HELP !!!!!!!SOS DVD drive problem

[spikygv]

I have LG DVD RAM drive . HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA - 4163B

I recently bought a DVD vedio , it has a size 7.5 GB.
Sometimes my DVD drive doesnt detect it at all.
Else, it detects it and plays or rather opens only about 25 % and then it keeps reading errors or it just cant proceed , ALso it cannot read the end parts of the movie( after that 25 % nothing is read ).

It can read and write other DVD of 4.7BG and CD fine and well enough.

Why is it so ? What should i do ? its still in the warranty period.

Can u suggest me good DVD ROM and Combo drives and list out the prices of them. ?

SOS PLZ help . What should i do about this problem with drive ??

Is this the one ?

Its a writer then... not a ROM...

Is the disc that u say it doesnt read well, is it scratched or minorly cracked ?

Go for a writer if u wud like to upgrade... I recommend a Sony solution to it...

I think Liteon is better.

 

[gvrappu]

LITEON AND SONY ARE THE VERY GOOD

IF YOU ARE A DIGIT READER YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT

I have a writer . But its LG . the disc is pretty clean , no scratches. but it is 7.5 GB in size ? how ?

I would like to know a good ( sony , liteon ,LG , samsung etcc. ) DVD rom coz i cant reinvest in another writer . All the same tell me the prices of both.

Lite On 1693 (DVD riter)
Cost= Rs 3000

 

[con_tester]

Size is 7.5 GB cause its a dual layer dvd.
Which has duble the capacity of DVD.
This months Movie DVD of DIGIT is also DL.

 

[spikygv]

Then can my DVD writer play DL DVD ??

I can observe that writer rates have slashed down.
What would be the rate of DVD roms readers ?

 

[spikygv]

Further what s diff b/w dual and double DVD ??
PLZ tell me if my riter can rite and / or read both or whhat ??

What are firmware versions ? explain

i think i have a102 . is it the latest. is there any risk in updating ? How and where do i get newer ones ??

Whats the official site of my company ?? LG ??

*www.lge.com/ >> the official for LG Electronics

risks are there of improper updating that may render ur HW useless...

Dude this Drive can Read and Write the Dual Layer Media's.Perhaps the source burning of the Movie DVD you received might have been corrupt hence leading to a faulty detection.Plus Come on yours is a DVD RAM drive which is not much commonly available right now.Even i doubt the presence of a good DVD RAM media out here.

 

[spikygv]

Yeah , i think so . none of my friends' could read that.
Thanx a lot !
Also , i have a small problem with my LD CDROM drive.
It reads VCD and some data CD's at only 8x . Why ??
Other CD's it starts with 17x and ends in 44x.

 

[QwertyManiac]

I think it depends on what rate the Data has been burnt at... or is it ?

 

[spikygv]

mostly.

Still , is there any solution ??
firmware update dint help !
