ooh....so close. I saved it to my computer but it doesn't recognize the file. I'm getting the prompt to choose which application to open it with. Any suggestions, or perhaps another site I can download from.
bad burns at 16x media - good at 8x!!!

I am a little skeptical after googling these guys,
I don't trust them, especially when they don't
even name a file right!
btc site was worse, much worse!
DVDRW 1016UI/1116UI
I downloaded both files, yours just lacks the ".exe" at the end,
what the heck I'd go for it, it's a crappy drive anyway,
like I said just put an nec 3540 in the case.Comment

it is a crazy site!!!! I clicked on the file to save it and it came up as an unknown file type the first time, the second time it came up as a .exe. If it says unknown file type for you cancel and then do a right click, save as and add .exe on the end. Watch for the file type it says you are getting.Not registered Go here and click register to join the Digital Digest Forums

This forum is unbelieveable!!! Thank you guys sooooo much. I was able to update the firmware using directions from many of you (talk about a group effort!) special shout out to jm1647 for the adding the "exe" advice. It worked like a charm and now my crappy burner is running like a champ. just backed up Fever Pitch, using the I/O Magic and the Verbatim 16x and NO pixelation. It plays GREAT!
HUGS,

Francksoy,
"PIE/PIF error testing, as well as transfert rate tests, shows that the paradigm "burn at lower speeds for better quality" is totally flawed."
I think I agree with you here, drive and media manufacturers surely know what they are doing. What's the point of making disc capable of 16x and a burner capable of writing to this speeds if it doesn't work? I have been burning using Max speeds and no problem at all. I use Philips 8701 and Teac DV-W58E.

Hi,
I have an i/o magic dvdrw 1008ui (according to the label on the bottom of the drive) and my writing software has not been able to detect/burn to it. My OS is windows xp, and I tried to download and install firmware for the writer from the i/o magic firmware upgrade website. Sadly when I try to run it, it gives me the message:
This firmware can be used on below drives :
(1) DVDRW USB1008UI .
(2) DVDRW USB1008 .
CD-ROM drive model doesn't match!!
and nothing is showing in the 'target drive' box so I can't press upgrade. I wonder whether the model number is actually different to what it says. I can't run Nero info tool or dvdinfopro (I get different and confusing error messages with both), but I managed to run "Flashman's Detect Firmare Version Tool" and this is the info it gave me:
Device: HL-DT-STDVD-ROM GDR8081N Firmware Version: 0012
Any help would be *much* appreciated !
