Anybody Know just how good the liteon ltd163

is at reading sub channel data.

I'm using a toshiba at the moment and it's excellent.

but its very poor at ripping vcd's,whereas I know the

liteon is excellent at ripping vcd's

I'm basically looking for the best ripper of subs & vcd's :)

Works for me, would certainly recommend it. Check it out here: http://www.cdspeed2000.com/go.php3?link=details.php3&Type=DAE&Brand=LiteOn&Model=LTD163

I think cdrinfo may have done a review of 16x DVDRom drives, if they did then they probably benchmarked them at reading securom.

i love my liteon ltd163 , very fast, check the reveiws , i would recommend 100%

Thanx for the reply's, just bought the liteon
and it's just what I thought

ripping vcd & audio excellent
reading sub channel data sh*t - as per the reviews

not a patch on my toshiba cd-rom
