I burn alot of DVD's and i use Intervideo's Win DVD to play them or to see if they came out ok, But lately every time i burn a dvd it doesnt want to open in my Win DVD, and i tried to play it in Windows Media Player 10 but still no go, when i play them in my Stand Alone DVD Player they play fine, this burner is only 5 months old but i dont know why this is happening,Could it be my burner or my media i use Philips DVD+R 2.4x, any help would be great,
Thank You
TAURIAN

it is most likely caused by your MEDIA :
Philips DVD+R 4.7GB CMC MAG.R01 2.4x (CMC MAG NOT GOOD~ :P)
i have the same burner as you, are you using the latest firmware too? it's BYX4 by the way, that might be the cause of your problems too~
try some GOOD media, Taiyo Yuden or Verbatim and see if the problem persists~ good luck

Verbatim dvd+r DL (MKM001)= flawless no compression backups

Not sure if disabling DMA is necessary:
I know that Sony recommends it and even gives a place to show how to disconnect it. But if you follow Sony's recommendation on how it leads you to a dead end.
Kivory: maybe you can add some advice here...

Thanks for all your Help i just when ahead and did the upgrade without disabling the DMA then i check to see if the right firmware number was there and it was, so it seemed that i really didn't need to disable it
thanks for the help

sorry for the late reply taurian, just been extremely busy at work today, got patients coming out the a$$ :)
anyways, i WAS going to suggest just continue with the firmware update, the DMA disabling is completely UNECESSARY, it's good that you just went ahead and did it~ i have seen that most of sony's installation instructions are overly "picky"...they include any and all possible problems when it comes to updating firmware...i generally disregard ALL of the suggestions :) not a good idea if you are new to firmware, but you got lucky this time~
good luck to you taurian1, im glad that the update was completed successfully...let us know how your burning is after the media change~

Thanks For all your Help, just wanted to say that i appreciate it a lot, i was reading in the Forums that you can also make your Drives Region Free either With Software or Firmware, but i think they meant Hacked Firmware, how do you guys feel about this, these are my 2 Drives just in case:
Sony DVD-ROM DDU 1612
Sony DVD-RW DRU 710A
was wondering if it worth the effort
Thanks
Taurian

no need to apologize for anything taurian, im just glad you got things up and running smoothly now~ :P
my opinion on "hacked firmware" is like 50/50...i have both my liteon and necs drives hacked, but i use the most up to date/ official firmware for both my main drives : pioneer dvr-109 and the sony dru-710a~
i was debating about doing a cross-flash and/or using hacked firmware for the sony, but, i decided against it as the BYX4 has worked wonderfully for me~ if it's not broke, why fix it right?
stick w/ TYs and you will have smooth sailing just like me~ :)

I also own a Sony-DRU710A with BYX4, worked wonderfully for me (even with longten media lol..), is there any available hacked firmware for the drive (jw Im not thinking in using it)??? I have my RPC1 dvd-rom and I can play with the regions whenever I want so no need to hack my 710a but still curious about any available hacked firmware.....;)

only hacked firmware that i know of is by 1st cross-flashing this sony into a lite-on drive, then using an upgraded firmware for that particular liteon model that removes riplock, allows bitsetting and other functions, etc.etc...i never really looked into it, but i did read it somewhere. :)
im happy w/ my official firmware from sony, so, im not going to tinker with it~ so far so good, i've had this sony dru-710a for over a year now with at LEAST 600+ burns on this drive and it keeps on going *knock on wood* this good fortune will continue~ :)
