I'm using a Pioneer 109, with Ritek G05 media. burning at 4x with Nero. No coasters at all so far. PAL wii with Wiikey.

I have a Pioneer DVR-110D never had a failure yet

media + burner = result...

change either one and you change the result...

Exactly, good way of putting it.

I really need to go order another drive and RMA this Lite-On one!

My burner is a PIONEER DVD RW DVR-106D and I use it with mediarange 8x-speed - dvd's and it works perfect.

Just installed my WiiKey yesterday and have burned 5 backups without any problems....

DVD Drive: NEC ND-3450A 16X DVDR/RW (factory installed in my XPS Gen 4 a few years ago)
Media: Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD-R Silver Thermal
Software: Nero Express version 7.2.3.1 at 4x

I use a Samsung 24X Lightscribe SATA burner with 16X Lightscribe Verbatim media. Some games, it would work at 16X speed. On some other games though, I would either get an immediate DRE or while the game is loading. I've started to switch to 4X burn, and it seems to be more reliable.

I still wonder if maybe one wiikey wire is loose or whatnot cuz a GC homebrew game burned with TY 4X media gave me a DRE yesterday.
