Hi, I have the SD-R5372V for about 5 months. It has serious compatibility problems. I've tried various media, only (very expensive) Sony DVD's give reliable results. I contacted Toshiba, but they don't reconize the problem. My PC is the cause according to Toshiba. Even when I swapped their writer with a NEC ND-3520A, and it was able to succesfull burn on the very same DVD media (at the highest speed). The SD-R5372V is at bios lvl: TU11, and no update is available yet. I received a list from Toshiba with recommended DVD media. All the DVD media that I had trouble with, was on this list ! So I would say, get rid of Toshiba, and buy NEC ! Cheers, G.
