Hi all, has anyone tried the firmware for EWR10D4? (above link), is it the real firmware? my dvd recorder works great except for the 8X media.

Of course it is real.
You have to burn the cue/iso image to a cdrom by going to nero, select recorder->burn image, and select the cue file. After you unzip it of course. Fixes 8x media problem.
Don't forget to press CM SKip 6 5 4 to upgrade.

look at the post above to burn and install(burn the cue file). I used a dvd-rw for my upgrade,you "should" have one of these handy....if not,I am pretty sure a cd-rw will work or just use a regular cd-r,they cost like 10 cents these days.

hey,
this is what im doing. i downloaded firmware upgrade, i unzipped it.
i then burnt the cue file to a cd-rw(im out of cd-r's), i then pressed cm skip 654 a green screen appeared and promt me to insert disc , i did , then it said "loading disc" it does this for a few seconds and ejects itself and promts me to insert disc again. i guess its not reading the cd-rw?.
so you say i can burn the cue file to a dvd-rw? which program should i use to burn the cue file to a dvd-rw.? all i have is musicmatch jukebox thanks

By the way,many thanks to booser108 for sending me the firmware update to begin with. It has made great use of my 8x 100 disc spindle that has been collecting dust for a few months now. And just to clarify to future upgraders....this firmware does WORK,no problems whatsoever on new 8x media or my many hundreds of older 1-2-4x discs(-rw,-r) that I alredy burnt and continue to re-use. I am going on almost 2 years with this recorder and I can do nothing more than highly recommend it,before this I had a Sony and it lasted a mere 3 months...go figure.

There are many, but I highly recommend you use Nero. Using Musicmatch is not recommended for this task...or any for that matter. You can get a free trial at www.ahead.com or get the full version for free if you know what you're doing, hint: it starts with an "e" and ends with "Mule".

Make sure you finalize the disc as well...no multisession,it will not read the disc otherwise.

i guess im doing something wrong, heres what i did!
i found my dvd-rw and i burnt the cue file on it. i finalized the disc.
i put it in my burner to upgrade and still it only loads the disc for a few sec and it ejects itself and tells me to insert a disc. i also did the same thing with a dvd-r and still not fixed. i guess my only option is to go to wal-mart buy some blank cd-r's and try again.
ps. the cue file is only 73 bytes or 0.59 mb is that right?

Yes, but are you using Nero? With the cd-rw in the drive(make sure it is clean),open Nero and select File>open and select the cue file. It should show up as a cue sheet and ask for burn settings(should show up as about 3 megs now),burn at lower settings(ie. 16x or lower)for best results.

I am wondering about something--if anyone can tell me about their experience...when you burn a DVD on the Emerson, has anyone run into other DVD players that won't work properly? Being new to DVD burning, I am hoping DVDs I make will play on any DVD player, I have 3 more players (2 cheap but excellent Apex's and 1 Toshiba combo).

Hopefully someone can help.. I shot some footage with my Sony Mini-DV camcorder. then I brought it into my PC using FIREWIRE and edited it with adobe premiere 6.5. then exported the final product back to mini-dv. now I hooked up the sony Camcorder to my Emerson DVD recorder. Tried to copy the finished mini-dv project onto my DVD recorder and it tells me I can not do so and according to the manual it says the error I am gettting has to do with copy protection? I can however copy the RAW unedited footage. does anyone know why this is happening and how I can resolve the issue so I can copy my edited projects from mini-dv to my emerson dvd recorder??
Thanks..

Hi,
Has anybody that has done the Firmware upgrade for 8x DVD-R's had recording problems after the upgrade?
Here is the problem I am having, not sure if it is a result of the upgrade or a problem with the recorder.
First problem, Records fine but when you hit stop it goes to about 60% writing to disc it stops and says recording error E14 28052100. Also has done this but says cannot record to disc.
The second problem is that it writes to disc 100%, but when I try and type in the title name and it starts to write to disc it comes up cannot record to disc.
The other problem I had today. It wrote to disc 100%, but I tried to play it in the recorder before I finalized it and the display said 40 minutes into the movie, but it just started and it said power off on the recorder front display, but power would not go off until I hit power on the recorder itself, remote would not respond.
I have used my regular DVD's and 8x with the same result. This has happened about 5 times out of about 30 burns.
Thanks,
Budman28

I have an issue with my recorder I hope someone can help with. I shot with my SOny mini-dv camcorder.. I can then copy the raw unedited footage to the emerson DVD recorder fine. Now, If I take the footage using my XP PC and firewire and import it into PREMIERE 6.5, edit and then send the finished product back to my Sony Camcorder over firewire and THEN hook the camcorder using either SVIDEO or rca cables up to the EMERSON DVD recorder, the recorder tells me I am not allowed to copy the tape. The manual references copy protection. NOW since I edited this myself, why would there be any copy protection? I dont understand why I can copy the RAW footage but NOT the edited footage...
Any help would be appreciated...

dahuass:
If your computer supports firewire, why are you even bothering trying to record with your emerson? Just import into your computer and buy a $50 dvd burner. Use TMPGEnc DVD Author to make it into a nice DVD with menus. It'll save you more time and problems than you'll ever know.

I have a DVD recorder on my PC but for it takes time to convert the file to DVD video format, then make the menus and burn. For simple things, I want to just copy to DVD from the completed and transfered Mini-DV tape. I dont understand why this doesnt work?

Doesn't take that long and the quality is so much better (Variable Bit Rate vs Constant Bit Rate). DVD santa can convert in real time on 2 ghz P4. Plus, Emerson doesn't make 100% compatible DVDs (they work on 95+% of all players).
