1.80 DVD-R/RW recordability improvement
I have just downloaded and flashed the update for the Pioneer DVR-104 and DVD-R & RW writing no longer work.
I must admit that I have just installed a new motherboard but as everything else is working I suspect that the reason that I can no-longer write to a DVD-RW (Princo ver 1.1) is down to updating the firmware.
Has anyone else tried the ver 1.20 firmware as NERO now gives a 'Communication failure' error when I try to burn to a DVD-R or RW. I have also downloaded the trial version of InstantCD/DVD 6.4 and this won't burn to a DVD-R/RW either.
Writing to a CD-R & RW still work okay as well as reading from a DVD or CD.
If anyone else has tried this updated firmware I would be interested to know if it works before mailing Pioneer about this problem.

Hi there...
I had this problem.
All i did was to re-install mobo drivers..i.e if u have an
Via chip set,then get them from ya mobo makers
site. And that should do the trick...
UPDATE...
looks like i will have to do a re-format..
some of mine(not all)burning progs wont work..
will post back..

I have just set up my old motherboard (Abit SA6R) with my second hard drive and re-installed Windows XP Pro. The Pioneer DRV-104 seems to work fine![]()
I will now try transplanting this hard drive with my new motherboard (NV7-133R) and see how things go with a virgin install after I've installed the motherboard drivers.
At least it looks as though the updated firmware (1.20) works okayor at least with the Abit SA6R (815 chipset).

Just done a clean installation of XP on the NV7-133R and things are okay.
Mind you when I connect up my other drives it looks as though the problem returns so I guess the Pioneer DVR-104 either clashes with something else or I need a bigger power supply.
Thanks for the help.

Sorted...
DVR 104,Firmware 1.20 & NV7-133R motherboard all working okay![]()
It looks like most of my problems were with nero as I've just burned a DVD-RW with RecordNow MAX v4.00 whilst ripping a music CD to my harddrive with WMP & also playing a mp3 and surfing the net to test the burnproof.
The drive stopped halfway through burning over 4 Gig and as soon as I closed down WMP it started up again and finished burning without a problem.![]()
I hoped that Nero might actually work by now but who was I kidding.

I just RMA'd a DVR-104 after 2 days of communications errors under NERO 5582 and WinXP-Pro.
Does this combo. not work at all?
If I install RecordNow Max 4.0 will this solve the problem? My new drive arrives tomorrow and I fly out on vacation on Sunday morn. so I won't have mcuh time to much around with it.
I may have RMA'd a good drive for fault of NERO.
What's the scoop here. I love NERO for my plextors. Can NERO and RecordNow CO-Exist? BTW, I also use InCD for my CDRW's.
What's the answer guys. I'm very new to DVD...
