    Asus notebook have Mat****a UJ-831d dual layer drive.
    I've just tested DVD-R burning with Samsung Pleomax DVD-R 4x media, but it fails at around 70%, with hardware error (Tried Nero, Deep Burner, and Burn4Free). Have someone informations about Mat****a UJ-831d firmware update?

    Yeah, thats a Pansonic drive...... it's 8x dual layer, but I'm not 100% that'll burn -R disks...

    I know that UJ-831b is certainly dual layer / dual format (in the W1 / M6 / Z71a)

    I'm not sure if there is a difference between the "b" and the "d" - I thought those were just color codes.......

    Try this link and see if you can find something: http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:hNkshp0FKr4J:32bits.org/results/mat****a%2Buj-831d%2Bfirmware.html+uj-831d&hl=en

    Thanks,

    It's amusing how this forum censors part of a company name, thinking that it is profanity...[ :D]
