blik Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 ive never heard of the a07 doing dual layer, unless there was a rumor about a firmware upgrade that can do it. Yep its a firmware upgrade, its also available for A06 drives. The pioneer DVDRW drive is rock solid, unlike some of the dodgy DVD rom drives.

daweeze02 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 1/ This is experimental firmware. It's not out yet, and if it is ever released, this won't happen before a very long time. Besides the dual layer media are not even there. It's hard enough to get 8x DVD-R media for the upcoming DVR-107, despite this drive being released shortly, so I wouldn't expect burning anything dual before at least another year... 2/ I personally doubt that Pioneer will ever release a dual layer firmware be it for the DVR-106 or the DVR-107. Why? Simply because of licensing issues. When you bought your 106, you didn't pay for dual layer burning, and that prevents Pioneer from letting you burn anything dual. As far as I know, before you can burn any type of media with a DVD drive, you need to have bought various licenses (which are included in the retail price): You want to burn for 1x -> you have to pay the DVD-Forum for 1x burning of DVD-R media. 2x, 4x, 8x? Same thing (individual licence I think). -RW -> one more license to pay. +R/+RW -> yet another license for Philips & sony this time. So I wouldn't expect anything different for dual layer format, and once the dual DVD-R format has been approved by the DVD Forum, you will be required to have paid for a license format to be able tot burn dual. Unfortunately, when you bought your DVR-106 (or DVR-107), you won't pay for the dual layer burning license. Therefore, even if they have it, it will probably be illegal for Pioneer to provide the dual layer DVR-106 or DVR-107 firmwares, and I suspect the first drive to have the dual layer licensing issue resolved to be the DVR-108. Besides, introducing a upgraded version of the DVR-107 with dual format is good marketing for Pioneer... There's quite a difference between producing an experimental firmware and producing a customer firmware. 3/ Before DVR-107 is introduced to the market, Pioneer would sure like to find a way to sell as many DVR-106 as it possibly can. And suddenly, guess what, instead of using the upcoming DVR-107 to demonstrate dual layer burning (which would have been the logical thing to do) they fetch an old DVR-106 for a demonstration that is sure to generate much hype. This looks like a very smart marketing trick: You let people believe that you will release a firmware for the DVR-106 that will support dual layer, and then you just have to watch them clear the DVR-106 shelves in anticipation for something that will never come and make way for your brand new DVR-107. That's a real marketing beauty! Did anybody hear any official statement from Pioneer telling that they are commited to release a dual layer firmware for the A06? 4/ Doesn't it look as strange to you that Pioneer demonstrated dual layer capabilities of the 106 with 200 MB of data only. A proper demonstration would have been to actually record a FULL dual layer DVD (8.5 GB of data). How comes Pioneer used such a small amount of data? Surely, if their excuse was the time it took to do the demonstration, it was not really a problem to add a couple more demo drives, as all they had to do was to pick another 106 drive and flash with the dual layer firmware. So I'm really getting puzzled. Being suspiscious, I'd say that this could hide the fact that the A06 might not be able to burn a complete DVD-9 properly (as most write errors happen near the end of the media) and that by limiting themselves to 200 MB, Pioneer wanted to stay in a safe burning zone. There sure are a lot of answers we would like to have regarding this demo, and until we find them out, I don't think it would be wise to take anything for granted or give in to the hype. I obviously hope I'm wrong, and that Pioneer will release a fully working DVR-106 dual layer firmware, but only time will tell. Gee, I wish I had been to the CES. I would have loved to ask a few questions to the Pioneer guys there (and get throwned out of the show shortly afterwards )... Is that what you are talking about?

blik Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Not really, it was posted on a cdfreaks article where someone there had done it with a hacked firmware and they acctually wrote 8Gb of data... I'm looking for the link, it was posted on neowin too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daweeze02 Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 oh well i read that aleady and no they cant burn dual layer btw. read this http://forum.firmware-flash.com/viewtopic....=a06+dual+layer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blik Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I dunno, dont really care at the moment as there isnt any dual layer media yet. But i guess we'll just have to wait and see, there are as many articles saying the Pioneer did write the dual layer disk with just the firmware update as without it. Oh well... Here's the cdfreaks link for those interested only 200Mb written though as said by daweeze02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
