LiteOn DvD burner problem

**drixz** · August 23rd, 2004, 01:22 AM

I've just bought a liteon dvd burner (SOHW-1213S)a week ago. I had it played some .avi files and it ran perfectly. But after having it to burn a few Cd-Rs, the dvd burner just couldn't run those .avi files smoothly (having sounds glitches). Can it be a driver or firmware issue ? Or the Dvd lens has gone dirty ? (btw i've just burned around 4 dvds and Cd-Rs... and one of dvd that i've burned contains the .avi files which i used it to play)

Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to WD drixz
Maybe that is the problem, u burnt more data on the dvd that contained the avi files.
i dont have a dvd-rw so i cant reallz help u.
DOes the dvd work in another pc?
Do other avi files, on another dvd work in the liteon?

The avi files used to be played from the hard drive and now you are trying to play them from the DVD?

firmware is available here at liteon but note the warnings.

What motherboard?
How did you install the dvd burner - which ide port? primary or secondary? What type of ide cable did you use? Have you updated the motherboard drivers?

Ermm... i somehow solved the problem by swapping the master and slave (forgot the name of that small chip) of my dvd writter and dvd reader ...
Anyway thanks for the suggestions
