Unable to read DL Dvds

[Xiphos]

Hi All

My DVD writer, Lite-on LH20A1P is unable to read DL DVDs supplied with Digit. Thing is, everything else works perfect, and the thing is supposed to Write everything (and ergo read)


My other drive (An LG combo) is able to read them though.

Scrutiny reveals that the lite-on has no region selected, while the lg has region 1 selected.

Could this be the problem? since i'm allowed only 5 region changes, i dont wanna fiddle around much.

Cheers

ok ok no problemo folks...just a firmware upgrade did it...turns out i was rolling it back instead of updating it. Sorry for the fire alarm

hi there
I am having the same problem with lite-on dvd-rw.

I updated the f/w to "klon", latest available on site.
Which version are u using?

The DL dvds are getting detected now, but when I explore through the digit dvds(the problem is not limited to Digit) same problem arises for most of the portions especially the folders having the real stuff, dvd drive starts making hissing and clicking sounds and dont respond and fails to read.

In short I can only see what it contains but can't execute or copy files, for some files even the icons can't be retrived.

Plz tell me are u facing same problem,
