| |
A while ago I reported problems on lkml and cdwrite about burning DVDs with my Samsung TS-H552 drive:
http://lists.debian.org/cdwrite/2004/12/msg00088.html and http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0501.2/2162.html
After resorting to installing Windows XP and seeing that I was able to successfully burn 2 DVDs with Pinnacle Instant CD-DVD - even reading video data from my ext3 partitions via ext2fsd (http://ext2fsd.sourceforge.net), I decided to see whether any firmware updates for my drive were available.
I'm pleased to say that after flashing the TS08 firmware update (from TS03), I burned a dozen DVDs, video and data, Memorex +R and +RW and Verbatim +Rs with a 100% success rate and 100% md5sum correctness. The resulting discs play perfectly in my Sony LS755P standalone player.
Burning CDR and CDRW still works fine as ever. This is my same FC3 box, K7-800/256MB RAM, bittorrenting away during burns under a 2.6.12-rc2 kernel.
Thanks everyone for the support and patience :)
