Yes it's an illegal disc error.. with a difference!

[rocket69]

I recently bought a pack of 25 TDK DVD-R 1-16x speed single sided discs. I chose these as I've had a couple before that worked fine.

I go to burn a new DVD of data (videos and pictures) and I get an illegal disc error! I'm new to this so I haven't a clue where to go.. Can any of you guys help? I'll post the error log if that helps.

Your firmware for your burner is 4 generations old!

Get the new firmware and directions here: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1934

[codajohn]

Your DVD drive firmware needes to be updated to BSOY version. Your firmware is very old. Try this first.

http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?category=4&manufactor=17

Gary D you are fast!

[rocket69]

Thanks for this help guys, I really appreciate it but the link to the new firmware isn't there! I've only been able to update it too BSOH which hasn't done the trick unfortunately.

Is there another link to this you could recommend?

Would this work with other discs? Or is that a cheap way out?!?! I'm ready to pull my hair out!

[LT. Columbo]

here is BSOY

http://www.liteonamericas.com/twnmain/DOWNLOADS/ODD/SOHW-1633S/firmware/DR16BS0Y.zip

may want to update nero to 6.6.0.18 or 6.6.1.4 depending how/if you use dvd shrink

[jamoskeag3]

Did you try website for the burners manufacturer to see if they had firmware support.
Now Columbo is too fast for me. Must be trend on this thread.

[rocket69]

Wow... You're all too fast for me! I thought I'd have this problem for weeks but thanks to you guys I've managed to fix it in minutes!!

Thanks for all your help, I just burnt my first disk and it works fine!! Amazing!!

I'll probably be back soon as I'm sure something else will go wrong... but for the mean time! Thanks!

[LT. Columbo]

finally a quick fix and a happy ending. glad all of us could help

remember it's one of the GROB

Note that if you go past nero 6.6.0.18, later versions do not allow you to go auto from shrink to nero. See link below

is it taking you 30 minutes or over an hour to burn a full dvd?
