Who makes this drive?

DVD-16XOEM316B en1 knows who makes this drive? and if there is a firmware upgrade, I'm having a real hard time getting it to read audio disks that I've burned. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

From the page -
BTC BDV316B
DVD-16X BDV316B
Name is "DVD-16X OEM316B"

BTC sounds about right!

RPC-1 (regionfree) patched firmware available
http://forum.firmware-flash.com/dl_firmware.php?category=1&manufactor=7
At Etna, not at the forum page - that appears to be the RPC-2

If you convert a drive to RPC-1, you will also need a software region-hack like Elaborate Bytes DVD Regionkiller.

NB. If you don't intend to use DVD Movies from more than one region, then you don't need to fiddle - but why should we be made to struggle if we want to play imported DVDs?
 
Thanks to all,
It looks like a BTC, I went to their web site , no firmware upgrades, I guess I'll have to buy a new one. Anyone have a suggestion as to the best one to get.
Thanks again...........

Do a search for LiteOn here on our Forum. You will find many happy owners, like myself, that heartily recommend them. LiteOn DVD-ROM Drive 16/48x (LTD163) is an excellent buy and one of the best extractors in the business!
 
Thanks,
My problem is: It reads DVD's just fine, but when I put a cdrom in and open it up I get this message: (Only Part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed) en1 knows what this means? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This OS is WinXP Professional

Well Guys & Gals I finally figured out what my problem was,
Here's what I had to do, I hope this might help someone else.

(Click) on START, then CONTROL PANEL, SYSTEM, HARDWARE then DEVICE MANAGER............
(Click) on ATA/ATAPI Controllers, in my case it was the SECOND IDE CHANNEL,
(Click) on ADVANCE SETTINGS...........
I change my CDROM to PIO MODE,
Now everything works.
Hope this might of help.
Thanks to all for their help.

Have Really Happy Day!

UGH! PIO mode - you mean for the DVD (you said CD-ROM)

DVD performace will be compromised.

If the settings allow it, you might try a restricted DMA mode...
My DVD-ROM seemed a bit "flaky" at the UDMA2 (ATA/33) speed that it defaulted to - setting a speed limit (AMD IDE driver on Win98) - of UDMA0 (16 Mb/s like DMA MW2, but with the error checking of UDMA) - and it was a LOT better.
 
PIO, Ugh, I know but this was the only setting that was available to me! Anyway it works until my new drive arrives.

Have A Nice Day!
