Problems with Sony DRU510

[Ex-Copy]

Hi, Everyone,

I've searched these forums but I've not been able to find anything that relates to my problem, so here goes. I have a Sony DRU510 DVD Burner that appears to have a problem reading any DVDs that are released from Village Roadshow. I then try the same DVDs in the drive on my laptop and all is fine. At first I thought it was confined to just the one title (Muriel's Wedding 10th Anniv) but now I am noticing that at least another one (Miss Congeniality Deluxe Edition) is having the same issue.

I have not upgraded or modified the firmware on this drive since I've had it.

Has anyone come accross this problem before?

A firmware upgrade, although it can't hurt (if properly performed) shouldn't have any impact on your burner's ability to read a commercial, pressed DVD. It should be able to read any and all commercial DVDs, unless of course, the disc is for a different REGION...

Thanks everyone for the replies.

The discs are for the correct region (4), the drive is not region free.

in au, like you. both of those titles rip effortlessly

Yes they do for me too - in every other drive but the DRU-510A. I think I'm just going to get a DVD Rom to read them and use that to burn.

Anyway thanks everyone once again for all your help on this

if you want a good reader/combo, then try the lite-on (with the same lite-on badge). they cost around $65 au.

still finding it strange that it's effected by the village raodshow only (hmmm)

Cheers from Sydney!

Well I am happy to report that I ran a cleaner through it and the movies it wouldn't read now work

I still might get a second drive though, I had two in my previous PC and I miss it.

Thanks once more for all your help.

Your perceived problem regarding only "Village Roadshow" must have just been a coincidence...
