Hello,
Great forums! Been reading but haven't seen anything on this new drive.
I am using Easy cd creator 5 to burn to vcd. Everything worked fine usig my older smart and friendly 426 a.k.a. yamaha, but i was tried of opening closing the draw a dozen times before it would see media.

I picked up a plextor 24/10/40a (plextor site has $30 rebate,fyi)

I use v'dub > TMPGEnc > easy cd creator 5.01 as before
but can't play VCD's in sony 7700, which used to have no
problems when I used the S&F drive.

I flashed the firmware on the drive, still no good.

Any one used this plextor, any one used this sony 7700 to read sucessfully?

VCD's from lextor work on PC based DVD players so they are burned ok.

Someone mentioned ECDC 5 was broke as far as VCD's go but it did work previously. And others could read my VCD's.

I am not sure what to try next, putting old drive back is not good as it was torture to work with. But might be worth trying to burn one more VCD as test.

I think I might try nero tomorrow...

Any help would be appricated.

Thanks,
Frank
