hi to everyone of you
i am newbie here and as you know i am in big trouble :(
last day i bought  asus 1608p dvd-rw and i burned a media and i wanted to make a pi-po test by dvdinfopro v4.16 but it said current drive is not suitable for this feature
so tell me pls  wont dvdinfopro support my dvd-rw and how can i make this pi-po test?

Not all drives have the function builtin to their fw, dvdinfo can only scan if drive fw has the control codes in it. As it stands only a very few fw have it , nec 3500 not release to public, liteon, pioneer, BenQ, nu tech, sony if and only if its oem liteon, philips if an only if its got the right fw.

i ve the last fw 1.40 and i heard some news there wont be any difference between asus fw 1.50 (will release) and 1.40 ,i am relly upset,so what would you want me to do?how can i test pi and po

(in reply to KenW)

your real best bet is to take asus back and get one of the drives that can scan from list above. Sorry about the only way i can see to scan is to have drive that has the scan stuff in it.

i ll wait that asus ll give the special fw which supports dvdinfopro
and i ll look at the new versions of dvdinfopro
is that hard to put control codes in dvdinfopro to support asus?
the producers hear me pls do something for asus users
thanks KenW

Its not dvdinfopro that needs the codes its the Asus drive that needs the support adding

Hi,

I understand your frustration,  but this is something I probably cannot add without the assistance of Asus.  The commands to do the scanning probably are not in there.  However they may be,  the only way to find out is to do some testing.  If you want to email me direct  nicw@bigpond.net.au  i will make a special version for you to test,  and if it works we can release publicly.
cheers

Hi,

GOOD NEWS folks,  we managed to get the Asus drive going.  Any ASUS DRW-1608P owners out there,  can email us to test.  If no problems we will release this very soon.  Initial tests look good though the drive is scanning.

cheers
nicw

After consultation with Nic I converted my Pioneer 109 to an ASUS    DRW-1608P 1.50  and he produced several builds for me to test and here is the final result.


Anyone with the ASUS DRW-1608P  interested in testing this build email Nic for details  
Here is the scan of the same disc scanned in my NU drive


This was a very bad quailty burn and was the first disc I laid my hands on for testing.
Generaly the scan results are considerably lower than in these scans

Nic is the one :) also his team
thank you nic
my nightmare became  an unbelievable dream
and with this job dvdinfopro ll be the first in these kind of softwares
thanks again
