Yeah it means you have too much time on your hands db and that if you displayed the date properly like us in England it wouldn't be a problem !!! ha ha
A mate of mine travelled the far east a few years ago and used them to send back updates on his progress - I honestly didn't believe the descriptions of their locations until he returned and I saw the photos !!

Looking at the media tests in the link above I would say that the dye isn't the best - its certainly not consistently good burns like Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim dye....
I don't think there is a problem spinner - its just that I prefer my printed discs...... The talk above is that some NEC's have been hacked to allow owners to use LScribe....
Btw the drive is the best one I have ever owned, I am not a heavy user of drives but this one is the dogs danglies (which is good !! ) !!
I haven't used the freebie lighscribe that came with my BenQ either Grain !! I much prefer the look of my printed discs and so does our youngest, this way he can tell which disc is which, with a sharpie he struggles a bit !!
Given the patchy performance at burning DVD+R DL's with this Sony drive I wonder if its fooked ? For whatever reason it doesn't seem to like burning the best available DL media out there......
I don't suppose you have another drive capable of burning DL's ?
