(Disc ID: MCC 03RG20) (Speeds: 2.4x, 4x, 8x)

 

 

must be a Dell computer, it's not a laptop drive so why doesn't the firmware show 16X

might be worthwhile to crossflash

 

I wonder if the files/iso are even dvd compliant tho, might be worthwhile to doublecheck rather than trust Sonic.

reading the comments seems to indicate that the player doesn't like burned dvd's

 

 

I was having a similar problem. I contacted on-line support form sony. My issue was the format of the actual file...nothing to do with PAL or NTSC. My file was in .VOB format and Sony states that my player only reads .VTS formats. So, If the file you have created is in a file format that your dvd player can't read...you will have to convert the files to one that the players will read. I am a newbie and I may be way off...just thought I'd drop my $0.02 in because our difficulties are similar. Take it for what it is worth.

"Flashing" your optical drive is comparable to updating your operating system on your computer. Just as there are tweaks that need to be installed to overcome problems within an OS there are necessary fixes that the drive manufacturers issue that correct problems that they have encountered. Cross flashing to another manufacturers drive is not all that uncommon since drives are often re-badged by a brand name corporation but made by only one of very few drive manufacturers. :thumbup:

regarding the hitachi, its as Chewy said above, several poor reports about playing anything other than commercial bought discs.

have you tried to play your disc on any other player ?, say a mates or family members player.

Im trying to eliminate the hitachi player as the problem
