Hello there, I hope I have contacted the right department about the problem I have. I have a NEC 3540A DVD RW Burner (which is a great little burner) and have had no problems whatsoever in burning onto various Discs. However, I have just tried to Use Memorex DVD-r blank discs and keep getting the message "this disc could be incompatible or you will need a more recent burner" I have checked on the Internet and Memorex DVD-r seems to be a regular problem for this burner. I am just wondering if there is any updates I can download from NEC that will allow the burner to accept these discs. Many thanks GARRY HERRING
The only firmware listed at the link is 1.04, you would have to check your version to see if it's earlier. The likes of ImgBurn can tell you which firmware version you have (Tools > Drive > Capabilities). http://www.firmwarehq.com/NEC/ND-3540A/files.html
The other thing to do it find the media code (manufacturer and type) (see here for a listing of all known types for memorex dvd-r) http://www.videohelp.com/dvdmedia?d...rder=Name&hits=50&search=Search+or+List+Media Imgburn gives the Media Code. Once you know the code, you can research it a little more. (I have this drive myself and have never experienced this message).
liggy and dee's rpc1 region free firmware is the one.. way better than the manufacturers stuff. old drive now.. I wouldn't put memosux junk near my 3550 http://liggydee.cdfreaks.com/page/en/
