Plextor 780-A Bit-setting?

[gotenks98]

Has anyone heard about a firmware crack for this drive for bit setting? I really would hate to buy another dvd-burn just for dvd+r's. This will probably be the last plextor drive that I buy until they get there act together on the bit-setting and dual layer issues.

Perhaps if you did some homework before you bought the Plextor drive you would have found out that there is NO HACK FOR BITSETTING CAPABILITY & AS FAR AS DUAL LAYER IS CONCERNED, DUAL LAYER MEDIA won't be available till the end of June. Don't blame Plextor for your failure of not checking out what is capable of the drive. Geez!

There is no hack for the Plextor 708A drive. You want bitsetting then purchase a LITEON drive. LITEON has a official utility to use BITSETTING. Or you can get a NEC drive that uses a hack for BITSETTING. In my opinion the Plextor 708A has better writing quality than the LITEON drive. I can burn the same movie with both the LITEON & PLEXTOR drive. The LITEON burned disc has a tendency of not being able to playback in certain standalone dvd players. The PLEXTOR burned disc will play in all of my standalone dvd players. I have more problems with the LITEON burned disc. Remember that's my opinion.
