firmware advice pls for cd/dvdw

goldblend57 · 06-02-2008, 09:40 AM

hi there having some probs with my cd/dvdw its a tsst corp ts-L632D, it seems to have probs writing to all forms of dvds (+r, -r etc) it plays them ok and writes to cd-r fine, i managed to get someonfo from another person at a media web site who says

In most cases of problems writing to Blank Media, the likely cause of the failed writing is a result of the firmware on your DVD writer not being up to date. As manufacturers release new discs and dyes to the market, the firmware in your DVD writer needs to be kept up to date in order to recognise the new discs. In our experience, updating the DVD writer firmware resolves over 90% of problems reading from, and writing to blank media.

Please visit the Manufacturer website for your DVD Writer and obtain and apply the latest firmware which should resolve your problem.
now i have found this web site for my model think this is what they meant , but have no idea which one/s to download or what to do with it, can anyone explain pls .

dai · 06-03-2008, 11:16 AM

http://www.weethet.nl/downloads/bin2iso.zip

goldblend57 · 06-03-2008, 12:12 PM

ok i used the bin2iso prog to tranfer file i had saved in my docs from the bin to the iso type , then i used imageburn to write to a cd-rw the program says it was successful yet when i open the disk there is nothing to be viewed ? the upzipped tiro file only contained the one bin file which is the one i transfered ? hidden files are also already selected to be seen so not that, should i be able to see it on disc or not ? and after that what do i do with disk ? thanks
