OK. Have to admit it's somewhat embarrassing I overread that section flagged "important notice".. But to be honest, things could still be put more clearly, especially for people not so deep into all of this. Before I will be able to test it next week, probably Monday evening, I now came to the following "theory": "Cdrecord currently only supports SAO mode. Cdrecord-ProDVD-1.11a35 and later allow to specify -dao for correctness. Later versions of cdrecord will only write DVDs if -dao is specified" -> it could be a good idea to specify -dao for DVD-R even if it may be just "for correctness" > cdrecord writes in SAO mode so it needs to know the sizes. -> Currently using the pipe-scheme "mkisofs | cdrecord" I would have to specify tsize, which I cannot do. So I cannot use the pipe but have to create an image, the filesize of which will be what is needed. Right? I read the other post regarding pxupdate. I would try that as well on Monday, but as you already stated there is no firmware binary supplied by Plextor. I had the hope it could be somehow extracted using Windows, but indeed I was not able to do that. As for the "secret firmware" - is it a new version 1.04, or only the 1.03 as pure flash-image? In the latter case, if Plextor calls that "secret", I wouldnt know how to call that.. perhaps "strange".. And being on that topic, just being curious: are you under some kind of NDA with Plextor here? After all, proDVD and pxupdate are only available as binary as far as I can tell, would it be a problem for Plextor if that was Open Source? (So just trying to find out if Plextor behaves like SD card consortium or similar proprietary..) FL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
