I forgot to mention, and nobody else has either -- certain writers (& readers!) work best with media-brand-X & poorly or not at all with media-brand-Y; AFAIK, this applies to all brands, although it is not *quite* as bad as it was a few years ago, so that fact probably accounts for some of the variagated [sp?] results you've gotten here -- try several brands of media *real* *fast*, and then go with the one that works best for your writer & the largest known/knowable variety of readers.
B.T.W., LG may send their best units (unit-lots) to Sony &/or other "Brand Names", and sell the 'shaky' stuff under their own name -- this is a known operating plan used by *lots* of manufacturers for many years.

to LG as being "not so good", then how about this: a friend of mine
bought a sony cd burner, only to find it was just a rebadged lg burner,
It doesn't matter who made it. Sony have a reputation for quality, so they are unlikely to supply anything that would affect that reputation. I didn't say that LG were "not so good", although I do find they way they set their CDRW drives to self-destruct on receipt of a standard MMC3 command rather disturbing.
