Response (Customer Relations) - 03/03/2003 04:42 PM
Hi i have recently purchesed 3x 105 drives, but have come accross a loose end, using dvdr media i am getting unsupported problems with BULK PAQ... i have learn that one type is ok but the other is not with GEN 3 & 4.

i have been told by bulk paq that the dye now use is by another manufactur, and the problem is down to the FIRMWARE IMPERFECTIONS within the 105.

I also have spoken to a few shops and they too have said this... Yet they all work fine on the 103/104????, this puzzles me..

I have even read and been told that the firmware black lists sertain types of media as such, preventing them writing correct in the new 105????

IF the media is infact of such pore quallity how and why does it write ok in all your other drives?

Is there any truth to the firmware problem?

Can you recomend any types of media that i can buy which will work on the 105 ok?

Will they be any firmware upgrades soon to solve this?

thanks for your time and look forward to hearing from you...

Neil

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Neil,

The problems you describe is common of users of some brands of media, We are aware of a few brands of media on the UK market that do not fully comply with the DVD forum specifications for a DVD-R disk, these brands include Bulkpaq.

The problem is in the way the media manufacturers have produce the disks and not due to a fault with our drives or the firmware.

For a DVD-R disk to comply with the DVD forum specifications it must have a media manufacturer code and a full Media ID code written to the disk, contained within the media ID code is the calibration information for the disk, the calibration information has always been a part of the specification.

The previous DVD-RW drives only read the start of the media ID code and used that to set the write speed of the media, the drive would actually calibrate its self to the disks, Some manufacturers took advantage of this fact and produced fake DVD-R disks with Media ID codes from anther manufacturer, these disks then were able to be used at 2x in our drives, however the quality of recording of these disks when written at 2x is poor and therefore these disk are not recommended or supported by Pioneer as 2x disks.

With the implementation of 4x DVD-R disks, the drive now needs to read the full media codes including the calibration information, the drive will use this calibration information for writing to the disk, It no longer needs to do a test calibration to the disk, If this information is missing, malformed or fake then the disks may fail to work correctly, this is a fault of the disks.

The only way to know exactly what disks you have is to read the Media ID code, More information about this can be found at:

Title: My drive can not write to my DVD-R or DVD-RW disks.
URL: http://pioneer-customerrelations.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/pioneer.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=194&p_created=1036063416


Pioneer does not blacklist media, this would not be in anyone's interests, however if disks do not conform to the forum standards then Pioneer can not support there use in our drives, they may fail due there missing or misleading codes.

If you are having problems with your disks can you find the disks Media ID codes and email back with them

Princo with a "TDK" media code are not made by TDK, nor are they licensed by TDK. They are forgeries. The most likely reason is that Princo wants to pass of these low quality 1x media, untested by Pioneer, as 2x in Pioneer burners.

Boas, vi o teu post no vcdhelp.com, pelo nome (mesmo sem ter lido no fim) percebi que eras "daqui" de Portugal (lol).

Parece que para além de termos o mesmo gravador (dru-500) temos um leitor igual (Mustek 560) mas o que me chamou mais á atenção foi o facto de já teres experimentado os Princo "made by" TDK. Comprei hoje um desses para experimentar, tive alguns problemas com os MMORE que sempre gravaram sem problemas mas que ao fim de uns dias começavam a dar erro a partir de meio dos filmes no Mustek; já tiveste algum problema desse género ??

Já usas os Princo á muito tempo ? Tens tido algum tipo de problema ? Já agora.. onde os compras? Na loja onde comprei este para teste vendem á unidade com caixa a 3 Euros (o mesmo preço dos MMORE) ou em "cake" de 10 a 2.5 Euros cada.

Desculpa esta "intromissão" no teu mail, já tinha colocado esta questão dos erros na leitura no vcdhelp.com mas tive poucas e inconclusivas respostas, caso tenhas alguma questão ou duvida em que eu possa ajudar está á vontade ... é que ... em Português é mais fácil .

Já agora... caso estivesses interessado e fosses aqui da zona (Almada) podiamos eventualmente fazer algumas trocas de filmes "ripados" ou comprar esses "cakes" a meias.... 100 dvd-r é "muita" dvd !


Um abraço

Paulo
