I am having alot of problems of when buying certified X4 speed disc's the max speed i get is only X2 on writing i have looked for a firmware driver with no luck. its a shame a top end Sony PC has to have a unknown LG Drive, HELP !!:smileydevil:

[tellingd]

What exactly is the issue here - finding disks or is the drive not operating properly - please clarify.

the DVD rom is working the problem is that i used cert. bulkpaq -R DVD X4 red discs burn at 4 speed no problems

i bought orange bulkpaq IR DVD X4 and it will only burn at x2

i have bought other cert. brands of DVD-R discs and only the Red Bulkpaq discs are burning at correct speed

need a firmware driver to make the drive more compatable (please help)

I have used different DVD burning programs but the results are the same always.:smileycry:

Check VAIO link for any updates for your machine. Otherwise you may be restricted to one media type

Look on the bright side - at least it works :smileygrin:

Do not use non-standard DVD colours to burn on, they are less reliable than the blue ones which is the industry standard.

do you know why Sony used a LG drive when Sony's drive would is much more better, reads more disc types and would be alot more supported

[hlm2004]

Don't understand colours on the top face is orange, the disc is normal blue/purple colour

OH I see, sorry.
Yeah agree that Sony's drives are better.
Have you tried TDK?

[hlm2004]

No but they are expensive i do have a problem now i just bought a pack of a 100 orange bulkpaqs. Because the red ones were ok DUH !!

Thats why it's best to buy a small pack to see if they work with the dvd writer before buying masses in bulk.
