LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 That drive / firmware doesn't like Ricoh DL discs. A firmware update may fix that (if there is one). Failing that, buy Verbatim DL discs instead. They're more expensive but you'll end up with good burns rather than coasters!
cornholio7 Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 i think thats a re-brand in a fujitsu-siemens, i dont believe there are many firmware updates for them . as LUK said, try Verbatim , they work in my 3500
jaymac Posted April 15, 2006 Author Posted April 15, 2006 Thanks guys will try that Cornholio7 do you use - 0r + or matters it not
kevdriver Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 jaymac, As a rule of thumb always use +r's with DL media.
Kenadjian Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 And don't forget to set the "book type" to DVD ROM on the +DL media.
jaymac Posted April 15, 2006 Author Posted April 15, 2006 And don't forget to set the "book type" to DVD ROM on the +DL media. Thanks will that enable my player which only plays dvd- to play a+
chewy Posted April 15, 2006 Posted April 15, 2006 (edited) http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1904 there's a 2.88 firmware even it's dated 11/10/2004, but there is an excel file with supported media I'd stick with good 8x single layer media might be worth a go with a drive conversion and the newest firmware? http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/3500/ Edited April 15, 2006 by chewy
Kenadjian Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Thanks will that enable my player which only plays dvd- to play a+ 9 times out 10, yes.
jaymac Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 Thanks will that enable my player which only plays dvd- to play a+ 9 times out 10, yes. Thanks kenadjian also Thanks Chewy I did that update to 2.88 and it accepted the disc started to burn then failed which is a step further than before. Got some Verbatims on order.Cheers Jaymac
lfcrule1972 Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 My burners didn't like the RICOHJPN DL's, I tried them in NEC's and Benq and same results. As said above stick to Verbatim DVD+R DL's for dual layer burns.
jaymac Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 Ok guys thanks to everyone tried and succesfully burned a verbatim+r DL without a hitch. Also plays ok in my -R player
