chewy Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 DW-G120A with MYR4 oem and crossbranded? for future reference if needed only http://club.cdfreaks.com/f44/flasfix-unabl...88/#post1934930
chewy Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 http://club.cdfreaks.com/f44/sony-dw-g120a...r-scans-193376/ looks like that firmware is fine
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Were you in Write mode when you copied + pasted that text dvdburn0r? I ask this because it's not listing any supported write speeds for the media.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 Ok so going by your posts, you say you've tried it at 6x and 2.4x. 2.4x isn't a supported speed hence it's really 6x all over again. Have you actually it at the rated 16x (or even 12x) ?
dvdburn0r Posted December 21, 2007 Author Posted December 21, 2007 i haven't tried it at the 16x (or 12x), should i burn another disc at that speed and see what happens? i don't wanna waste another disc though
LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 21, 2007 Posted December 21, 2007 I can't really see as you have any choice. If it fails again, they might aswell all be classed as coasters anyway - your drive seems to have problems with them and you'll need to buy some better ones (Verbatim / Taiyo Yuden).

LIGHTNING UK! Posted December 22, 2007 Posted December 22, 2007 That drive is really not up the to job of burning those discs properly (note the 1x, 2.4x write speeds), it's probably using a default write stratagy and producing a disc of questionable quality. That said, if it works, at least the spindle isn't totally useless. You'll just need other discs if you want to burn on your Sony drive.
dvdburn0r Posted December 23, 2007 Author Posted December 23, 2007 i recently got a pack of 100 tdk dvd's, should i get a refund on them?

chewy Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 see the faq's for dma if that's fine for the new burner then try moving it to the end of the cable as stand alone master and put it on the shortest power lead all by itself you are using a new 80 conductor cable???

chewy Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 So instead of having your dvd burners share a cable, you have them share with your hard drives? I never had much luck with anything sharing, but dvd burners that were never used at the same time. My hard drives and dvd burners are always being used at the same time and they never share a cable.
