I dont know about LiteON DVD burners, but my 1 month experience with a LiteON CD burner was not very impressive. I have been told that LiteON is basically the junk at the end of the assembly line by a friend and I do not doubt it.

Also, for reviews I like Tom's Hardware "[Link: tomshardware.com]".
I have had no problems with the Philips DVDRW416 that is in the review.
