External Burners

[Chewy]

The burner is on a firewire
not sure a flash would find it either, but then there's usb, shoot!
How fast does it burn(time)?
I'd try an 8x on both interfaces and monitor task manager cpu use

[codajohn]

Yes it is.

[codajohn]

I'll try USB. My bad! I didn't same the log befo closing.

[Chewy]

you might test straight rip with shrink of a burned disk over the 2 interfaces to see if there's any speed advantage

[codajohn]

Tried USB. No read. The disk I burned playes just fine. Burner is listed in My Computer and Divice Manager. However iks is listed via USB as a Mass Storage Device. Via firewire it was liste as the burner. Don't know if means anything, but I had my external HD on the USB while I burned.
Is Nero and Info tool supposed to test on an external burner?
Thanks

I did some checking and found out that LG's don't support a qualioty disk scanning(Nero CD Speed or INfo Tool) However, using DVD Identifier worked.

driver dvd burners(new firmware)

what worse than not enough women to dance with?
too many women

[codajohn]

Not quite the story of my life. Glad you had a great time.

Lg says " Not Authorized(your request did not come from the LG sites, Or your request information is empty)"
? Do I need to register first?
CJ

[Chewy]

see if you can get to this page

[codajohn]

Yes. I had to turn off, as per their instructions, all firewall and antivirus software. I haven't had my coffee yet. I'm hooked!!!!

All done. New firmware Ver.A105 is in.
As always, thank you for your time and energies.
CJ

Time for coffee!!!!!

[Chewy]

ur more than welcome,
be sure and check out cd speed again, the firmware may have changed a
few things(enabled) but no quality scans(lg's never do that)
and just for the heck of it see how fast a burn you can do with firewire sometime
