I wonder if anyone here can help me. I have been using the above drive for around 6 months without any problems. Burns dvd's I create myself using either nero or dvd shrink myself fine. However recently it has not been able to read any DVD's that I made using it. These DVD's work fine in a normal DVD player but not on this pc drive. It still burns discs perfectly and it reads CD's that I have burnt fine. I don't understand it myself and I am wondering if anyone has come across this problem before and how to correct. Thanks in advance
Nope never worked. Anybody got any other ideas ? Brings up a folder now when I put a dvd in. Empty it says 0 byte , 0 bytes avalabile at the bottom ?
Did you change anything with your blank media? Change formats,Brand names/different speed rates/or even different spindle of the exact same brand name? What's the brand name,format,and speed rate of your blank media? Have you tried the opposite format? I'm working with a member who has the SonyDru-830A with a similar issue- Burner burns ok,plays on stand alone players,but won't recognize the backups it produces-most likely format issue or his drive doesn't like a certain MID coded media.
you may need a firmware upgrade for your burner go to WWW.firmwarepage.com and check for newest firmware
saugmon , I have used varous tyoes of dvd's + - , differnent brand names and not had problems before with this drive. Not doing anything different that what I would normally do. I am not a beginer when it comes to burning dvd's (no expert either !) But I can't understand why it won't read the DVD's I have burnt. Trying to update the firmware now and see if that helps
