Most of MTU's software will work with the Plextor brand.

If you have another cdr-rw or dvd-rw that says it reads cdg you will need to choose another software to make it work. It could be excellent but it could also be terrible (lots of broken letters).

It's a question of Aspi driver or Mode that limits Microstudio & possibly Hoster to detect only a limited choice of brand.
They may have taken a good decision because Plextor is in fact the certified brand to have for cdg but on the other are limiting them self to one brand only.

Just to say you can go wrong with Plextor and that's on what ever software you wish to use.
