too long ago to remember nice to see you back. You were a student in the old dvdd days that puts you in about the 47 grade

the prodical son returns ,hello Daniel always wondered where you got off too

it wasn't my only present

thats the Lightscribe model yeah ? anyone have a disc that they've done a cover on and could maybe post a pic of .I'm in the market for another drive that can do the scans. I know the Plex can, how about the Pio 111d the auto booktyping is a nice feature

yeah strange they're Japanese made and a hell of a lot closer to OZ than here

it supports everything but RAM "CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, DVD+R, CD" you'll have to find a media thats compatible with that player .Some can be picky about what they will and wont play

you might check into your firmware ,this is from the official NEC site ND-2500A Firmwareupdate 1.0A (360.29 Kb) New Firmwareupdate 1.0A for ND-2500A with Windows installer. Pls note bypacked readme file`s instructions. You can update from FW-Version 1.06, 1.07 and 1.09. threw my 2500 in the box and 1.0A is the newest firmware .Right click on the drive in IMGburn last line check for firmware and follow the prompts I even burned to some CMCMAG that a friend gave me (her intentions were good) I 22:02:57 ImgBurn Version 2.0.0.12 Beta started!

could be a couple of things the media that you use for one, the player doesn't like it BTW what are you using? you could also try to change your media (+ format ) to dvd rom if your dvd burner supports changing the booktype settings . if you have a log of the burn that would help a lot it would answer the above questions . I burn to Verbatim and Taiyo Yuden discs and havent found a player that doesn't like them

sorry to hear about your troubles with media ,I think and the forum members will back me up if its not Verbatim or Taiyo Yuden discs then its a gamble .To have found 3 different media ID's is a rip off company at work .You can name the company we name the good companys so naming the rip off artists is fair play. those discs are Gigastorage discs and if you Google the disc ID the reviews are negative

national holiday here but the bills have to be paid so off to work for me too

if you dont want to ask then look on the nights around the new releases(tuesday) they bag them up and put them out for garbage collection .I used to get them this way but then I made a friend in the store

the disc burns from the inside out and as such there is less video on the inside as you move to the outer edge more can be written and as such it can handle more speed .Burning at 16X didn't produce the best scans in tests ,keeping it to 12x produced better quality discs

BenQ dw1655 $41 at www.meritline.com

heres a tip on DVD cases if theres a Blockbuster near you they get their new releases Tuesday and transfer them to their cases with the locks on them and they then throw out the original cases .I asked if I could have them and was able to get a couple of thousand over the last 2 years.I still have 5-6 hundred in storage ,double cases, colored ones , singles and they're all quality cases

8:32 here no rain but plenty of humidity ,with the pelting we got from enersto I dont have to wash the vehicles. Last couple of days we're getting the downpours in the afternoon ,typical South Florida weather

wow seems like a waste of time to write to those discs ,they assembled a nice little bundle of crap only CMC didn't get mentioned

$129 for a benq 1655 seems way out of line New Egg was selling them in the $40 range but haven't seen any BenQ's for sale there in the last couple of days .If you have to have one wait awhile for the supply to increase that price is jacked up to the max

why would youwant to pause the burn

get better media to start with .Those discs are a step above pure crap .Buy some Verbatim or Taiyo Yudens and eliminate the media as the source of your problem

all the hoopla is over, it rained part of the day then the sun broke out and it was fine. the village of Knighton, in Powys reported raining fish which is not uncommon in areas of Britian. Great Yarmouth in Norfolk also reported raining fish in 2000. If it would only rain chips also

its the DB Minter autograph model

yeah I do ,its still pissing outside but no wind everyone took the day off most stores are closed so its back to bed

Defenstration heres the real deal ,since you've come to this forum it has not been about you helping anyone else .Its all been selfish on your part namely how you would like LUK to change the program so that it benifits you ,and you really cant take no for an answer .You seem to believe that once you make a suggestion that LUK should impliment it . The comparisons to Nero and nero can do this nero can do that ,give it a rest just use Nero . Nero is a commercial software and as such has many employees that write the program in addition to sales staff and marketing etc .This program is the invention of 1 person (no he doesn't want other programmers helping him write it ) who has done a great job and puts it out for free .You seem to think its your right to second guess what LUK wants to do with HIS program, its not your right or anyone elses for that matter. You just rub people the wrong way much like the way calwecyn does, its unfortunate because you really have a great grasp and some good ideas

it looks like it was a lot of hype its 2:30 am and its very calm at the moment it was downgraded to a tropical storm ,we'll see what thew morning brings
