Have you tried faster speeds?

The slower the speed the better is no longer viable thinking, unless one is still using a burner from that era, 8X, etc. Not saying that's your problem, but going to slower speeds could be compounding the problem.

I discussed this with a Plextor tech a couple of years back and he told me the newer burners were optimized to perform at the higher speeds. He went so far as to say the really low speeds would probably give poor results. I had to change my thinking in this area, having started out with a Plextor 8X, and high performance burners started showing up.

I run wide open and never have, nor ever had junk on the screen problems. I also use exclusively MTU media. Second to that my choice would be Mitsui, what I used prior to the advent of MTU media.

I've tried burning at the fast speed and got the same result. Thanks for the tip though, anything is worth trying. I cannot buy MTU media because they don't ship to the UK. Maybe MTU could find a company in the UK to sell through as I'm sure there are others like me who would benefit from it.

I have the Lite On LH-20A1S which is a OEM sata drive and it works like a charm with micro, no broken letters at all! Here's the retail model that comes in a box: http://us.liteonit.com/us/index.php?...=204&Itemid=67 I love this drive, best I ever had!!
