LOL, that’s weird Saumik… I have the LH-20A1P and it’s as good as my BenQ DW1650. I had trouble with LG’s GSA series however, not reading some of my older discs.
^dude i wrote a dvd with like 5 divx movies…put it back in to chek it out and guess what it DINT READ IT…but it worked on my TV/dvd player…sumtimes it works fine sumtimes its jus wierd…its been better after i updated the firmware…its loud at times when it starts burning then goes silent as if its not writing at all…blah i dono…it gave more probs with moser baer and sony dvds than cheap ass “national” n “dollar” dvds LOL…neways iv got a cheap HP spindle now lets see hw these burn
I’d recommend an LG, local purchase. But if you want better reading capabilities, go for the L-O.. all the drives will give you identical (good) burns on TY anyway.

finally ordered a Pioneer DVR-112DBK from zip zoom fly for Rs. 2200 + Rs. 100 local shipping via KMD with KMD warranty which i trust more than the local warranty
