About 3 or 4 months ago I noticed that my DD1203 was not writing at 8x on TDK 8x compatible media. I bought a 25 pak of TDK 8x DVD-r media a while ago and everything was OK. I was writing at 8x on compatible dvd-/+r media, and up to 52x on cd-/+r media. Then, if my memory serves me correctly, I reformatted my HD and after that I noticed that I was only able to write at 4x on the same exact batch of TDK 8x media. I ran a firmware update but nothing changed. I was told that it might be due to the second half of the batch of TDK were indeed 4x max media and this is a known practice by companies. I had excepted that theory until I noticed that my drive would no longer recognize my Sony cd-rw media in which it had before. Now I now that my problem is drive related.
Can anyone help me on this.
