For me there are problems with this product. It looks great but let me down badly.
The big selling point is the built-in, patented burnware: EZ-DUB with the simple push button controls on the Writer. In order for this button function to work EZ-DUB `finder' software has to be installed on the host PC. This enables the PC to link with the push button facility in the writer. The installation disk includes Nero 7 essentials - a cut down verion of Nero 7 with 30 day limits on some facilitites and other Nero facilities missing. I decided not to insatll that as I have a full, later verion of Nero. I cliked on 'Install Ez-Dub' but Oh Dear: a message appears 'please intall Nero 7 essentials first' I did not want to do this as I have a later, full version of Nero. Relucantly I clicked on 'Install Nero 7 essentials' and of course as usual with Nero, I was told that other versions would be de-insatlled. This is a ridiculous condition of installation of Ez-Dub because de-installing a later, full verion of Nero means losing all the facilitiies of that version and replacing it with an ealrier, time limited version. The writer I purchased was manufactured in July 09, well after Nero 8 and 9 became available.
The EZ-Dub software on the provided disc will not install on my Vista machine (and the three other Vista machines I tried it on). The installation process hangs and takes up all the CPU capacity. Until the installation process is ended in Task Manager the PC is almost useless. The software disc says `Vista Ready', - but the bugs have not been ironed out. Liteon email help finally advised re-installing my Operating Program! A drastic and unreasonable request as no other program I have installed as 'Vista ready' has failed to install. The writer will work (using Nero) without the Ez-DUB software but only as a conventional writer/burner, but then then what is the point of buying the drive? It installs OK under XP but the next problem is present with XP:
EZ-DUB mishandles DVD 9 DL (Double layer) disc information. When prepared files are dragged and dropped for burning, the EZ-DUB software decides that the files are too large to fit on a DVD (9) DL disc when they are most definitely not! The indicator bar shows that the files are under the max capacity but the software says `too large to burn , remove some files'. File properties in Explorer show that the fiels are not too large and Nero will burn the same files with disk space left. There is no way round this problem and so, at least in my case, EZ-DUB will only burn single so I can hardly recommend this product. A good idea but I think it has been launched with unsorted bugs. There is no phone help from Liteon, only email support which is wooden and not my idea of decent support.

A chunky little box , with a handy on/off switch on the back .
Works fine , but don't waste your time installing the software .
It is the usual rubbish , and simply doesn't work .
Use Nero or whatever ...

After my intergrated burner drive packed up a couple of months ago i was looking for other ways of being able to back up my data without having to pay more money on this three year old machine. First i bought an external hard drive but still wanted to have a physical copy of things like pictures just in case. So i had a birthday coming along, and this was put on the list.
First of all it is very well designed and relatively small sized. Installation took a fair while, mainly because i had an old version of Nero installed. After i had installed the software and drive, my pc found the disk drive without any problems. I go into Nero and select which type of cd i want to make (audio, data, video, slideshow etc etc) and just select the files i want to put on. It is very quick at burning and equally quick at deleting the files off a RW cd. Personally i feel the software included is idiot proof, although it is slightly different to how i did create cds in the past. I used to use Windows Media player, but it doesn't seem to be able to find the external burner. Perhaps that's normal i don't know.
Anyway, a very good product, and i would recommend this to anyone, specially the novices who just want to create a backup or audio cd without any headaches!

Excellent
Took 5 minutes to install.

What more could you ask for?
