Samsung TS-H943 LT v2.01 IN PROGRESS: XGD3 big disc fix

He also announced the 6 PC DVD-drive models that will work with the upcoming 'PC DVD Burner FW' [alias "iXtreme Burner Max FW"] that will allow burning 100% of an XGD3 ISO to regular DVD+R DL discs. The FW is finished and is currently 'In Testing':

[c4eva] Final burner fw set complete, final testing underway – increased burning speed of xgd3 to 4x on mkm003, must enable OPC in imgburn (thanks Defosho)

[c4eva] The following drives have been tested for ixtreme burner max firmware:
[c4eva] Liteon iHAS124B = baseline model
[c4eva] Liteon iHAS224B = 124 + LightScribe
[c4eva] Liteon iHAS324B = 124 + SmartErase
[c4eva] Liteon iHAS424B = 124 + LightScribe + SmartErase (or = 224 + SmartErase)
[c4eva] Liteon iHAS524B = 124 + LabelTag + SmartErase
[c4eva] Liteon iHAS624B = 124 + LabelTag + LightScribe + SmartErase (or = 524 + LightScribe)

[A*******] how can you know if its a or b? [last char of drive model]
[c4eva] A is NEC chipset=bad

[c4eva] verbatim mkm001 are supported at 2.4x, verbatim mkm003 are supported
[c4eva] burner max fw doesnt force you to use verbatim media for xgd3 but they are the only ones that verify error free so far

Great work! Hopefully the Samsung LT+ 2.01 will release this weekend so that I can update my customers. Hopefully Hitachi LT+ 2.0 comes out soon too.

Now all I have to do is buy one of those drives. If anyone needs a good deal, I found a great burner on sale on Newegg right now: Newegg.com - LITE-ON 24X DVD Writer - Bulk - 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model iHAS224-06 LightScribe Support - CD / DVD Burners

Edit: As I've been reading up, you need the B model of the drive you are going to buy. The problem is that a lot of drives don't tell you if it is B or not. So, you need to buy the drive and see for yourself and if it isn't, then you need to send it back. The good thing is that most drives are B as long as they are fairly new. Most companies have stopped making A and Y models.

how can i tell whats in my computer, see if i already have one?

[Twis7eD]

Check in Device Manager or open IMGBurn and see what it says for the drive type.

it says, hp DVD-RAM GH40L SCSI CdRom Device, it has to be a lite-on, right?
