Who said LGs couldn't DQ Scan?

I'll give it a go and see. Good find soupy!

EDIT: As chewy thought, no go - the drive doesn't support it (well, it supports C2, but that's as far as she goes).

The new version of CD-DVD Speed may work, or be worth a try. Improved support for LG and Liteon Burners is now available according to the change log. Likely the newer drives that noticed any change though.

But beware Sammy scanners, unless somebody can find the path through the Registry for this new version, because from what I have read, we are back to being greyed out. Haven't tried it yet myself, might not after finding that out.

I think if you have an older LG like I do, the chipset is just gunna restrict you anyway.

I found this to be true on my SH-182D. 4.7.7.15 version greyed. Checked the registry and Samsung was not on the blocked list.

I also ran the Enable CD Scanning 32 bit fix and still no go.

Newest version that will work is only 4.7.5.0

If you do try it make sure you back up your current version because the old versions are next to impossible to find.

Good Luck

Good to know, staying with 4.7.7.5. Nice of them to enable LG after all this time and screw the rest of us,lol. Most of the versions are out there, but not on the nero site.

hi guys. so what's the story now w/the newer lg's apart from scanning? my oem from dell is still holding up, and i do need another burner, an ide at that. is their firmware support really that bad of a problem still? or is it that they're slow to respond w/them? i have 2 admit i like the lgs. most of their products aside from burners are good too.

@blu, I tried the new version with the only thing blocked in registry, PLEXTOR, GSA-H62N would not perform DQ Scan, so I guess it doesn't matter how old or new, just thought you should know.

@dr, I like my GSA-H62N as a good all round drive.

The story for me so far on the new version of CDSpeed. Saved my old version & copied the new into Nero Toolkit, launched & both Sammys greyed out, checked registry through the normal Nero 6 path, only thing blocked PLEXTOR. Launched old version as standalone, Sammys not greyed out, works as normal. Used 32 bit script & same story as applies to the new version. I have seen a DQ Scan done with SH-S203B & the new version, (it looked like in Vista), on another Forum, currently waiting on the scanners answer to my ? on how the heck they did it. I also noticed that the new version is 1.70 MBs, while the old is 1.85MBs, the reason why I am mentioning this is, if there is nowhere in the registry it's being blocked, then it has to be the program.

EDIT: I am losing it, I posted the story in here instead of Jake's thread.

i know the feeling soup. just look at all my threads, and you'll see i lose it myself. not so bad as i see it's helping others. started laughing by myself when i thought maybe they should all b merged into 1 thread. it's all good. can't post different topics in same thread when we have all the forums available 4 everything mostly. that being said i think i'm going 2 go check out some lgs, and pull the trigger. at least i have very good reference to go by as mine has done very well, and now another confirmation from you, and some of the other fellas.

1 thing 4 sure is that the LGs are great readers. While my sammies are just fine I do run into an occasional pause and read errors on some slightly scratched discs. Too much hastle to install my LG just 4 1 disc. So just throw it into my Magnavox stand alone and do a real time w/my Toshiba D-RW2SU.
