I haven't yet seen any posts about the v1.12 firmware. I just received my Pioneer 107 and promptly upgraded it to the v1.12 from Pioneer's site. The drive included a Piodata 8x DVD-R. The disc burned perfectly at 8x with Nero 6.3. I have read all the posts about hacked firmware that allows 8x burning. The Pioneer site states: "Firmware Update 1.12 improves writability/playability and expands 8X media support with Daxon, Prodic, RITEK, and Mitsubishi Chemical/Verbatim" Given the above, is there still a benefit to the hacked firmware - perhaps faster ripping, and 8x burning to media that are not listed above? Would I be killing my drive to flash it with the hacked 1.10 firmware after flashing it to the official 1.12? Thanks to all.
perhaps the direct link to the firmware page would help! http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/article/0,,2076_4249_39099161,00.html
