Can you go back to your previous firmware version?(Plextor)

[NoSmartz]

I just installed the new firmware update for my Plextor 708a(ver. 1.04).
When I installed the new firmware I restarted then used Nero to rip a movie and it got all the way through the writing then a burn error appeared.This was my first coaster with this Plextor.I've done quite a few cd's and movie back-ups and this was my first coaster.I don't believe it was just a coincidence.Is there a way to go back to ver. 1.03?I uninstalled from Device Manager and restarted and no luck.

Just grab the 1.03 firmware from Plextor's site, and run the program. It should go back to 1.03.

If that fails, you could get the firmware binary and the flasher tool and run that in DOS.

Thanx aviationwiz.
I knew I should have left well enough alone but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
I'll apply it and see.
Appreciate your help.

the few burns i got to do with my 1.04 tdk (plextor), it burned fine

using 6.3.0.2

[tazdevl]

Yup, 6302 and 1.04 seem to be getting along well. Thankfully.

[NoSmartz]

I will install Nero 6.3.0.2(I had 6.3.0.0)today and just re-install the 1.04 firmware.I reverted back to 1.03 but I thought maybe it was the media I used,Maybe not.I rip't 1 more back-up before I went back to 1.03 with a DVD+RW and it came out fine.So I'll just go ahead and go to 1.04.Might as well.

yes the fever broke me down too, i bought nero 6 ultra edition last night

[NoSmartz]

You'll dig Ultra Edition.Very nice!If I could get NeroDigital to work right I'd be set.
I gotta get some more DVD media today to try this out.All I have is RW's and I'm itchin' to give it a go.Man Best Buy media is expensive!!!

trust me i know all about nero, was using cracked serial key a few versions back

but now im a paying customer

i mostly use nero recode 2 paired with dvd region free, to have a straight burn at once movie duplicator program

[NoSmartz]

That combo works good.I've tried DVD Region Free and AnyDvd and they both work great.Recode 2 does a great job with both of em'.Fast to!!!

[hoxlund]

so far i like DVDFab and Recode 2

recode 2 burns on the fly, compresses on the fly

and still looks untouched as far as movie quality

[NoSmartz]

What is DVDFab?

i highly advise trying out the un-crippled free trial

[NoSmartz]

Screenshots look a lot like CloneDVD.
I'll give it a whirl.

[hoxlund]

haha, trust me, it only looks like clonedvd

bought it last night, dvdfab that is

and trust me, i like never buy shareware programs

[NoSmartz]

Man there's a lot of software to choose from to this back-up'in.Good software is always available but now I have to get some blank + media.Best Buy never has sales and all I have is a $50.00 gift card.I might have gotten some cheap at First Saturday(big dallas computer swap meet earlier today)but it rained.I didn't want to melt.
