NEC1300a and DVD-R Prodye 4X

[Nightfly]

Hi guys,

i have a problem with the DVD-R Prodye 4X and i don't know why. I've got the the original firmware of nec 1.0b and i was satisfied with it. It burned everything allright and i ordered the same DVD-R last time and everything was ok. But now my Nec 1300a burns all DVD-R of the new order with just 2X Speed. Why? I have changed nothing and i can't explain it.

The Burner is not the Problem Princo and other DVD-Rs are burned correct with 4X Speed but the Prodye Discs are only burned with 2X. Is there any firmware or something which can solve this problem? Or have i to send the discs back to the shop (i don't hope so)?

I like your burner - I have one myself...

Don't know what burning program you are using. Could it be that you are using a demo version of Nero?

You could check out your new discs and your old discs to see that they have the same mediacode on them. Also if there is a 4x write strategy on them.

Use this program - it's freeware.

Thx for the answer

i tried it and found out that the mediacode is different.
That's the code of the new discs
Media code/Manufacturer ID POMS3A

and that's of the old discs......
Media code/Manufacturer ID VDSPMSAB 01

But that information was more interesting for me:

old discs
Manufacturer Rated Speed 4.0x 5540KBps
Available Write Descriptor CLV 4.0x 5540KBps
Available Write Descriptor CLV 2.0x 2770KBps
Write Strategy Speed 4.0x 5540KBps


new discs:
Manufacturer Rated Speed Unknown
Available Write Descriptor CLV 2.0x 2770KBps
Write Strategy Speed 4.0x 5540KBps

I can't believe it..... what should i do?

oh right i use nero the newest version, but it's not the fault of the program, i tried dvd decrypter and got the same problem....

"Available Write Descriptor CLV 2.0x 2770KBps"

Sounds as your new discs only will burn at 2x. If they burn correct and you can watch the DVDs I think you have to live with it.
