burner
SOHW-1653S

- I'm still using the same media. Verbatim Datalife+ (crystal+azo) 48x 80m media
- I test with the CD/DVD speed program from nero toolkit (read speed=Max)
- on my old drive i burned at 40x to get low c1 errorss and absolutly Zero c2 errors. (quality 98%)

with the new drive i tried different speed (24,32,40,48) and they all gave alot of c1
and a bunc of c2 errors at the end.
c2 starts around 70min mark with a few, but at 75min mark the have a great peak.
quality drops to 0% and a message is displayed "additional sense information" something (will try to post screenshoot later)

The data is readable (md5 and crc32 checked)

Is this a drive/media incompatability ? or could it be that the drive is bad ?
i really dont like to burn out importnet stuff at this quality level.

Perhaps LiteOn's quality declined? That'd be my first guess.

Did you try updating the firmware?

I can confirm that my SOHR-5238S burns are of much worse quality than the ones with LTR-52246S so the quality of the burners most likely decreased (should be fixable via firmware version, though).

Also i suspecs that the drive does not write raw+96  DAO.
i cannot select "DAO/96" in nero with this drivel

but with an old liteon 32x the ooptions is there to burn "DAO/96"

Can anobody  recommmend a DVD burner that does te following
* read raw+96
* write raw+96 DAO
* +/- medie
* writing 99mins CD support would also be nice
* black front

To see if Nero writes in raw-dao-96 as default when you choose dao, then go into 
'Choose recorder', and check if there is listed DAO/96 under the 'Disc-at-once' entry.

According to cdfreaks reviews and forum, LiteOn quality writting CDs has degraded considerably in both the 1653 and 1673, with the 1693 not improving much either.

Here is the conclusion on their review for the 1653: “Some things here and some things there that needs to be fixed, couple it all together and you will see that there are better drives available.”

In other words: Get something else!

I almost bought this same drive but stopped to research about it on the net, phew!

Plextor PX-712A. I wouldn't recommend the more recent PX-716 because I've seen many reports about its inferior CD/CDR handling on CDFreaks.

Bent, please try and put a little more effort into your typing - your posts are horrible to read.
