	Great piece of kit, it just nailed the manufacturer of my useless cheap DVD's as bought from TESCO (UME incase anyone wants to know) Posted April 23, 2007 by boing. Tool version 5.0.1 using OS WinXP Ease of use 10 of 10 Functionality 10 of 10 Value for money 10 of 10 Overall score 10 of 10
	Does what it needs to do. A must for when people post that a certain brand of discs works fine, when the brand might actually use 3 different manufacturers (Verbatim for one). And to the fellow who said: I have the original 1.0a firmware in my Sony, and it works just fine. He's basically working with a beta version of the firmware. There have been numerous improvements over this original (untested in the real world) firmware. Posted November 20, 2003 by MysticE.
