Old CD-only drives' lasers was not adaptive power.
They read R/W disk awully, DVD drives do the job well.
But I found that my new LG DVD can't burn some old many times burned
no-name CDRWs, those that old LG CDRW drive burns OK.
And it seems that with new brand CDRW disks my LG DVD burner is better
than my old LG CDRW. (I have both burners installed on my PC)
