| this drive came in my packard bell notebook, i updated the firmware early-on. no reason other than there was a newer version than what i had. it has 1M34 firmware on for the last 2yrs, the only bad burns come when i move the laptop when its burning. i have used many different types of media, cheap and nasty to daylight robbery expensive. all good burns. only downside to this drive is its 1x and -r only does anyone know of a firmware to make this drive more compatible?

| Folks, I have a question. I use sony digital 8 camcorder TRV730. When i record the movie and run it from the camera to TV the picture quality is great. But when i write the DVD, its bad. please read below to know what i do... I download the movie on to my HP Pavillion desk top. Edit the movie with pinnacle software and make an avi file. Finally write the avi file on to a DVD using internal DVD writer with NERO 6 software. When i play that DVD there is a reduction in picture quality to almost 50%. Is that because of transcoding? or because of DVD writer quality? Is there any way to improve the picture quality? (Software or hardware) Thanks Tom trk111@yahoo.com Comments posted by Tom Scott from United States, January 31, 2005. Rated this writer No rating. |

| Have not been able to burn any DVDs with Roxio 5 Platinum or Roxio ECDC 6. Burn always fails. Have updated the firmware with no change. Drive always burns CDs fine. I am going to try Nero 6 and see if I have better luck. The problems may be Roxio and not the drive. Comments posted by Diver Dan from New Zealand, September 29, 2004. Rated this writer 2 of 10. |

| Came installed in a Satellite Pro laptop. With FW1330, would not recognise 4x (even 1/2/4x) DVD-R media. With FW1333, it recognises most discs, but only works reliably with good, branded media: TDK, Verbatim, Traxdata(!). Datawrite, Datasafe, Princo, Bulkpaq, etc. will complete writes, but are then not readable, even in the same drive. Comments posted by Damian Skeeles from United Kingdom, March 29, 2004.

| I have a Gateway laptop with the Toshiba SD-R6012 DVD burner. I've had it for two months with absolutely no problems. Not one coaster!! My only gripe is that I have not been able to find a firmware upgrade for it. The current version 1G32. (I assume G for Gateway) Comments posted by eMARTY from United States, February 19, 2004.

| Tried to Use EMTec DVD-R: With Firmware 1332, Drive froze with 5 out of 6 Media (Nero and DVD Decrypter). With Firmware 1337 7 out of 10 Media were recognized and burning was started, but about 50% failed with errors. No problems with Firmware 1332 and Sony DVD-R, Maxell DVD-R, Pioneer DVD-R and DVD-RW, Verbatim DVD-R and DVD-RW. Will try more media with 1334 Firmware.

| I've been using this drive in my laptop for 4 months. As for me it does its job good, you should only find good media to feed it with. I uses Nero 5.5 Media: good with TDK DVD-R\\RW and even better with Verbatim DataLifePlus DVD-R\\RW (none of them was wasted except only one TDK DVD-R medium); cheap ($1) polish Datex (www.datex.com.pl) DVD-RW are not bad (only one of one dozen discs was not recognized, others are 100% writable and readable) bad with Princo DVD-RW: 50% of discs weren’t recognized, even if you succeed to burn it, it’s not necessary that Toshiba will read it every time (every second read attempt fails) and don’t even think to buy eProformance DVD-RW, they make the drive crazy when trying to access this media and never succeed.

| Only fails until I've use Verbatim DataLifePlus 2X. I've try Princo (cover white), burn ok but errors reading after 50% of the surface. Try Ritek (G03)...A disaster, can't burn after 6% progress. So imagine reading the DVD... Verbatim DataLifePlus : 5 success, One fail burning with IC7 (trial version). Success with DVD Decrypter burning .ISO Comments posted by Louis from Other, April 15, 2003. Rated this writer 5 of 10. |

| This DVD Recorder is found in TOSHIBA (and SONY) notebooks. Suspect that once I stick with reliable blank media, that I will be very happy with the drive. Still some testing required, so I am giving the drive a lower rating for now. TEST RESULTS: Toshiba 2450 Notebook DVD Decrypter DVD2ONE NERO 5.5.10.15 PRASSI PRIMODVD 2.0 2 VIVASTAR "noname" DVD-R 1X 1 RITEK "noname" DVD-R 1X 1 VERBATIM DVD-RW Both VIVASTAR DVD-Rs are coasters. The burns completed successfully, but pixelate and lock up less than half way through. (Movies: SHR*K, M*MMYR*T*RNS) The RITEK DVD-R is perfect; burns and plays back on Standalone TOSHIBA, NORCENT, and on PC DVD-ROM. (Movie: M*MMYR*T*RNS) The VERBATIM DVD-RW burns successfully but only plays back in its entirety on PC DVD-ROM. Locks on TOSHIBA standalone (as expected), but also locked on NORCENT (UN-expected!!).

| Had one fail in only a few weeks use. I have tried the following three media types, only one with reliable success. Optodisc DVD-RW (OW470-000):1 Success 2 not recognized 1 froze while burning. Memorex DVD-RW: 1 Success 2 others not recognized by drive Verbatim DataLife Plus DVD-R: about 30 successes, only 1 coaster and that was my fault.
