Sounds to me like you need to update the burners firmware. Go to the manufacturers website, and search for your burners model and f/ware updates. Download, install and Restart your pc, you should be ok.
i have a Matshita UJ-840S drive on a toshiba laptop and im note sure if i can get firmware, do you konw where i can download that?
Had a look see, but got Panasonic for that Matsushita, but not the model. It may be best to contact customer service, and give them all the details. Here's a link to Toshiba (usa) if your interested. http://www.toshiba.com/tai/
i tried downloading the firmware from the site and i downloaded both of the firmwares and neither of them worked. the sony one said that it wasnt for this burner. any other ideas. i really appreciate the help as this is getting very very frustrating. thanks
i have a bad quality of all downloads. i used to have red/green lines all over the downlaod or some white spots as i played them with a bs player. i've installed K-Lite Codec Pack . i don't have any red/green lines, but the picture is kind of blury and not really clear. how can i improve this? on some downloads the picture is still bad (blury) and i have the right codec according to gspot. (it says: codec is installed). the pic seems so be different every time i use another player. with bs-player was okay (white spots, but clean pic) and now with K lite codec pack it's blury and when i burn it on a dvd the pics remains the same as it was on the pc (white spots or blury). what shuold i do? how can i get rid of this problem?
