        so what will crossflashing do for the liteon rebranded memorex?

        From the sounds of it it seems you don't care too much for lite on.

          jm is their resident champion, I am slightly biased against them, a lot of geeks
          use them to scan but won't burn with them. It's old drives that we all don't care for, old is anything over a year or so. Now crossbranded oem memorex
          can be much worse( poor firmware support?) YMMV

          You will have to tell us what the crossflash did

            so you replace your drives every year then? how will the mergers of benq & lite on and nec & sony affect this?

              I try to wear them out in a year or two(get my money's worth)
              you have to understand that new drives are better than old ones, your new
              liteon is improved over the memorex, even tho it(new one) might not have mature firmware yet!
              I expect benq/liteon and sony/nec to continue to improve slightly. The real problem will be getting good burns on crappy mass produced media.

                Nero StartSmart Copy A Backup Dvd.

                I must be getting into these tests but understand that I have no set format. I just do what I feel. No rocket scientist here.

                    The skc's are the same brand as the an31's. All part of the same batch I bought before I found this Forum. This disc was burnt back then & yes I like the Sony's better as well.

                      Here are some scans of the same disc at different speeds, you said with these newer lite ons, that people like to scan faster. Just for informational purposes.

                        scan at 8x, working fine, saves time

                            I had thought to go to codeguys 812S then 832?
                            so crossflash this memorex with the 812s firmware, then on to the 832 firmware?

                            http://codeguys.rpc1.org/oc.html so if i read this right to go to @832 I need too use method 3?

                              what about trying to use the firmware for sowh-812s seeing that is what this drive really is and avoiding the poorly supported memorex firmware?

                                looking i realize that cd-dvd speed has issues using the 812s@832s from your link above as to where i start. maybe it would be better to just use the 812s firmware, my drives did not make it today so looks like monday for sure.
