I am using Nec DVD-RW ND-3520AW Clone DVD2 2.9.0.1 AnyDVD 6.0.6.3 To burn and play my movies in the computer and in TV with a DVD player. This has worked very well in the past, but lately they will not play correctly in the computer, but do play fine with the player on TV. Can you offer any help on my problem? About the only part in Clone DVD that I will uncheck is Foreign Languages. Thank you, Bill
Hi. You should probably describe in greater detail what exactly you mean by not playing correctly on your computer.
Laddyboy, The last movie I tried was a Western "Yellow Sky", Gregary Peck. It started ok, but after about 15 minutes it would switch over to something with Clark Gable. That is the kind of stuff the computer will do. Put the same copy in the DVD player and it works fine. Bill
Auslander, I am using 8X DVD-R RiData to burn with, if that is what you are refering to. The copy movie was a Western "Yellow Sky"
Hi. Is the Clark Gable movie also on the same DVD but after the Gregory Peck movie and it's just skipping to that movie?
The computer drive is apparently having a difficult time reading the disk. Ritek is OK media but not the best. Are you burning at 4X speed? It could also be your computer drive's lens is dirty. What firmware version is your burner? Have you tried a different media like Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or made in Japan labeled Fuji or Sony.
laddyboy, No, not 4x but at 6x. Do not understand "computer drive's lens is dirty". I have upgraded the drive to "Nec DVD-RW ND-3520AW", I think the AW has something to do with the verison Have not tried a different media, but will do so. Bill
Hello. That burner was used by NEC, Mad Dog, and Freecom. I've only seen it listed a NEC 3520A. I don't think there is any difference between the A and AW versions but I could be wrong. You might try using a cd/dvd lens cleaner on the drive. They are sold wherever disks are sold. Firmware can be found here: http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_firmware.php?download_id=2005 http://www.micheldeboer.nl/firmware/ If the drive exhibits the same behavior over several different disks with different media, I'd surmise the drive may be at fault instead of media.
Hi there, Father is law has a NEC-3520AW and I'm pretty sure the "W" stands for White since his drive is White and not black. Why would they do this ? No idea. And yes any NEC-3520W Firmware will load on it. Latest official NEC Firmware for this drive is v3.07 http://support.necam.com/optical/downloads/flashfirmware/fw/NECND352_v307.exe
I have this same drive and I believe mine is also listed as "AW" (I'm at work and can't check until I get home), but mine is the white one. I flashed mine to booktype using the firmware from Liggy & Dees.
This may be interesting about this Nec DVD_RW ND-3520AW drive. I assembled this computer with parts purchased from Newegg. Unfortunately, this drive is not supported by NEC This drive must be in a USB or firewire enclosure or in a manufactures system such as: Dell, Gateway or HP. Therefore, you will not find an available firmware update or any information about your drive on the NEC site. Please contact your system manufacture for a firmware update or use the internet as a computing resource and perform a Google search for firmware update and your drive model. Some firmware updates and media list for specific drive models can be found at: http://de.nec.de/softwareoverview2.php/id/557 Thank you, NECSAM Service and Support -----Original Message----- From: william creager [mailto:wcreager1@verizon.net] Sent: Monday, September 25, 2006 8:14 AM To: Operations Systems & Support Subject: Questions on Nec 3520 I have and use the Nec DVD_RW ND-3520AW Has firmware been installed and what do the letters AW, mean or stand for? William Creager, Thank you for any help.
I'm pretty sure the regular NEC 3520A firmware works in the AW version. Otherwise we'd have heard from other members.
Hi, The above link shows you old firmware and seems to be outdated. Use this link: http://support.necam.com/optical/downloads/flashfirmware/ v3.07 was flashed on my father in law's NEC-3520AW and it's been working great since !
