    go and have a look at http://www.dvd-recordable.org, go to downloads, then firmware.
    once downloaded, make sure u disconnect from the 'net', nothing is in the 105, no other progs are running, and then double clik the 'upgrade.bat' file u just downloaded.
    i have done 8 105's and every one a winner!!!!!!!!

    THis is the upgrade i have on my Pioneer. Now its multiregional and rips at 6x instead of 2x. You also dont have to close down any programs or anything.

    http://pioneerdvd.rpc1.org/

    Its 2/3 down the page.

    1.33 ?
    i thought the latest 105 firmware was 1.30 or am i wrong ?

    Beyond the 6X speed ripping (which I never bother with, why wear down the burner with ripping when you can rip it 16X with a cheap ass dvd rom) what is the big pull for upgrading to 1.33 for the 105?

    It will make your drive region free and will increase the read speed from 2x to around 6x with a maximum of 12x reading. It does a lot

    Not knocking the firmware or anybody, but if you rip from a dvd rom (at 16x) why would you bother upgrading the firmware?

    If you don't read from the pioneer you won't need it to be region free...

    Just my 2 cents.

    i didn't work on mine. I can't rip any faster than 2-4x i have fw 1.33 and it used to go faster, but for some reason it just stopped. I have a dvd-rom drive i use to rip now.

    I agree Tosca, but i only have enough power suplpy for two drives since i have two 80GB hard drives installed. I have a 52X CDRW that i like to keep for CD Burning. The firmware upgrade lets me rip an average of 7x. I used this one:

    yeah i have 3 drives a dvd rom a dvdw/r and a cdw/r i only use my dvdr for dvd writing, im pc, is also an htpc, so it needd to be running well at all times,
    i will have to get a pci ide slot card as i want an additional hdd,
    anyway i put the 1.33 in and it still worls fine, im a little aprihensive about firmware, but this was frim pioneer, so alls fine.

    I had the same problem rob. What I did is I bought a PCI-IDE-RAID card except didn't do RAID, I just use the 2 ide channels it made available to me. I have 3 HDD's, 120GB, 80GB, and 30GB for my OS. I also have DVR-105, TEAC-CDRW540, and Creative 12X PC-DVD. and i still have 2 ide slots open. the card only cost me like 15$ on pricewatch.com
