What is the best software to burn MDisc DVD? I have an Lite-On ATAPI iHAS 122 F F EL06 DVD drive

Is it possible to test if a sata dvd drive is good without having to insert a disc?

I see that some Lite-On iHAS 122 models support M-Disc DVD but I have the Lite-On ATAPI iHAS 122 F EL06 model and I don't know if it supports M-Disc DVD burning. What is the best software to check and which software is good for updating the firmware of this drive?

I haven't burned a disc in ages, but Nero: Burning ROM was my go-to solution back then.

You can tell which discs a drive supports by looking it up on the manufacturer web page.

And you don't need to update your firmware, unless there is a fatal flaw with the drive that the manufacturer issued an update for.

I don't think MDisc needs special software, so whichever.
One option: https://cdburnerxp.se/

Not sure what's to test without a disc. If the PC recognizes the drive, and the tray can be opened, great. Next: use a disc.

Official firmware updates are self-executing packages. There's no 3rd party software needed to apply them.

I use CDBurnerXP.
It's very easy to use, comprehensive and has loads of all the right features.

It doesn't. MDisc burning is handled completely automatically by the drive firmware. Nice to see someone else uses CDBurnerXP.

InfraRecorder showed promise, but development stopped early, and I think there's no BD support.

(Not that CDBurnerXP is feature-complete, but it's more mature.)

It seems to be plain old dvd dual layer and cd-r. No M-disc or blu-ray.

Are you looking to buy it, or have it and need it to work?
