After dozens of good dvds, constant errors! Help!

What firmware version you using? 1.3

 

Yes, 1.30 firmware. I have only used the Pioneer 4x media. I also bought some cheap K-hypermedia disks and they only burn at 1x and also the movies have errors! Any recommendations on media and/or if my firmware is up to date?

Thanks
Goalie

 

I think the firmware you are using is fine. It should def. work with the Pioneer own media. I wouldnt buy the cheapest media on the market. Try Ritek G04's

 

Nothing but JOY with Verbatim, although I got them at over $2 each. Ten for ten with movie backups. I am also going to experiment this weekend with Maxell, since dvd-dupply.com ran out of Universal media. Aaaaaaaaanyway, looks like this thread is complete. Here are my stats for anyone getting into this hobby, this thread may be educational:

Pioneer DVR-A105U
(with 2x firmware crack)
Windows XP Home
1.4 gigHz Athlon
Smartripper 2.41
DVD2one 1.0.0.0 or DVD Shrink if I want to keep special features.
Nero 5.5.1.35 to burn (DVD, UDF/ISO mode with "Force DVD Compatibilty" on the UDF screen and "Joliet" deselected.)
K-hyper media = garbage every time
Verbatim 2x = perfect every time

Thanks to everyone who contributed. This forum is the BEST!!!
