Hi, has anyone updated their 708a to either 1.02 or 1.03 F/W? I'm currently running 1.01 without any problems, but looking at Plextor's website they've made a few improvements regarding new media and write quality. Trouble is, they never tell you if they've F*cked anything up in the process...

Hi, I heard today that the 105 and 106 are the same drive, and that the 105 can write dvd+r with a firmware update. Does anyone know if this is true or just B.S from a retailer trying to shift his stock of over bought 105's ? I have a 104 myself, but as 105's are for nothing these days it would...

Hi, when I boot up xp is really quick, BUT when it gets to DESKTOP it takes between 30 and 60 seconds before I'm able to do anything.I always leave My Computer C: D: windows open on shutdown. During the 30-60 secs the My Computer window has a grey, blank background, then changes to white but no...

Hi, a friend of mine asked me a question, and it's a problem I've never encountered. He's capturing video with a tv card and saving as an mpeg2 file. He's then importing to dvd fusion and mastering and burning to dvd-r. There's a massive lipsync problem. I have 1 of his "masterpieces" here.I've...

I've heard from 2 different sources that if your dvd player won't play cd-r's/dvd-r's you can enter a code on your machine and it will enable it????? A guy I know does wedding videos,he has a standalone dvd recorder.Some people told him the dvd's don't work on their player, he rang Phillips and...

Just to let anyone who wants to know, T2 ultimate edition, the best way to copy, (that I've found anyway) rip using Smartripper in movie mode, in stream proccessing, select DEMUX to seperate file for video and audio.Use AC3 delay to correct audio and re-encode using REMPEG2.(about 5hours) RE-MUX...

Just ripped, stripped, transcoded T2, removed seamless branching and burned up. Problem is, on the H.D and from dvd-r, using Power dvd xp it all plays fantastic, however, using Hollywood+ and in mine and a friends standalone Sony it jerks all over the place. It can't be the disk because it...

Does anyone know of an alternative to Sonic scenarist.Just found out it's $39 000, a bit rich for me, and I can't find a copy anywhere.( unless anyone would like to share theirs??) I've done everything in Elpresidente's guides upto "Cinecraft Encoder" but now need to put it all back together...

Hi, does anyone know if it's possible for me to rip a dvd and leave 2 audio streams in the vobs, and then have them selectable via a menu? The reason I ask is; I have a dts decoder/amp and a friend doesn't, if I leave JUST dts he would have no sound, His dvd is connected to tv via scart to nicam...

I've ripped T2 using Smartripper 2.41, the 1st vob plays ok but after that I get real freaky stuff going on.If the 2nd vob plays at all it seems to skip between unrelated scenes! (kids mom in hospital hugging some bloke, then cuts to kid screwing atm, then back again...and so on) I've tried...
