Hi there guys and gals,
I'm having some issues with my DVD burners.
My internal DVD drive (a NEC ND3530A DVD RW) wasn't originally reading any type of disc but after flashing the drive I fixed this problem only to discover that I was still unable to burn DVD's. So whilst I was fixing this problem I purchased an external Matshita UDJA770 that was advertised as a DVD RW. When I plugged the unit in via the USB port the computer recognised the hardware. I downloaded StarBurn (probably not the best software around but it was free) and discovered that I can only burn to the discs in *.VOB, *.IFO or *.BUP formats. So I downloaded an AVI to VOB converter. After all this hassle I thought I'd check that the external (the UDJA770) is recognising the blank DVD-RW I'm putting in the tray and nearly screamed when it wouldn't even recognise the disc as being in the tray let alone the wrong type. I was hoping this was as simple as reinstalling some drivers but can't find any online anywhere. If I pay £29.99 DriverTool will install indate drivers for my entire computer but I begrudge paying £29.99 for something I can do myself...
Do I pay the £29.99 or can I fix this myself? If so how?
Thanks in advance
