mmalves Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 That parameter is informed to ImgBurn by the drive and shows the real type of media inside the burner, or at least how the burner recognizes that media. You might also want to look here: http://www.firmwarehq.com/Pioneer/DVR-112D/files.html
eSkRo Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 oh my, i feel dumb.... so its the media info thats shown there ok,,, sweet! i think i got an old firware -> 1.21 -> 19th April, 2007 from the link you gave me, 1.28 was out on 1st August, 2008 But if my drive works, i dont feel like updating it....
mmalves Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Having the latest firmware ensures the drive "knows" how to do best quality burns on most of the media available on the market (the software doesn't even come into it) and, at least for me, that's very important
eSkRo Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 so your saying i should update it right? and if so, how do i do that? updating firmware makes me freak,,,, and also, is there a way to revert back is some goes wrong?
mmalves Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 Updating the firmware is as simple as downloading the updater and running it (if you're on Vista/Win7 right-click on it and choose Run As Administrator just to be sure). Close all programs before updating, and after it has finished updating, reboot the computer. Do not reboot/power off while it's updating.
LIGHTNING UK! Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 download the file (unzip it if needed) and run it... it's not rocket science
eSkRo Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 But by doing so, the files will be installed on the drive itself or? like if i update my drive to 1.28 and then remove it from my PC and plug it in my friends PC, will it show firmware 1.28 or 1.21?
mmalves Posted April 4, 2009 Posted April 4, 2009 It'll be 1.28 as the firmware is written to the burner's memory.
eSkRo Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 so the only way to revert back is to install 1.21 again?
eSkRo Posted April 4, 2009 Author Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) Firmware updated to 1.28! it was in fact e-z to do! thanx a bunch guys! now i guess this will ensure i get the best possible burns from my drive! Edited April 4, 2009 by eSkRo
