hello all
i just had some question about upgrading to the most current firmware for my dvdr. i have a sony dru-510a.

i just got the concepts down on how to make backup of my dvd's. so i think i am getting preaty good on making backups.(shrink,nero 6)
i have been reading the formus has anyone seen any performance gains when upgrading to the lastest firmware. can you really burn up to 8x with my dvdr. in anyway does this void the warrenty of the dvdr or lower its life span.

from a beginers aspect is it to early to upgrade or should i wait until i get a little more comfortable using the dvdr.


thanks
