hey i just got a sony-dru500ax and have a firmware 2.0c and would like to know do i have to update the firmware???????
also when i try to burn a dvd or PS2 game with DVDXCOPY or with NERO using a DVD-R VERBATIM AND IMATION BLANK disk my burning application stops responding and have to restart my computer or close the application once i insert the blank why does this happen????
the only time it works when i brun with a sony dvd+rw that came with my burner thats the only blank that works,should i get the sony dvd-r and see if it works ???
does my burning applications stop responding because im using the wrong media?????
I have not tried the DVD-R but I have used the Verbatim DVD+R 4X and DVD+RW 2.4X with great success. I'm using FW 2.0f (which is available at the Sony website: http://sony.storagesupport.com/dvdrw/index.htm DVDRW support, choose your drive for the specific page).
BTW, I've used the Fuji DVD+R (2.4x). I haven't seen a coaster yet with either. I have had bad luck with generic or house brand media.
i too reccomend the verbatim dvd+r, the fujifilm dvd+r for ps2, xbox and movies. have not had one coaster so far that was'nt my fault (2). i do though avoid using nero i use record now max and alcohol 120%. also ps2 and xbox can use accu dvd-r. i havent tried the accu dvd-r for movies yet.
