I have to shut it down, then turn it on again
that sounds more like a weak power supply, interacting with worn dirty fans
starting up a computer needs the strongest power and is also needed for proper functioning of a dvd burner
-
try to burn no faster than 8x if the new firmware worked, also might think about better media like verbatim or taiyo yuden's
-
Chewy- Are you suggesting using a patched firmware designed for a different drive for better results?? I have the 1633s and just updated to BSOY....is CSOT a better option for me with my drive 1633s?? Please advise.
http://codeguys.rpc1.org/dvdrw_overview.html
this is an easy question to answer, if you read up at these sites, you find that the drives are the same, just with different firmware releases
I assume it's a marketing gimmick, name the drive something higher, 1653 vs 1633, and start a new firmware series
What we are trying to do is get the latest firmware with the best write strategies and the best support for newer mid codes.
With these patched firmware flashers it's important to use the right ones, there's no excuses or room for error, many people kill their drives by trying to flash outside their family, if the hardware is not identical you'll probably kill the drive.
I don't reccomend crossflashs on newer working drives, just old antiques, the exception being a hard to find Benq or something.

there's something rotten in Denmark?

(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
http://www.the-predator.com/dell/firmware.html#5-1-6
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.

newer drive with buggy early firmware
DH20A3H YP5U
was out in sept?
-
It's an Asus P5B (Intel 965P chipset).
there's quite a few models with different configuration and our old favorite jmicron controlling a sata or 2

it's a lot more complexe than I even imagined, nice system ntfs et all
I try to keep over 10% free on data partitions and 50% free on smalller system partition
that hard drive looks like it's almost hosed, getting ready for a slow ntfs format
-
try to back up data by burning to dvd or cd or even an external hard drive then delete the copy on your regular hard drive after confirming it transfered
you need to shut down screen savers etc when doing a long defrag
I try not to ever defrag much data, takes too long, that's one of the reasons I burn at 8X, not faster
-
even the latest liteon firmware for that drive family doesn't support that mid code

hard drives don't have to be full when working with sets of 4+gig files to be badly fragmented
do an analysis and see all the red

Those golden rules don't mention "iffy" dvd burners, which from what I have seen all over the web, is a very significant factor, if not the most significant.
Granted, firmware and quality media usually enable those problematic burners to enjoy some success, but conversely we all have seen better dvd burners break all the other rules.

read up on crossflashing and unpacking rar's
this is rocket science/mountainering 101
no hand holding tho, if you want to burn dvd's, got to get your feet wet
http://forum.imgburn.com/index.php?showtopic=5452&hl=
go slow and read everything

in addition to that complete burn log, what's the chipset controlling the southbridge ide controller?
nforce?

kind of a funny mid
well I set it to burn at 16x anyway
-
I guess in brazil you can't burn a good cd faster than 8X?
wonder how the mid thing in imgburn works with cd's
I always burn critical cd's at 16X with good verbatim or sony and a newer dvd burner
-
with non-verbatim dual layer, the motto is
try try again
just don't buy anymore
-
http://sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/firmware.htm#710
it might help, but if it works you'd be better off with verbatim dula layer disks, the 2.4x

One of the best slimline's was the nec 6550

It's a small world or this was the week for old liteon drives
http://codeguys.rpc1.org/dvdrw_overview.html
take a little while to read up on your drive and crossflashing
-
It takes something extraordinary going wrong for a drive to go into pio mode, especially with sp2
not a good sign
-
RITEK-D01-01
and
burning successdon't make a very good couple
-
In pio mode the cpu is trying to handle the whole work load for the burn, the southbridge chipset does no work
Pio mode should still work theoretically but most people's computers are so messed up the cpu can't handle it all
-
why are you using that old dell oem nec to burn dual layer with?
when you have a new LG?
-
keep trying, even at 4x, maybe you'll run into a good blank
if your burner is still working fine
you might post a filter driver load order(under tools)

here's a program that if you rightclick on a vob file, it will tell if you made a ntsc dvd or a pal one
since you are in ntsc land?
computers play both
