Lite-on 411-S and NERO

[beefyJT]

Nero 5.5.10.42 will not recognize my new DVD burner LDW-411S. Has anyone else had this problem and are there any ways to correct? Thanks

[steves38]

Yes I have the same problem. If you check nero's website this model is not on their supported list....

[kenshin himura]

strange, it recognized my lite-on 811s but not your 411s.

[beefyJT]

I've contacted Nero support and am awaiting an answer. I have seen a site where it looks like Nero 6x supports the 411-S.

[kenshin himura]

oh ya, im using 6.0.0.23

[johns0]

Update to NERO 551054,it supports the 411s.

[beefyJT]

What about the stability of 551054? I've seen some issues with some of the later 5.5 releases?

[johns0]

Never a problem finishing burns,only problem i have with it is generic dvd-r media,up grading to the latest firmware for the 411s fixed a lot of those issues.

[beefyJT]

Thanks--the 551054 did the trick!

[johns0]

You can also d/l CDROM.CFG.Just drop it in Programs/Ahead/Nero/Nero Burning Rom.

[gmatov]

Pharlap,

I don't know if your posts are criticisms, or what, but it seem to me if they have made those changes in a week or less, they take their software updates very seriously. Unlike some companies who simply say "Not Supported". Hell, even MS had to be shamed into admitting to a bug. They'd never have repaired it if the "hackers" hadn't pointed it out. Intel and the floating point thing, also.

I don't mind going to the site on a weekly basis and checking.

At least they do improve, not like EZ CD whose V4.5 supported my LiteOn, and 5.0 didn't, but 5.02 did. Whether that was a little bit of spite because LiteOn bundles Nero, I don't know .

Cheers,

George

[pharlap]

yeah they did do all this in the update and i'm not a critic.
these poor bastards are continually readjusting there burn engine to match not the drives but the amount of poor quality discs being made.
seems like no one likes to have standards any more its like when you want 100% beef patty on your burger but you know the bastard is full of soy
