Hi babygpep
Here's a link for the latest firmware - version TU56 & a modified region free firmware.
http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=1971

The rpc comes into play if you are playing dvd's with another region code. Your drive usually allows 4 changes to the region code (besides the intial region setting). If you running AnyDVD in the background it will remove the region code too.

Hello Binkie7

I reflashed. The drive plays original movie. But back-up looks blank.
The drive does attemp to read but it say's no disc in drive e:
I followed these directions.

Windows XP:

> 'Start' -> 'Run' -> Type 'MSINFO32'

> Click 'Components' -> 'CD'

> Wait for System Info to refresh.

> Here are the registry settings for all CD/DVD devices installed.

> The 'PNP device ID' lists the Drives model number, a long underscore

and

> then the F/W.

> The column may need expanding to view the 4 digit number after the

long

> underscore.

> You will also notice a transfer rate entry.

> The value shown here is dependent on the media inserted in the

drive at the

>time of refresh.

Do you know what my problem is?
help please.

Hi babygpep
So the problem is your drive (toshiba) doesn't play the backups?
Do they play in the other drive (sony) or any dvd players?

What media (brand of discs) did you use and what was the burn speed?

Also are these backups from the same region you are in? Like region 1.
(asking cause your 1st post you brought up rpc2).

edit: spelling

Ok you drive still has the TU55 firmwaare. So the flash didn't take. Reboot after you flash the drive.
Here's another link for the firmware - TU56:
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/pdl.asp?page=PFW&ptype=DVDR...

What brand of discs are they - like Verbatim, Sony etc.

AnyDVD removes any region codes - making dvd playable if in a different one - so you're okay there. Since these are backup's the region code has probably been removed since you're using AnyDVD.
