Is it true after updating the firmware, this drive becomes muliformat. I check it in the dvd writers forum.
Here it is
Very Good burner,but i'd like to share few comments :
be careful with firmware upgrade ! - i almost killed my drive,flasing utility had report flash error......everything went O.K after third flash (!!!!!) - never power down your computer while it happens ! - i just pressed ctr+alt+del and had repeat flashing procedure after reboot.
Anyway it has newest firmware,burns DVD-R's,DVD-RW and CD-R's without any problem.Backuped movies runs great at stand alone DVD player,so i've decided to rank it at 9........but this flashing problem.......
Also tray mechanism works very loud...
