Thanks Chewy.
Even though you don't bring good news you've been tremendously helpful.
I can confirm seller and price (I paid euro equivalent).
All who read be warned.

maybe that old btc will burn them better?

[Chokito]

Will try and let you know.
Thanks for the link for firmware.

P.S. I particularly appreciated the picture of the serial number

Here are the results of yesterday's burn. As Chewy suggested I burned with the BTC.
Instead of using RI4M I tried DVD Shrink on it's own and instead of burnunig with Nero I used IMGBurn. I did a scan with both burners to see if there was a difference and these are the results. (I hope I attached correctly)

P.S. I still don't understand how I can get different scans on the same disk and why does my pc read these disks a lot better than my standalone.

[Chewy]

you scanned at maximum speed with the btc, graphing read errors on top of
disk errors, not a reliable scanner anyway, that liteon is a very good scanner

that a good burn, not great

[Chokito]

I forgot to set speed for the BTC scan, so i reckon it took default speed.
Might not be a good scanner, but it sure did a hell of lot better burn. Or do you think it might be the software? Not saying Nero is bad, just maybe IMGBurn is more compatible with the media?
Definitely better burn than the previous, even if nowhere close to excellent.
If anybody is interested I'll keep testing and posting burn results for whoever has ended up with fake TYs.

[Chewy]

the burn software does not impact the quality of the burn, nero might not be able to burn for many reasons

my benq wouldn't even hardly start to burn my fakes, it spit them back at me, my nec's would give it a go and a bad burn with high errors, my lg might give me about 50% of the burns as good as yours

[Chokito]

So, if I understand correctly, your advice is to stick with the BTC.
It's a shame 'cause my LITEON has been giving me great burns since I upgraded the firmare in july. Practically no coasters (of course the media was better quality).

[Chewy]

if you get some authentic premium media you will find the liteon is much better than the btc, verbatim 16x dvd+r's for instance, bitsett to dvd-rom and burned at up to 12x.

BTC gave up on the optical drive business
