I am having trouble with my Optorite DVD writer model DD0201. At first when i got it everything was fine, as I purchased a tub of 25 Bulkpaq orange x4 DVD-R media with it too. These discs worked fine, then when I bought another 25 of the same disc nothing would work properly. My Denon DVD players takes a long time to access the discs and when they eventually load they are often jerky and freeze for short periods, I have also tried a couple of Datawrite Red x4 V2 DVD-R discs and these do similar things. I have got hold of some Ritek x2 DVD-R discs and these still take a while for my Denon player to access initially, but when they play there is no problem whatsoever! Why does my player take a while to access these discs that I burn now? When it never did and still doesn't with the first tub of Bulkpaq I bought. And will these longer initial access times harm my Denon DVD player? The discs are accessed straight away on the Optorite drive using Power DVD. I guess I need to check the discs out on a friends standalone DVD player to see if my player is just picky! I will never buy these Bulkpaq discs again as they seem mostly to blame. I use different methods to make my backups but all ways have the same symtoms using my latest tub of Bulpak media. The methods I use are DVD X Copy express, DVD Decrypter and DVD Shrink and Nero 6 ultra, or just Shrink and Nero 6.
I was thinking of updating my drives firmware to see if this may help, it is currently using version 2.17. Unfortunately Optorite's website is pretty dire and there Windows flashing utility just crashes on my XP machine, and the instructions for the DOS method are pretty rubbish too for a newbie like myself, can anyone explain this in English please? Or any other tips would be helpful :-)
