Nope, it is indeed wierd. I've checked a disc I just burned, the one I burned just after a the last flash, and one I burned a while ago that is OK.

The ones burned with VS0E + strat swap come out as DVD-ROM, but the first disc burned after the flash is recognised while the next one isn't.
Oh by the way, they did all have media codes before the burn, I've been checking every disc since this first started, just to be sure.
Do you think its worth resetting learnt media and then seeing after the next couple of burns? I've never done this before as I thought it was done due to the new firmware. I'll also be getting some different -R media (when the delivery company finally comes back after xmas...) so can try with that.
