Im really happy with my pioneer 215 with standard firmware (ive ruine a few previously by buggering around with modded)but it wont co operate with nero dvd speed disc quality check, I have to rely on my BenQ 1650 for that.Another important feature for me is that the pioneer will rip discs that thrw up unreadable errors on my other burners...this is also important when considering the purchase of a new burner.But luckily theyre so cheap bar plextor you can afford a bad buy or two.I would like to know which burners will play ball with dvd speed....ive posted this request on the nero forum but no replies yet if anyone on this one can help!!

pieman....
you might try version 4.7.5.0 and see what happens with your Pioneer when scanning discs. ;) IIRC Eric removed the Pioneers from scanning at the request of Pioneer starting with version 4.7.7.3 I think... :)
I have the Pioneer 112D@Pioneer 112L f/w 8.25 and it does very well. :D I've thought about the newer 215 and if I can find $30 laying around I may make another purchase. lol. Don't tell the wifey tho... hehehe

go here and "hover" over the d/l's near the bottom left hand side of the page and see if you can get version "4.7.5.0". good luck .... :D

Just because it sucks for you doesn't mean it sucks for everyone else. :P
So are you looking for another drive or just flaming Pioneer?? lol.

I like how he just qualifies the previous statement, explains the inability to burn, play, or rip to certain types of media, how it makes coasters with consistant results, or whatever else doesn't work for him.
What steps have you taken to reduce the "suckiness" of that drive?
or, has it been abused and overused to the point of wearing out?

Lol, your right t point it out.
It was touted as burns owt and bought because its dual layer. I bought some dual layer disks that appear in the compatible list on the most recent firmware - it thinks they are CD's.
I also had problems with numerous single layer ones, can't remember what now.

NOW that's better. lol.
So what do you want to do about your Pioneer?? I think there is some "patched" f/w for it.. but if you don't want to mess with it I understand. We can make many suggestions on new ODD's for you too!!! :)
