MSI dvd burner,is it a lite-on?

I have just brought a MSI dvd burner and it looks just like a Lite-on burner even comes with the same bundled software,so i was just wondering if it was a lite-on under a different name,the reason i am asking is that first of all it was £30 cheaper and since i have had it the burner has burnt for me many discs without coasters using + and - media {cheap and expensive type} using all types of burning progs{nero,dvd clone,dvd mate, xcopy,dvd shrink,and many more,also these dvds are great with standalone dvd players,i have tested them on 6 different players and all played perfectly.Am i just lucky or is it just a great burner.

Perhaps this thread will help. Read OC's post, seems that burner may be a Sanyo CRD-BPDV2.

Its does not appear to be a sanyo,on nero info tool the specks are better also it shows it to be ATAPI DVD-RW 8X MAX,anybody got any ideas?

can u post what the pc see it as what burn speeds it suports for both dvd - and + it could be anything at this point with out more info if u are saying x8 dvd-r it could be a liteon 812s rebadged but i havent heard of anyone with these drives yet and with out knowing more i think people can only guess
if its one of these drives then it doesnt write dvd-rw x8

This is your drive: Optorite DD0401

Yes, all MSI drives ending on -A in the model number is made by Accesstek/optorite. All drives ending on -M in the model number is made by them (MSI).

And optorite is based on a Sanyo chipset and some sanyo design, the earlier optorite DVD-Writers was based 100% on the sanyo drives, but the newer ones like this one is partially designed by optorite at least.
