    You see - if you want to burn at 8x speed you have to choose among a small number of supported discs. :rolleyes:

    Thanks to ala42 from cdfreaks.com for providing the tool to read out the information from the firmware ( http://ala42.cdfreaks.com)

    Thats very interesting. I have a SONY SZ 110 with a DVD-RW MATSHITA UJ-832D. My Dual Layer DVD+R (FUJIFILM) gets spit out when trying to write on it. However my FUJIFILM DVD-RW @ 4.7 GB works fine. I've sorta tried looking for other brands of DVD+R but havent looked much for individual sale ones. WOuld luv to get the info for my type of drive the way you did.
    If I understood correctly what you put up.

    You need to download your firmware from Sony or extract it from your drive. Then you just go to http://ala42.cdfreaks.com/MCSE/ and download the
    MediaCodeSpeedEdit tool and load the firmware. :)

    is it true with slot-in drives that if you travel with a disk in the slot (and the laptop therefore gets moved around) its not as secure as with a tray-loading design? wasnt sure about this but went with the tray slot just in case

    TBH - I don't know. I wouldn't leave a disc in the drive in both cases.
