Does it mean that you did *not* care to upgrade firmware or did you? You
should try to formulate your statements so that they can be interpreted

media brands and you better upgrade firmware if you want to play with
DVD-dash...

Does it mean that that application programs succeeded and did not report
any errors, yet one of disc was unreadable? And define "unreadable."
E.g. run dvd+rw-mediainfo with unreadable media in unit...

It should not be necessary to ask what messages exactly!

What's dvd+rw-mediainfo output for affected media?
