HELP: SONY DVD RW DW-G120A is not supporting MoserBaer DVDs!

[Keith Sebastian]

My DVD Writer still giving same ERROR for MoserBaer disc.

Post the media code for the Moser Baer India (MBI) dvd's that you're trying to burn.

Pop in a MBI disc, use Nero Info Tool and check for Manufacturer ID under Disc tab.

Is this code same for MBI discs that you've sourced from different stores? If yes, then there might be a compatibility issue.

Solutions -

Update firmware and hope the new firmware has an updated write strategy for your offending discs.

Don't use MBI discs.

-Keith

@vishal
the firmware of my drive is MYS2 .. looks like u need a firmware upgrade dude. but i could not find any firmware upgrades for this model even after a lot of searching and i am just lucky that i got the drive with updated firmware.

Got it!

That was the reason behind all this problem!
Mine DVD writer firmware version is MYS1 and urs is MYS2...

So now the solution is to upgrade the firmware!
But how? As u said there is no firmware upgrade available on net, even I searched too...

Is there ne way to extract/save the firmware from urs DVD writer using ne s/w and then u can upload that on a host and then I'll be able to upgrade mine writer using that upgrade?

Now u r my last hope!!!

@chindi_chor
its not a software problem. dont post anything u feel like without even reading the whole topic.

and what makes ulead brun now better than Nero ? Nero rocks. Why do you think all drives come bundled with Nero rather than other software?

 

[anilthomas26]

my firmware is also MYS1.....

anyone found any upgrades ? ?? ? ?

absolutely correct.

@chindi_chor
I've been using nero for writing DVD's for more or less 2 years now and it never gave me any problems that too on sony dvd writers on Moserbaer DVD's, they are always my first choice. Nero is one of the most popular Burning softwares and there are plenty of people who'd support that. You may run a poll if you want. 8)

It would be better if you keep your personal choices away in a query thread. Irrelevant replies in a thread on a regular basis wont be tolerated and stict actions would be taken if it is repeated once again any time soon.

OK guys!!!!!

Finally I managed to write MoserBaer DVD in my DVD writer!

The problem resided in the firmware, so I searched today for the latest firmware and found latest firmware MYS3

Only 1.2 MB size and very easy to use!

Download here

mohit! r u listening

hey vishal .. thanks for the link. .i am downloading it now and will upgrade my firmware also to the latest version. and good to know that your problem is rectified

 

[KHUBBU]

I too have the same DVD writer, I have burnt 3-4 Moser Baer Pro w/o any prob but last week my friend gave me a Moser Baer Pro DVD to burn, it gave the "Disc at once" error.

How come it supported earlier and now its giving this error?

gentlemen do try searching a bit harder before giving up.... the drive mentioned here is the OEM of the Liteon super allwrite SHM 165p6s... a digit gold award winner... I couldnt get the liteon drive so I went for the SONY instead... I do agree with unvisible that certain sony drives have "sucked".... but that was b'coz thay were using rebranding Benq drives at that point of time... now they have returned to Liteon and I am glad... MYS3 is the adaptation of the latest Liteon upgrade... also if you like you can force a liteon firmware program... the drive mechanics and electronics are the same and people have done this in the past... only prob is that it voids ur warranty....

 

[Vishal Gupta]

A NEW Firmware is available for this DVD Writer "DW-G120A" here.

 

[mohit]

[Vishal Gupta]
