Since Verbatim hasn't bothered to update their own
LTH compatibility chart * (note: dead link, see footnote) since it was first released, and I've not been shown any other even semi-official listing of compatible devices, I think it might be helpful if we can pool our knowledge here on LTH-compatible/incompatible devices.
Unfortunately, in looking through other generally reliable sites such as myce.com, I've noticed contradictions even regarding the same device with identical firmware revisions. These contradictions, combined with a lack of reliable or detailed information from device manufacturers means that at best this will still be a best-guess scenario. The more information I get from other forum posters here, though, the more accurate we can make this.
Where possible, I'll use information from the drive manufacturers to ensure reliability. BD-R LTW was included in BD-R version 1.2, so where LTH compatibility isn't explicitly stated, version 1.2 compliance will be assumed to mean LTH
read ability as a minimum--products marked as adhering merely to previous BD-R versions such as 1.0 will be marked as incompatible.
The below charts use the Verbatim chart linked above as a starting point, so anything marked as compatible/incompatible without accompanying user reports or data from the device manufacturer is based on testing data provided by Verbatim.
* Note: Verbatim has now seemingly pulled that compatibility chart completely from
their website, in favor of this terse statement:
"Verbatim’s BD-R LTH complies with Blu-rayŽ Standard version 1.2. Our BD-R LTH is supported by all current Blu-rayŽ burners and most older models with firmware update. Also, Verbatim BD-R LTH is supported by most Blu-rayŽ players including Sony’s PS3™."
As mentioned below by Mariner, there are two
charts on JVC's website giving write-compatibility for their 4x LTH media (some drives support 4x burning, others 2x only), and general LTH reading ability--none of that info has been integrated into the below charts as of now.
