Unable to Burn With New Media - Help?

[msiler]

I have burned several hundred DVD's of both data and movie back-ups and have been successful with almost everyone.
I have used several media companies like Sony, Verbatim and Maxell but all have been DVD+R media.

I recently purchased Taiyo Yuden DVD-R media (from a reputable dealer). DVD Identifier shows
them as real Taiyo Yuden TY03's.

My problem is that I cannot burn a single disc with this new, supposedly, top of the line
DVD-R media...what can I do to fix my problem? I have no problem using my existing DVD+R media.

My burner is a Lite-On SOHW 1633S (BSOS Firmware)

Thanks in advance,
-Matt-

this may sound daft but does your writer support -r disc the mrs brother bought a new pc recently and his dvd writer only supports +r discs

Do you have a burn log that you can post?

I opened the frimware and TYG03 is not in there
that's a 3rd generation liteon, they are up to 6 by now

old burner/new media don't mix well

I would get a new burner or sell that media to someone else

At liteon website is available a new firmware for 1633, named BS0Y.

You can download from here

That's the firmware I opened with alan's medicodespeededit, TYG03 is not listed.

TDKG02000000 2x
TTG01 4x
TTG02 8x,6x,4x
TTH01 8x,6x,4x
TTH02 8x,6x,4x
TYG01 4x
TYG02 8x,6x,4x
UME01 8x,6x,4x

So the only solution is to buy different media or a new burner

You can take codesguys bin file and edit it and replace TYG02 with TYG03
and reflash.

1) I originally ordered TYG01 discs and received the TYG03. A such I am asking for a replacement of my original order or media of equal quality.

2) How do I find the info on what discs my burner will accept under it's current Firmaware (BSOH)? i.e. CHEWY - you were able to see what it would accept with the BSOY Firmware how do I see (or can yo do for me) that same info...

Thanks for all the awesome help guys - man are you all FAST with the help!!!

[Chewy]

if you update to BSOY this is what your burner's firmware will support

I googled your burner and you never said what type those dvd-r are. your burner is compatible with 16x dvd+r but only 8x dvd-r. here you can check it out for yourself: http://www.cdrinfo.com/Sections/Revi...rticleId=10978 .

are your Taiyo Yuden DVD-R media 16X? Sounds like your going to have to use 8X

[copyless]

I know the TYG03 disc I have are 16x. I love them of course if my burner didn't support them, I wouldn't like them as much. How many do you have, ready to get rid of them?

It may cost you less to get a new burner then the blank media coasts.
go to newegg.

Final Solution was to Flash my burner!
I flashed my Lite-on 1633s burner to the newest 1653s crossflash found here: http://codeguys.rpc1.org/firmwares.html#SOHW-1653S

I used this patch:
CS0T - patched - crossflashing, multi-colored LED (for 1213S, 1613S, 1633S)

It was easy, all I had to do was: Download the patch, Extract the .RAR file, Run the App, Re-boot.

Now it burns my TYG03 discs!

2 hours of research and 5 minutes to flash...
