    yes neither did my 810a write at anything greater than 8x.... if in the rare case it did go beyond, the disc wud have a ring on the written side

    can u sell me the 810a?? how much have u used it?

    the problem's not with the drive, its with the sucking pata data transfer rate.

    so?

    the max speed i get these days when writing even Single layer discs is under 8x. mostly under 4x. Initially it used to perform like butter ... I even upgraded the firmware. but no change. tried various nurning softwares. no luck. BTW, i am using it as an external drive nowadays as my good old laptop doesnt have dvd writer ...

    the same as me, till its tray mechanism f***d up, then i got the 7220a and then i fixed the tray again ...

    are u having an issue that any video dvd u would write on it wud skip in the last minutes on a standalone dvd player??

    this was the only other irritating issue i had with the drive.

    No, i dont think i am having this issue. I dont write video DVDs much for standalone DVD players. I dont even have a standalone DVD player. All my collection are DVD Rips. They seem to run fine on PCs. Even on standalone players supporting AVI, MP4

    this issue exists only for video dvd format. even i cud plaay avi files fine, and they run fine on the comp.

    but the issue vanished with my new writer, so it must be some age issue.

    i have a few proper video DVDs burnt with this drive but havent tried them on any standalone player. will try to check sometime later on some friend's DVD player.
