Hi,
I have a VGN-AR11M and with a DVR-K16M dvd drive. I have recently updated my firmware via the support website to the latest revision (v1.10) so that I could burn dual layer dvds.
Everything went fine and using Nero 7 I am now able to burn dual layer dvds, only the drive will write at a max of 2.4x which takes over 40 minutes!
I have found a more newer firmware version (1.42) from another website, although i'm weary of using it because i've read somewhere that sony might not honour my warranty if i do.
Another thing is that when i look up the drivers for my machine on the vaio site it lists more than one firmware for cd/dvd drive. There's an entry for my drive the k16, but there are also entries for k16vad and k16vas. I have a feeling that these are for different optical drive models, am i correct or can i use one of these as well?
btw, i'm using Aone (RICOH) branded DL DVDs which can be burnt at 8x, so theoretically i should be able to do this, right?
I'm sorry for asking so many questions, but sony's support is not really that good, vague at best!
Thanks for any help
EDIT: i think i've posted this in the wrong place - thought i was putting it in the CD/DVD thread, my bad.
