    PBDS DVD +-RW DS-8W1P

    Hello, I have the above drive and can not find any firmware for it anywhere. It doesn't seem to read a majority of the media I have tested with it. I am using Nero and can burn only 1 brand so far of single layer DVD and have not found any DVD-DL it will burn. It wont even recognize alot of my dvds burned on other computers. I am considering returning it since this is a relatively new laptop.

    Before I do that, I thought I would check and see if anyone has any suggestions.

    Hi,

    according to your description, this is a laptop drive. The only source for newer firmwares is the support website of your laptop's manufacturer.
    If your laptop is still under warranty, then have it serviced.

    I used the liteon tool to make it region free but not found to much other data/firmware on the web.

    I must say its a very quiet when reading/writing

    Hello,

    I also have this drive and can't seem to find any firmware supporting bitsetting....
    Has anyone found a LiteOn firmware suitable for this drive that supports bitsettings?

    Thanks in advance for your answers!

    Welcome to cdfreaks hefman.

    Think drive and also firmware posted are "manufactured" by Lite-On.
    (This is a Dell rebadged Lite-On burner.)

    Happy burning.

    In case it helps someone else (despite the age of the original post):

    I just ran into problems with a DS-8W1P in a Dell SFF PC. The first three Verbatim 16x -R (MCC-03GR20) burns from a new stack all failed (they'd been using Maxell-branded CMC discs up to now ).

    I updated the firmware from BD1A to BD1C (Dell update R190635) and tried again with ImgBurn, but this also failed (peak PI failures of over 300!):

    Yet a disc from the same stack burned fine on my SH-S203B, so the problem isn't with the media.

    I then tried a Verbatim 16x +R (MCC-004) and got a great burn:

    MCC004_DS-8WIP-BDIC.png

    Seems to me that this drive has a problem with MCC-03GR20...
