Hi,

I can write +R/+RW and -R/-RW dvd but with the -R/-RW i have problems.

Hi!
This firmware should work. I also had the same firmware (P2.2) and upgraded to the one you mentioned (P3.3)
Greetings,

But under windows your dvd-rewriter is the DVDR824P or you have the new model DVDR824DP?
My model is the DVDR824K/20 and the firmware is for the DVDR824K/40…there are hardware’s difference between the two models?
Bye

Hi!
This firmware should work for you. My drive was called “DVDR824P” (FW P2.2)before I flashed" too. Afterwards the name was “DVDR824DP” (FW P3.3).
If this firmware wasn’t meant for your drive, it wouldn’t let you flash.
Normally, you can’t do anything wrong.
Bye,

P.S.: My english is also not too good. I’m german.
Yes! I have update the firmware and it works…I have write a +R at 8x and it’s ok.
Thanks
I have problem to write -RW dvd…do you have problem with -R and -RW supports?
Do you use nero?
Bye
hi to all, my name is Paul and are Italian therefore you excuse me for incorrected english. I have a problem, I don’t succeed to download a firmware upload from this path “http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvdrw824k_40/dvdrw824k_40_fus_eng.zip” someone kindly could download it and e-mail me to guns82@interfree.it? please help me and thanks thousands anticipated
Looks like they moved the file… go to
http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/dcbint/cpproduct_selector.pl?slg=ENG
then type in DVDRW824K and from there go to the page of your model and look in the ‘software’ section. K/20 and K/40 actually share the same firmware though (files are equal). K/00 has a different one (probably the +R/W only firmware).
According to another thread someone has flashed the K/20-K/40 firmware to a K/00 and it worked:

but I suppose you do it at your own risk.
