Today, I finally made up my mind (or what passes for one) and got a DVD Writer.
The SOHW-1213S, since it was only £4 dearer than the 812S
The one thing that does worry me, is that there seems to be a lot more firmware hacking for the 812S (speed adjust, strategy adjust, DL conversion) than there is for the 1213S - not sure if the Codeguys tweaker works on it?
I see there's a firmware update, so I guess I'll do that as soon as I install, before judging write quality.
I'd like to do an 8x on suitable 4x hack, as I can't get 8x (never mind 12x) at my local supplier, nor do I wish to pay the extra for 8x if you can cheat to a usable 8x result if you pick your 4x media well.
