Ok so I was trying to backup a DVD to take on a trip with me and I just bought this computer it is a HP Pavilion G6 with a DVDRAM-GT50N DVD drive but when I go to rip the disc the max it rips at is 2.4x I have played with settings in the programs I was using and still the max it will rip is 2.4x. I believe I may be rip locked. Just wondering if anyone knows where I could get the firmware to flash my drive to unlock it.

What program were you using to back-up your copy?

I used the MediaCodeSpeedEdit tool to get an LG drive up to 16X read speed - but it may not work on your particular drive (HP version?) and it may end in tears if it kills the drive.

ImgBurn is handy for locating available firmware (Tools > Drive > Check for firmware updates).

Sadly that is probably the only thing I did not do in Img burn lol. But I already tried that program to increase the speed but I couldn't any firmware online for my drive. So ill give the Img burn thing a shot

@ attar ok so I did the check for firmware update with img burn and the website it took me to gave me a list of 117 different results for my drive. my question is can I use any of them to use with MediaCodeSpeedEdit? I also attached a screenshot of the results.

I would guess that you would have to go to the HP site to find it - I assume ImgBurn gave you the version number you should be looking for.

Post at the VideoHelp site - in the burner forum.

If the burner uses Renesas chips, you might be able to rip the firmware with the flasher program (link below)to a .bin file:

Then modify it with MediaCodeSpeedEdit, then reflash the modified .bin with the flasher.

ok got the command prompt to work but it failed to find pattern and failed to get firmware info

and I did run it as admin so I guess mine does not use the renesas chip
