I see the firmware needs updated. http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2005 There is a link for newer firmware.
Same problem here. I can burn audio and data CD-R's just fine, and mp4's to CD-R, but I always get an "illegal disc" error when trying to burn a DVD. I've tried different brands, same prob. Doesn't matter if I try to copy or re-encode, same result. Here is the log (trying to copy a DVD I authored myself). THANKS!!
