  1. No, you not have to avoid Panasonic or any other big company. They do that trying to be honest on the market and stay away from the gray side.

    U have to addmit that alot of audio/video computer type files are some sort of rips from original copyrighted material.

    The big companies first avoid the law infringement by not adding support to those files, while the little companies gain profit from this delay and make boxes that support virtualy any kind of files.

    Eventualy they add support for files when they see that little companies make profit while they loose and the law not punish them for adding support to any kind of files.

    And yes, the NAME makes the price even if the product is less versatile. Next time probably you will do a research before buying some product with a NAME on it.

    Good Luck!

  2. Read this Tutorial about DVD recordable formats.

     

    Read this Info about Photo CD and Picture CD

     

    A CD containing pictures or photos in .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .tiff or ather formats is just a simple Data disc with those files on it.

     

    From what you provided it seams that it will play just some standard disc like DVD Video, DVD Audio, Video CD, Audio CD.

    It is not mentioned about any file format like .avi, .mkv, .vmw, .vma, .mpg, .mp3, .jpeg and many other file formats that can be on the discs (DVD-R, +R, -R DL, -RW, +R, +R DL, +RW) that it can read/play.

     

    Also it may support the files only on CD. So try with a CD not with DVD.

  3. The source files are playing nice on computer? Did you verify your burns? Post a log.

     

    The disc is in good condition, not scratched?

     

    DVD-RW's are known for problems after extensive use. Use a DVD-R.

     

    Try a Full erase and a lens cleaning.

  4. This Guide will show you how to convert the files. Usualy DVDFlick will burn the disc at the end if it finds a blank disc in the drive and you did not changed the default settings. Current version of DVDFlick comes bundled with its own ImgBurn wich is an older version.

     

    I would recommend to do the conversion with DVDFlick and save as Video_Ts Folder instead of letting it burn the disc at the end. Verify the result with a software player on your computer and if you are satisfied with the result, use latest the ImgBurn to put it on disc.

     

    Use this Guide to burn Video_TS (.ifo, .bup, .vob files) to disc

     

    Yes, vsoConvertXtoDVD is same as ConvertXtoDVD and is not free, DVDFlick is free...

  5. After you set your Homepage at your desire, put this in Notepad

     

     

     

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

     

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]

    "HomePage"=dword:00000001

     

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel]

    "HomePage"=dword:00000001

     

     

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]

    "NoSaveSettings"=dword:00000000

     

     

     

    Save it as LockHomePage.reg in a place easy to find. Rightclick on it and select Merge.

     

    Nothing will ever change your Homepage until you decide to Unlock it with this UnlockHomePage.reg

    And don't be so :angry: , you'll get wrinkles. :whistling:

  6. You are worried about how long a SSD drive will last?

     

    Here what it say...

     

    "We assume perfect wear leveling which means we need to fill the disk 2 million times to get to the write endurance limit.

     

    2 million (write endurance) x 64G (capacity) divided by 80M bytes / sec gives the endurance limited life in seconds.

     

    That's a meaningless number - which needs to be divided by seconds in an hour, hours in a day etc etc to give...

     

    The end result is 51 years!"

     

    Source: http://www.storagesearch.com/ssdmyths-endurance.html

     

    There are more info regarding durability of SSD drives, just search and reed more articles about it.

  7. Did the program show you that can burn at 24x on that media? If it not showing that speed available even if you select 24x it will be burnt at closest speed available, that could be even under 16x that is shown on the media, if that media is not well supported in the burners firmware.

  8. Don't think that a lower speed will get you a better burn. Maybe this was in the past, but now modern drives are better tuned to burn at higer speeds. Why do you think they produce burners and media to write at high speeds that are available today? Just to wait an hour to burn a DVD, when you could do it in 10 minutes? Think about it!

     

    Just give a last try with other speeds available. If that will result in coasters you should replace your faulty drive.

  9. I'm pretty certain my burner has the most up to date firmware
    I 11:36:45 Destination Device: [1:0:0] _NEC DVD_RW ND-4571A 1-01 (F:) (ATA)

     

    Don't be so certain, till you verify to be sure. Look here, there is V 1.02 you have V 1.01

     

    is there any utility which would tell me the firmware version number?

     

    ImgBurn is able tell you the actual installed version and to check for newer version at this site

     

    To verify, go to Tools > Drive > Check for Firmware Updates in any Mode where you have acces to the Drive.
