The firmware of your drive is basically a software put in to your hardware. In other words and as described by this site's glossary, it is the operating system of your DVD burner.

The way to know whether you need to update it is to check your drive's manufacturer's website and check for firmware updates. It's always good to have the latest version.

Don't worry though... It's not something that gets updated every day or so and if your drive is fairly current, chances are it's still using the most recent firmware.

Always use good quality blank media. Verbatim is always a good call. Don't be seduced by those 50-spindles you find in the $2.99 bin at your local car wash! :)

@ Philraz

Sorry there. I guess we were pretty much writing replies at the same time.
