Liteon 411s specs.
I've just bought a 411s and on the box it states that it writes dvd+r at 8x. Neither Nero or Roxio recognise this and only recognise a 4x speed writer. Nero infotool and Cdvdinfo only report a 4x drive even with an 8x dvd+r blank disk in the drive. At Liteon.com the spec for the 411s states that it is only a 4x speed writer in either format. Does the firmware need flashing? Should a drive manufactured in January of this year need any modification to make it do what it says on the box?
Any clarification will be more than welcome cheers lolbroo

Are you shure that this isn't a sticker on the box?It could be put there by the retail store.... I have a 411S myself and had to flash the eeprom to make it an 811S,so I could write dvd+r @ 8X...

At the end of the day take it back and demand your money back or get a 8x DVD burner.Liteon with the digit starting wit 4** are 4x..Only 8x with doing a mod as the other have told you.

Does the box say it's a 411S, and 8x ?
If the box says 8x, but doesn't specify the model, I'm guessing you may have got a possibly USED 411S that was repacked into an 811S box - some places are pretty slack, and it's not unheard of to find repacked drives sold as new - give 'em the benefit of the doubt and say it's accidental. Was it mail order, or instore?

411S is definitely a 4X burner, which can be flashed for 8X burning. Such sort of flashing voids the drive warranty, so its highly unlikely that you could find it flashed at any store with 3 grams of self-respect.

The box just says 8x not the model number. It's a proper printed LITEON box. No stickers. I didn't know the model until I removed it from my machine to look for identification prion to trying to solve this problem.
411 drive in a 811 box looks a likely answer. Now to try to get the vendor on e-bay to accept responsibility as I've still received no reply to the 4 e-mails I've sent LITEON thanks for all your help Lolbroo
