Playback Issues

[Chewy]

I got rid of my 4x burner 3 years ago, my 8x 2 years ago, my 12x last year

[Junkie_ball]

Had thought of upgrading me burner but am hoping to change the whole system in the near future.

Can anyone in the mean time suggest any media i could try. I've been onto www.videohelp.com but no media reports for the samsung dvd-r119 have been done!

Could you please post a log from either ImgBurn or Dvd Decrypter?

Am i to assume i need to download 0251 or is it 0350 firmware?? not sure which is most up to date!

SVP is where i buy all my media from thanks chewy. Geuss ill get the new media update firmware and see how i get on.

Thanks for all your help on this one!

[Chewy]

I would try the 0251 first, good luck

[Junkie_ball]

Cheers for the help i'll give that ago later

[Junkie_ball]

Hi alittle help please trying to update the firmware as discussed downloaded 0251 as chewy suggested and it doesn't seem to be working.

Keeps erroring before even trying to flash the drive. i'm not sure how the versions are numbered could someone tell me which is the next most up to date?? I think its 0151 could someone please advise me on how i find this out??

[Chewy]

how is it erroring exactly?

[Junkie_ball]

Hi,

I've just tried using the older version 0151 with the same error i have done a screen dump to show the error please see below.

Flash Error.doc

[Chewy]

try 0051 last of the 2 digit ones

wth these old firmware you might have to flash to that then try one of the 3 digit ones

[Junkie_ball]

OK! Ill try now and report back! Thanks for all the help on this.

[Junkie_ball]

Right that worked a treat! Updated to 0051 first then to 0251!

Hopefully now i can get somewhere i'm ordering new media tomorrow thought i'd try these (Verbatim 'Silver Top' (16x) DVD+R) unless anyone can suggest any better media.

Don't want to end up with another bunch of coasters but guess only testing will see if that happens or not!
