| This drive is currently $199 on Newegg, in case anybody is interested. I know I just ordered one. If you recall it was $249 a few weeks ago... http://club.cdfreaks.com/f58/pioneer...ipping-268423/

| For those who upg. to 1.1, do you still have problem w/ Blu Ray +R DL recording? |
Posted: 12-03-2009 - #30
| Hello there I personally never said there was issues with stock firmware with recording bd-r DL media.. I referred to having issues with crappy quality dvd+R DL media. havent flashed the newer firmware yet due to the fact that blue ray recording to BD-R SL and BD-R DL and BD-re has worked flawless for me with the media ive been using in this thread.. now dvd-r or dvd+r and dvd+r DL is another issue in its own but blu ray works great! |

| I received my drive today from Newegg. It is not the US retail box version, it is a Grey market brown box from Pioneer Europe, Belgium! It was Made in Japan, November 2008.

| I have the drive installed. Running Firmware 1.05 First burn: Verbatim 8x +R Retail Branded 25 Pack from ZZF MCC 003 Prodisc made, 2004 date code Jitter seems very nice. No bitsetting as far as I can find with this firmware.

| MID: Ritek.BR2 15 Pack Memorex Branded from Fry's Type: BD-R 25 4x Burned @:8x Burned With: CD Speed 4.7.7.16 Drive/Firmware: Pioneer BDR-203/1.10 Thanks very much for your patience while I am testing this drive. I'm very new to Blu-Ray, and my standalone player (Pioneer BDP-51FD) is not here for me to test playability yet. I will be burning some BDMV and AVC-HD discs in the next few days. Ritek is often slammed here on the forum for crap media, but I must say these BR2 discs seem like a winner to me for cost/quality - at least for data storage. I'll be testing this disc again to see how it holds up over the next few months, as well as subjecting it to U/V rays. Burn time was impressive at 15 min, 2 sec. TRT is baby smooth, and ScanDisc reports 100%.

| This is a test of the Ritek.BR2 disc that I burned around 2 weeks ago: http://club.cdfreaks.com/2251821-post40.html TRT and ScanDisc on the GGC-H20L LG BD Combo drive. Some users reported poor burns with Ritek.BR2 on the GGW version of this drive as I recall, so I wanted to see how well the GGC could read the Ritek.BR2 discs, which seem to be burned quite well by the Pioneer. Result: a smooth TRT and a 100% score.

| Hi everybody ! I have this unit since few days ago, purchased used (quite never used) from an unhappy guy that has tried (unsuccessfully, of course  ) to make ONCE backup copy of a PS3 game. Then have disassembled it from his PC, and sold me for 85€.I don't have jet any Blueray disk to test the unit, but I've tried to burn some DVD, and the quality is really IMPRESSIVE. Firmware 1.11, First graph, second DVD+R burn at 12x speed, Verbatim full printable no id 16x MCC004 media, scan performed at 4x with a Liteon 20A1H. Second graph, second DVD+R burn at 16x speed, Verbatim full printable no id 16x MCC004 media, scan performed at 4x with a Liteon 20A1H. PIF spike at aroun 3,7 GB is approximately where I've found a dust spot after DVD writing. best wishes to everybody. Gyxx |
